Stable isotopes and biomarkers in microbial ecology. (2002, background): “In another study, isotope ratios of bacterial PLFA extracted from the sediment of several European Zostera beds showed no relationship with those of seagrass material but correlated well with ratios of an algal PLFA (20:5g3) that is abundant in benthic diatoms [33].”
The importance of mineralization based on sulfate reduction for nutrient regeneration in tropical seagrass sediments (2001, background): “On the other hand, Boschker et al. (2000) found that macrophyte derived organic matter only acted as a minor source of organic matter for the sediment microbes.”
Trophic importance of diatoms in an intertidal Zostera noltii seagrass bed: Evidence from stable isotope and fatty acid analyses (2011, unknown): “This low contribution of seagrass organic matter and the dominance of diatom in SSOM composition has already been demonstrated at the same site (Vouvé, 2000) and in other seagrass beds (Boschker et al., 2000; Volkman et al., 2008).”
Eutrophication in shallow coastal bays and lagoons: the role of plants in the coastal filter (2007, background): “However, the majority of the organic matter and nutrient accumulation in some seagrass-vegetated sediments can be attributed to imported allochthonous material (Boschker et al. 2000, Gacia et al. 2002).”
