Thermal tolerance of two seagrass species at contrasting light levels: Implications for future distribution in the Great Barrier Reef (2011, background): “Seagrasses have adapted to their highly variable light environment primarily by meeting respiratory and growth requirements with a* Corresponding author: Catherine.collier@jcu.edu.au 2200 combination of photosynthetic C fixation and reallocation of reserves (Ralph et al. 2007).”
Potential for landscape-scale positive interactions among tropical marine ecosystems (2014, background): “In nutrient-rich environments, they can be overgrown by algae and epiphytes, which may compete for light (Ralph et al. 2007, van der Heide et al. 2007).”
Long-term climate-associated dynamics of a tropical seagrass meadow: implications for the future (2011, background): “Light availability is a primary controlling factor of seagrass physiology and resultant productivity (Ralph et al. 2007).”
Epiphyte-cover on seagrass (Zostera marina L.) leaves impedes plant performance and radial O2 loss from the below-ground tissue (2015, background): “It has been speculated that the high minimum light requirement for growth reflects that seagrasses often grow in anoxic, sulfide-rich sediments (Ralph et al., 2007).”
