Citations in the corpus

• Non‐linearity in ecosystem services: temporal and spatial variability in coastal protection (2009, background): “As a result, the biotic structures in coastal habitats affect the momentum of the water, leading to a reduction in current velocity and attenuation of wave energy (Koch et al. 2006).”
• Global seagrass distribution and diversity: A bioregional model (2007, background): “All these systems exert a stabilizing effect on the environment, resulting in important physical and biological support for other communities (Gillander, 2006; Koch et al., 2006).”
• Biogeomorphology of the Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows (2017, background): “Seagrass meadows are among the most important elements for the functioning of marine coastal ecosystems, and represent a major focus for research and conservation (Koch et al., 2006; Short et al., 2011).”
• Trophic importance of diatoms in an intertidal Zostera noltii seagrass bed: Evidence from stable isotope and fatty acid analyses (2011, unknown): “In seagrass beds, SPOM sedimentation may thus be enhanced because the seagrass canopy greatly weakens the hydrodynamism (Koch et al., 2006).”
• Interaction between hydrodynamics and seagrass canopy structure: Spatially explicit effects on ammonium uptake rates (2008, background): “Seagrasses inhabit intertidal and subtidal areas throughout the world (Larkum et al. 2006), where they experience variable hydrodynamic forces that interact with their canopies (Koch et al. 2006).”
• Biological mechanisms supporting adaptation to ocean acidification in coastal ecosystems (2015, unknown): “Habitats like seagrass meadows and kelp forests alter water flow and attenuate waves and turbulence (Granata et al., 2001; Koch et al., 2006; Hendriks et al., 2007).”
• The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystem services (2011, background): “For example, water purification by seagrass beds is linked to the ecological processes of nutrient uptake and suspended particle deposition (Rybicki 1997, Koch et al. 2006).”
• Effects of seagrasses and algae of the Caulerpa family on hydrodynamics and particle-trapping rates (2010, background): “…their surrounding physical habitat, since their canopies attenuate turbulence and reduce water flow (Koch et al. 2006), promoting fluxes of particles to the bed (Hendriks et al. 2008) enhancing sedimentation (Koch et al. 2006; Bos et al. 2007) and preventing resuspension (Gacia and Duarte 2001).”
