Potential role of sponge communities in controlling phytoplankton blooms in Florida Bay (2006, background): “Although the direct cause of this massive loss was likely sulfide toxicity (Borum et al. 2005), it has been hypothesized that the cumulative impact of a number of stress-inducing factors contributed to this phenomenon (Robblee & DiDomenico 1991).”
Recurrence of Thalassia testudinum seagrass die-off in Florida Bay, USA: initial observations (2016, background): “…effects of elevated summer temperatures and high spring− summer salinities) resulting in sustained pore- and bottom-water anoxia can lead to insufficient aeration of roots and rhizomes, toxic levels of sulfide intrusion and plant death (Carlson et al. 1994, Borum et al. 2005, Koch et al. 2007).”
Shift in seagrass food web structure over decades is linked to overfishing (2012, background): “The combination of low oxygen and intrusion of sulfide in seagrass is suggested as a key factor for sudden die-off (Holmer & Bondgaard 2001, Borum et al. 2005).”
Oxygen dynamics in the rhizosphere of Zostera marina: A two‐dimensional planar optode study (2006, background): “Sulfide invasion has been demonstrated to occur in Z. marina and Thallassia testudinum in darkness at low oxygen concentrations in the water column (Pedersen et al. 2004; Borum et al. 2005).”
Thalassia testudinum response to the interactive stressors hypersalinity, sulfide and hypoxia (2007, background): “Sulfide accumulates in sediments of Florida Bay (Carlson et al., 1994) and other tropical regions because of high temperatures (Holmer and Kristensen, 1996; Koch et al., 2007b) and the low capacity of carbonate sediments to bind sulfide into solid-phase forms, particularly pyrite.”
Classifying Ecological Quality and Integrity of Estuaries (2011, background): “…(Harris, 1999; Hansen et al., 2000; Eyre and Ferguson, 2002), seagrass meadows are extremely productive systems, which exhibit high biodiversity, and support complex food webs, constituting a habitat refuge for a number of organisms (Orth, 1992; Boström and Bonsdorff, 2000; Borum et al., 2005).”
Oxygen Movement in Seagrasses (2007, methodology): “Here, internal plant content of oxygen varied not only with surface irradiance and water column oxygen but also with sediment composition and plant density ( Borum et al., 2005 ).”
