Seagrasses: biology, ecology and conservation

TL;DR: The Seagrass Biome and Ecology: New Contributions from a Landscape Perspective focuses on the role of grazing, ecology, and management in the decline and recovery of SeagRass Ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Temperature-induced bleaching of corals begins with impairment of the CO2 fixation mechanism in zooxanthellae

TL;DR: A model for coral bleaching is proposed whereby the primary site of heat damage in S, pistillata is carboxylation within the Calvin cycle, as has been observed during heat damageIn higher plants, Damage to PSII and a reduction in F-v/F-m are secondary effects following the overwhelming of photoprotective mechanisms by light.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fluorescent pigments in corals are photoprotective

TL;DR: It is reported that in excessive sunlight FPs are photoprotective; they achieve this by dissipating excess energy at wavelengths of low photosynthetic activity, as well as by reflecting of visible and infrared light by FP-containing chromatophores.

Biology of seagrasses : a treatise on the biology of seagrasses with special reference to the Australian region

TL;DR: This book examines the role of seagrass beds as nursery grounds for commercially important fish, and addresses the problems of human impact on seagRass communities, the conservation ofSeagrasses beds, and their restoration.
