Book
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.
Book
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.

TL;DR: The ENCORE experiment investigated responses of coral reef organisms and processes to controlled additions of dissolved inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus on an offshore reef at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, and showed that reef organism and processes investigated in situ were impacted by elevated nutrients.
