Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The literature, and previously unpublished data from the authors' laboratories, shows that the δ13C of organic matter in marine macroalgae and seagrasses collected from the natural environment ranges from -3 to -35‰, which correlates primarily with taxonomy and secondarily with ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Seagrass degradation in Australian coastal waters
Diana Walker,Arthur J. McComb +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the major wide-spread human-induced declines of seagrass, from 11 sets of locations around Australia, are summarized and the reasons for these losses are discussed, most being attributable to reduced light intensity, but in many cases, other factors interact to make the process of loss more complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral death from sewage and phosphate pollution at Aqaba, Red Sea
Diana Walker,Rupert Ormond +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that the rate of death of colonies of the coral Stylophora pistillata was 4 to 5 times higher in the polluted area than in a control area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of boat moorings on seagrass beds near Perth, Western Australia
TL;DR: Boat moorings have been found to produce circular scours in seagrass meadows, ranging from 3 to 300 m2 as mentioned in this paper, with most damage occurring in the Rottnest Island, Warnbro Sound and Cockburn Sound regions of Western Australia.
Book Chapter
Productivity and nutrient limitation
TL;DR: The results reviewed here therefore broaden the data base, to allow more meaningful generalizations and predictions about seagrass productivity in different ecosystems.
