Journal ArticleDOI
Patterns in decomposition rates among photosynthetic organisms: the importance of detritus C:N:P content
TL;DR: The results obtained demonstrated the existence of a general positive, linear relationship between plant decomposition rates and nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, and reflect the coupling of phosphorus and nitrogen in the basic biochemical processes of both plants and their microbial decomposers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of light limitation on seagrasses
TL;DR: A series of conceptual models are presented describing the factors driving the light climate and seagrass responses under current and future conditions, with special attention on the deepest edge of the meadow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple scattering on coral skeletons enhances light absorption by symbiotic algae
TL;DR: Symbiotic scleractinian corals are one of the most efficient solar energy collectors in nature, and the modulation of the internal light field by the coral skeleton may be an important driving force in the evolution of this group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen fixation by symbiotic cyanobacteria provides a source of nitrogen for the scleractinian coral Montastraea cavernosa
Michael P. Lesser,Luisa I. Falcón,Aimé Rodríguez-Román,Susana Enríquez,Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Roberto Iglesias-Prieto +5 more
TL;DR: The results presented here show that the zooxanthellae of M. cavernosa acquire nitrogen from cyanobacterial nitrogen fixation, and that the distribution of corals with symbiotic cyanobacteria is positively correlated with increasing depth.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reconstruction of seagrass dynamics: age determinations and associated tools for the seagrass ecologist
Carlos M. Duarte,Núria Marbà,N.S.R. Agawin,Just Cebrian,Susana Enríquez,Fortes,Margarita E. Gallegos,Martín Merino,Birgit Olesen,Kaj Sand-Jensen,J. S. Uri,Jan E. Vermaat +11 more
TL;DR: These reconstruction techniques should provide a powerful tool to improve knowledge of seagrass species and populations from remote areas based on a single or just a few visits and generate a strong foundation for the study of comparatlve seagRass ecology and testing of theories previously applied to terrestrial plant populations.
