Seasonality of eelgrass, epiphyte, and grazer biomass and productivity in subtidal eelgrass meadows subjected to moderate tidal amplitude
TLDR
In this article, the authors measured monthly for two years in a subtidal meadow subjected to moderate tidal amplitude in the San Juan Islands, WA, USA, and measured major physical and chemical factors (e.g., nutrient concentrations, light, and temperature) concurrently.About:

Effects of irradiance, temperature, and nutrients on growth dynamics of seagrasses: A review
TL;DR: Understanding of growth dynamics in seagrass, as it relates to main environmental factors such as light, temperature, and nutrient availability, is critical for effective conservation and management of seagRass habitats.

Seagrass-sediment interactions, positive feedbacks and critical thresholds for occurrence: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, a literature review summarizes the limiting factors for seagrass occurrence, and the effect positive feedbacks in SEAGrass systems have on these threshold levels.

Nutrient dynamics in seagrass ecosystems.
TL;DR: In the context of primary production ecology, the term ‘nutrients’ is usually understood as inorganic salts or ions that provide the elements necessary for plant survival, growth, and reproduction.

TL;DR: Ulva specimens grew faster than Ulvaria in intertidal chambers but not significantly faster in subtidal chambers, and Ulva was better able to acclimate to a high-light environment and was more tolerant of low salinity than ULVaria, suggesting that nitrogen availability could affect species composition.

Benthic macro-invertebrate community composition within a mangrove/seagrass estuary in northern New Zealand
TL;DR: Results from these benthic samples indicate that Matapouri Estuary has a high overall biodiversity, with distinctive faunal assemblages found within different habitats, and some seasonal variations also apparent.

Applied Linear Regression Models
TL;DR: In this article, a simple linear regression with one predictor variable variable is proposed for time series data, where the predictor variable is a linear regression model with a single predictor variable and the regression model is a combination of linear regression and regression with multiple predictors.

Biological oceanographic processes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for the detection of biological oceanographic processes using biological oceanography processes, which they called Biological Oceanographic processes (BOP). But this method is not suitable for outdoor applications.

Chesapeake Bay: An Unprecedented Decline in Submerged Aquatic Vegetation
Robert J. Orth,Kenneth A. Moore +1 more
TL;DR: Data on the distribution and abundance of submerged aquatic vegetation in Chesapeake Bay indicate a significant reduction in all species in all sections of the bay during the last 15 to 20 years, which is unprecedented in the bay's recent history.
