Abstract:

Seagrass meadows are highly productive, ecologically and economically valuable ecosystems. However, increased human activities along the coastal areas leading to processes such as eutrophication have resulted in the rapid loss and deterioration of seagrass ecosystems worldwide. This thesis focuses on the responses of seagrasses to increases in nutrients, subsequent increases in ephemeral algae, and changes in the physical-chemical properties of seawater induced by interaction with other marine biota. Both in situ and laboratory experiments conducted on the tropical seagrasses Cymodocea serrula

Abstract:

<p>Seagrass beds cover large intertidal and subtidal areas in coastal zones around the world and they are subjected to a wide variety of anthropogenic influences, such as nutrient enrichment due to sewage seepage. This study was undertaken to address specific questions focusing on whether near shore tropical seagrasses that receive a constant influx of groundwater nutrient inputs, would exhibit a higher productivity and to what extent epiphytic algae reflect the impacts of nutrient inputs. An additional aspect of study was to determine the prevalence of “acid zones” in tropical seagrasses. The

Abstract:

Seagrass beds are among the most ecologically important systems in the marine environment. They provide the primary production to nearby coral reef and mangrove communities, and seagrasses comprise a large component of the diets of many marine organisms including fishes, small invertebrate species, and many protected species such as manatees and sea turtles. This consumption provides a pathway for many contaminants to enter the marine food web via the seagrasses. The coastal location of seagrass beds causes them to be especially susceptible to anthropogenic pollution, including accumulation of

Abstract:

Since the Industrial Revolution, coastal pollution has increased and seagrasses, together with other vegetated coastal ecosystems (VCEs), have been identified as potentially important filters and sinks of pollutants, such as CO2 and heavy metals. VCEs can accumulate materials in their soils for millennia reducing their abundance in the surrounding environment. However, VCEs are among the most threatened ecosystems on Earth, putting at risk their ecological services. This dissertation aims to understand the role of VCEs, particularly seagrasses, as environmental archives and biogeochemical sink

Abstract:

Seagrass meadows in south-western Australia exist along a gradient of hydrodynamic disturbance and may be subjected to varying degrees of sediment movement leading to burial and erosion. Such disturbance may play a role in structuring seagrass assemblages and has contributed to the failure of some attempts at seagrass restoration in the region. The seagrasses in south-western Australia occur in a microtidal environment dominated by swell waves, locally generated wind waves and oscillatory currents. This poses challenges not experienced or studied in environments of the northern hemisphere wher

Abstract:

The ongoing threat of seagrass loss from reduced light availability, coupled with our lack of knowledge of associated trophic responses has motivated this characterization of the flow-on effects of light reductions to Amphibolis griffithii seagrass fauna. Recently, field manipulations of varying light reductions, induced disturbances in a A. griffithii seagrass meadow that have been shown to effect potential food resources and the structural complexity of seagrass habitats for macroinvertebrates. This offered the opportunity to assess the flow-on effects to seagrass for fauna, a topic that h
