Spatial and temporal changes in non-structural carbohydrate reserves in eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) in Danish coastal waters

The spatial and seasonal changes of total non-structural carbohydrate (TNC) reserves in above- and belowground tissues in eelgrass (Zostera marina) were assessed at four different sampling sites in Danish waters...

Importance of within-shoot epiphyte distribution for the carbon budget of seagrasses: the example of Posidonia oceanica

To assess the effects of shading by epiphytes on the carbon balance of the seagrass Posidonia oceanica, we examined the patterns of within-shoot epiphyte abundance on leaves, and their variability with season and depth...
