The atmospheric concentration of CO2 has been steeply increasing over the last 200 years, with an associated increase of total dissolved inorganic carbon (Ci) and a decrease of the oceans’ pH. Seagrasses are among the most productive marine ecosystems, but yet little is known on the effects of high-CO2/low pH on their photosynthetic physiology and the ecological consequences. Marine CO2 seepage areas have been ...
A complete understanding of the mechanistic basis of marine ecosystem functioning is only possible through integrative and interdisciplinary research.This enables the predictionof change and possibly the mitigation of the consequences ofanthropogenic impacts. One major aim of the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) Action ES0609 “Seagrasses productivity. From genes to ecosystem management,” is...
The marine angiosperm Zostera noltii (dwarf eelgrass), an important facilitator species and food source for invertebrates and waterfowl, predominantly inhabits intertidal habitats along eastern Atlantic shores from Mauritania to southern Norway/Kattegat Sea and throughout the Mediterranean, Black and Azov seas. We used 9 microsatellite loci to characterize population structure at a variety of spatial scales amo...
