Photo-acclimatory thresholds anticipate sudden shifts in seagrass ecosystem state under reduced light conditions

L. Marin-Guirao et al.

Summary: Seagrass ecosystems respond non-linearly to increasing pressures and environmental changes. Feedback mechanisms and phenotypic plasticity play important roles in buffering ecological thresholds. This study demonstrates the non-linear responses of seagrass populations to light reduction and highlights the potential of using compensatory responses as early warning indicators for ecosystem collapse.

Growth and Photoacclimation Strategies of Three Zostera Species Along a Vertical Gradient: Implications for Seagrass Zonation Patterns

Sang Rul Park et al.

Summary: Seagrasses in East Asia exhibit vertical zonation patterns from intertidal to subtidal zones based on depth distributions of Zostera species. Variations in physiological responses, morphological traits, and meadows architecture of these species likely explain the observed patterns.

Depth distribution of canopy-forming algae of the order Fucales is related to their photosynthetic features

Natalia Sant et al.

Summary: Photosynthetic features and dark respiration of different dominant canopy-forming algae species of the Order Fucales consistently change with depth, with deep-water species showing higher photosynthesis at saturation and lower dark respiration than shallow water ones. This contrasts with the expected reduction of P-max in low light environments shown by terrestrial plants and suggests that P-max and alpha show the same trend of variation in the marine environment.
