Trophic Implications Of Light Reductions For Amphibolis Griffithii Seagrass Fauna, Adam Gartner
Trophic Implications Of Light Reductions For Amphibolis Griffithii Seagrass Fauna, Adam Gartner
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
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 has seldom been examined. This study investigated the effects of different light reduction intensity (high: …
