Redefining blue carbon with adaptive valuation for global policy
2024, Science of the Total EnvironmentCommunity-based monitoring detects catastrophic earthquake and tsunami impacts on seagrass beds in the Solomon Islands
2020, Marine Pollution BulletinCitation Excerpt :This is in direct contrast to studies in Thailand where seagrass beds in all areas hit by a tsunami were able to survive and regain previous levels within a year without replanting (Tanyaros and Crookall, 2011). Seagrass meadows are dynamic (Short and Wyllie-Echeverria, 1996) often changing on an interannual basis and seagrass loss can be reversed following improvements in water quality (e.g. Preen and Marsh, 1995; Tomasko et al., 2005). This slower response and recovery of the seagrass beds on Tetepare and Rendova may be due to the additive effects of variable water depth due to subsidence, hydrodynamics or currents; increased turbidity affecting light levels; physical wave action and possibly other environmental effects such as high rainfall events.

2016, Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf ScienceEvidence of nutrient partitioning in coexisting deep-sea echinoids, and seasonal dietary shifts in seasonal breeders: Perspectives from stable isotope analyses
2016, Progress in OceanographyCitation Excerpt :In marine benthic food webs trophic enrichment steps were established at 3–3.8‰ and 1‰ shift for δ15N and δ13C, respectively (Hobson and Welch, 1992; Sherwood and Rose, 2005). Shifts in δ15N signatures are particularly useful in trophic positioning and δ13C signatures are most useful in identifying the food source in an organism’s diet (Suchanek et al., 1985; Mincks et al., 2008; van Oevelen et al., 2009). SIA can also provide a time-integrated measure of feeding history (Vander Zanden and Rasmussen, 2001; Tomas et al., 2006).
