Project IC7_I

Sedimentation impacts on photosynthetic performance and competitive success of marine macrophytes

Characterising physiological responses of marine macrophytes towards decreased light regimes caused by increased sediment loads were the initial aim of this project. Since seagrasses are the dominant native macrophytes on soft-sediment coasts (Hemminga and Duarte 2000) and as congener seagrass species populate the coasts of New Zealand and Germany it was decided to focus on the ecophysiology of seagrasses.
