Summary In coastal and estuarine systems, foundation species like seagrasses, mangroves, saltmarshes or corals provide important ecosystem services. Seagrasses are globally declining their reintroduction has been shown to restore functions. However, seagrass restoration is often challenging, given the dynamic stressful environment that seagrasses grow in. From our world‐wide meta‐analysis of trials (1786 trials), we describe general features best practice for restoration. We confirm removal...
Global seagrass losses parallel significant declines observed in corals and mangroves over the past 50 years. These combined have resulted accelerated global to ecosystem services coastal waters. Seagrass meadows can be extensive (hundreds of square kilometers) long-lived (thousands years), with persisting predominantly through vegetative (clonal) growth. They also invest a large amount energy sexual reproduction. In this article, we explore role that reproduction, pollen, seed dispersal...
We investigated whether leaf dark respiration (nonphotorespiratory mitochondrial CO2 release) is inhibited by light in several Poa species, and differences inhibition between the species are related to rate of net photosynthesis. Four lowland (Poa annua L., compressa pratensis trivialis L.), one subalpine alpina two alpine costiniana Vick. fawcettiae Vick.) differing whole plant relative growth rates were grown under identical controlled conditions. Nonphotorespiratory release (Rd) was...

Abstract Background and aims Southwest Australia is a biodiversity hotspot, with greatest plant species diversity on the most severely phosphorus (P)-impoverished soils. Here, non-mycorrhizal highly-effective carboxylate-releasing P-acquisition strategies coexist mycorrhizal that are less effective at accessing P these Non-mycorrhizal facilitate acquisition of neighbours better defended against pathogens. In Australian Biodiversity Hotspot, there also ‘cool spots’ low-diversity tall...
Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum cv Chinese Spring) supplied with 0.45 mM SO42- for 14 d relative growth rates (RGR) of 0.22 to 0.24 d-1 was deprived S 7 8 d. There no significant effect on RGR or leaf development (leaf 2 length constant; 3 expanded 2–4 d; 4 emerged and elongated throughout the experiment) during deprivation. In controls net assimilation rate (A) closely reflected ontogeny. deprivation affected A in all leaves, particularly 4, which remained at 10 [mu]mol CO2 m-2 s-1,...
Abstract Seeds of the seagrass Posidonia australis are desiccation sensitive and as there is no seed dormancy seeds cannot be stored for use in restoration projects. To realize potential seed‐based , this study investigated preconditioning seedlings aquaculture facilities before transplanting to extend window from a few weeks (for fresh seed) months or even years preconditioned seedlings). Here, we tested two levels organic matter addition, 0 1.5% sediment dry weight three types;...

Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have caused declines in many kelp forests globally. Although the ecological effects of these climatic extremes been well examined, studies on role genotypic variation underpinning population responses under pressures are lacking. Understanding how kelps respond to different warming profiles and, particular, intraspecific is necessary confidently anticipate future forests, yet this remains a critical knowledge gap for most species. This study examined early life stages...
