Carbon and nitrogen translocation between seagrass ramets

The spatial scale and the magnitude of carbon and nitrogen translocation was examined in 5 tropical (Cymodocea serrulata,Halophila stipulacea,Halodule uninervis,Thalassodendron ciliatum,Thalassia hemprichii) and 3 temperate (Cymodocea nodosa,Posidonia oceanica,Zostera noltii) seagrass species using1...

Summary:The spatial scale and the magnitude of carbon and nitrogen translocation was examined in 5 tropical (Cymodocea serrulata,Halophila stipulacea,Halodule uninervis,Thalassodendron ciliatum,Thalassia hemprichii) and 3 temperate (Cymodocea nodosa,Posidonia oceanica,Zostera noltii) seagrass species using13Carbon (13C) and15Nitrogen (15N) as tracers in experiments conductedin situ. Seagrass leaf and rhizome production during the study period varied from
