Functioning of Philippine Seagrass Species Under Deteriorating Light Conditions by W.H. Uy, ISBN 9789054104285

Publisher Description:
Industrialization, urbanization and agricultural intensification result in increased sediment loading and eutrophication of SE Asian coastal waters and associated deterioration of light availability to seagrasses inhabiting coastal water.;This work presents the results of a study. Different (internal and external) factors affecting the capacity of seagrasses to persist under long-term light reduction were studied in a series of field and laboratory experiments in Southern Philippines.
