WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - Project 5.5.2 - Defining thresholds and indicators of primary producers - Seagrass pressure-response relationships - Experiment 2
Objectives of Project 5.5 are to: (1) determining the pressure:response relationships that relate the effects of dredging-generated sediments on tropical primary producers, (2) examine the pathways, rates and timeframes of recovery from impacts and; (3) identify and examine the effects of key environmental variables on the pressure:response relationships and recovery.
Specifically Experiment 2 will be studying "Effect of different intensity & duration of sediment deposition on seagrasses (Laboratory and Field Experiment)"
Cymodocea serrulata and Halodule uninervis seagrass species. Following worksheets in "Experiment 2 - Burial" spreadsheet:
- Biomass individual species
- Biomass all species combined
- Growth
- Morphology
- Nutrients
- Photophysiology
- Carbohydrates
