Impacts of physical disturbance on ecosystem structure in subtropical seagrass meadows

Soil disturbance, a key contributor to physical degradation in seagrass ecosystems, can lead to long-term changes in ecosystem function. We used a chronosequence of vessel grounding disturbances of different ages (0 yr, 1 yr, 3 yr, 4 yr, 5+ yr) as a model for soil disturbance to test hypotheses that... View More
