Trophic ecology of macrofauna inhabiting seagrass litter accumulations is related to the pulses of dead leaves Universiteit Gent
Accumulation of exported macrophytodetritus (AEM) represent unique habitats formed by the dead material originating from macrophyte ecosystems (e.g., seagrass, kelp, other seaweeds). AEM can be found everywhere, from the littoral zone to the deepest canyons, and from high to low latitudes. Seagrass AEMs are among the most common detrital accumulations found in marine environments, and sometimes include macroalgae wrack that has been ripped from ...
