Experiment on seagrass (Zostera marina) response to chronically elevated temperature: shoots abundance and reproduction@en

This study simulated a 9-months warming scenario on the common seagrass Zostera marina from winter into summer (December 2015 - August 2016) in the Western Baltic Sea (Kiel Fijord), using outdoor mesocosms. Two treatments were applied: Ambient temperature regime (Ambient) and Ambient + 3.6C (Heat) over the entire course of the experiment. Temperature regimes were compared to the 22-year temperature average in the area. […]本研究于波罗的海西部基尔峡湾（Kiel Fjord），利用室外中型实验生态系统（outdoor mesocosms），针对普通海草鳗草（Zostera marina）模拟了2015年12月至2016年8月、为期9个月的从冬季至夏季的增温情景。实验设置两组处理方式：全程维持原位温度制度的对照组（Ambient），以及在原位温度基础上升高3.6℃的增温组（Heat）。研究将两组温度制度与该区域22年的温度平均值进行对比分析。[…]
