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
