Draft - WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - 5.5 - 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)"

5.5号项目的目标如下：(1) 明确疏浚产生的沉积物对热带初级生产者的影响所对应的压力-响应关系（pressure:response relationships）；(2) 探究受扰动影响后的恢复路径、恢复速率与恢复时限；(3) 识别并探究关键环境变量对上述压力-响应关系及恢复过程的影响。具体而言，**实验2**将开展“不同强度与时长的沉积物沉积对海草的影响（实验室与野外实验）”相关研究。
