Experiment on seagrass (Zostera marina) response to chronically elevated temperature: growth characteristics@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. […]本研究以采自西波罗的海基尔峡湾（Kiel Fjord）的普通海草大叶藻（Zostera marina）为实验对象，于2015年12月至2016年8月（覆盖冬季至夏季，共计9个月）利用室外中宇宙系统（mesocosms）开展升温情景模拟实验。实验设置两组温度处理：常温组（Ambient）与升温3.6℃组（Heat，即Ambient + 3.6℃），该处理方案贯穿整个实验周期。研究将上述两种温度制度与该区域22年的温度平均值进行对比分析。[……]
