Experiment on seagrass (Zostera marina) response to chronically elevated temperature: nutrients in benthocosms

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. […]

本研究针对波罗的海西部基尔峡湾（Kiel Fijord）的常见海草大叶藻（Zostera marina），采用室外中型实验生态系统（mesocosms），模拟了2015年12月至2016年8月（覆盖冬季至夏季）的9个月增温情景。实验全程设置两组处理方案：常温组（Ambient）与常温增温3.6℃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。[…]
