Alexandre and Santos 2020 Zm N uptake latitude and temperature

By combining latitudinal gradient analysis with laboratory responses to temperature manipulation, we showed that ocean warming will increase the nitrogen demand of the globally distributed seagrass Z. marina and this demand may be met by an increasing uptake of organic nitrogen forms, highlighting that Z. marina will be winner under global change conditions of increased temperature and CO2.

本研究通过整合纬度梯度分析与温度调控的实验室响应实验，证实海洋变暖将提升全球广布海草大叶藻（Zostera marina，Z. marina）的氮需求。该氮需求有望通过提升对有机氮形态的摄取量得到满足，研究结果同时表明，在温度升高与二氧化碳浓度升高的全球变化背景下，大叶藻将成为优势物种。
