Enhancement of sediment suspension and nutrient flux by benthic macrophytes at low biomass

ABSTRACT: In shallow coastal ecosystems where most of the seafloor typically lies within the photic zone, benthic autotrophs dominate primary production and mediate nutrient cycling and sediment stability. Because of their different structure and metabolic rates, the 2 functional groups of benthic m...
