Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Amanipulative field experimentwas designed to investigate the effects of sediment-nutrients and sediment-organicmatterson seagrasses, Zostera japonica, using individual and population indicators. The results showed thatseagrasses quickly responded to sediment-nutrient and organicmatter loading. That is, sediment-nutrients positivelyimpacted on seagrasses by increasing N content of leaves and roots, leaf length and belowground biomass.Sediment-organic matter loading lowered N content of seagrass leaves and belowground biomass. Negative effectsof organic matter loadingwere aggravated during nutrient loading, by decreasing Ncontent of leaves, P contentof roots, leafwidth, shoot number in the middle period of the experiment, increasing C/N ratio of leaves, C/Pand N/P ratio of roots and above to belowground biomass ratio of seagrasses. Consequently, Z. japonica could beconsidered as a fast indicator to monitor seagrass ecosystem status in the eutrophic areas and facilitate tointerpreting the response of seagrasses to multiple stressors. |
