Temperature (Kenyon et al. 1997, Agawin et al. 2001),exposure time (Estacion and Fortes 1988, Erftemeijer and Herman 1994), turbulence (Agawin et al. 2001), turbidity (Kiswara et al. 2005, Thangaradjou and Kannan 2008), number of daylight hours (Estacion and Fortes 1988), total daily
photosynthetically active radiation (Agawin et al. 2001),nutrients (Terrados et al. 1999) and salinity (Thangaradjou and Kannan 2008) are all factors that affect the vegetative growth of E. acoroides. Reproductive output is influenced by light availability (Rollo´n et al. 2003) as are fragmentation and coverage of seagrass meadows (Vermaat et al. 2004).
Global climate change is reportedly one of the causes of seagrass decline in many places, which has promoted an awareness of the need to conserve seagrass ecosystems(Short and Neckles 1999, Orth et al. 2006). Furthermore,E. acoroides is a target species for restoration programs(Calumpong et al. 1996, Lawrence et al. 2007).
Only few such programs have been succesful. The aim of this study was to document the temporal variation in growth and reproduction of E. acoroides in relation to environmental factors:
water temperature, salinity and duration of exposure to air.
The results provide baseline information for the seagrass
ecosystem in the region and may help restoration projects.
