Synthesizing seagrass models: application to ecological forecasts. Final report.

Abstract

The major goal of this project was to synthesize available information on the dynamics of seagrass landscapes in response to anthropogenic stressors and natural variability by reviewing models representing various aspects of seagrass ecosystems and to develop a comparative analysis of their required input data, their spatial and temporal scales of application, the metrics of their input and output, and the utility of the data (e.g., potential audience and types of management issues).
