Spatial patterns of seagrass dispersal and settlement

Primary tabs

Grech, Alana [Department of Environmental Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia] Wolter, Jolan [UCL] Coles, Rob [TropWATER,James Cook University, Australia] McKenzie, Len [TropWATER, James Cook University, Australia] Rasheed, Michael [TropWATER, James Cook University, Australia] Thomas, Christopher [UCL] Hanert, Emmanuel [UCL]

The movement of propagules among plant populations affects their ability to replenish and recover after a disturbance. Quantitative data on recovery strategies, including the effectiveness of population connectivity, are often lacking at broad spatial and temporal scales. We use numerical modelling to predict seagrass propagule dispersal and settlement to provide an approach for circumstances where direct, or even indirect, measures of population dynamics are difficult to establish.
