In the effort to determine if hydrologic restoration in Knuthsen Meadow affects root abundance and soil moisture, we gathered preliminary data to determine the optimal experimental design and sample size necessary to detect a 25% increase in root biomass and soil moisture following restoration. We found high variability in root biomass, with upstream meadow reaches having substantially greater ...

The San Pedro del Pinatar I and II desalination plants in Spain were constructed near Posidonia oceanica meadows protected at the national European level. environmental impact statement for these stipulate that brine discharge from plant must not meadows. To this end, a 4790 m submerged outfall was to bypass lower limit of seagrass meadows, diffuser piece, along with an pumping system, installe...
