This text explores the spatial variation and seasonality in growth and reproduction of "Enhalus acoroides" (L.f.) Royle populations in the coastal waters off Cape Bolinao, NW Phillipines.

Preface Chapter 1 General introduction Chapter 2 Characterization of the environmental conditions at the selected study sites: seagrass habitats of Bolinao, NW Philippines Chapter 3 Spatio-temporal variation in shoot size and leaf growth of the two dominant Philippine seagrasses Enhalus acoroides (L.f.) Royle and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb.) Aschers. Chapter 4 Recolonization in a multi-species seagrass meadow: the contrasting strategies of the two dominant species Enhalus acoroides (L.f.) Royle and Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb.) Aschers. Chapter 5 Factors affecting the spatio-temporal vanatton in the sexual reproduction in Enhalus acoroides (L.f.) Royle Chapter 6 The effects of sediment type, shading and nutrient addition on the survival, morphometrics and biomass of Enhalus acoroides (L.f.) Royle seedlings Chapter 7 On the survival, morphology and growth of the mature stands of Enhalus acoroides (L.f.) Royle: in situ imposed shading and transplantation experiments Chapter 8 General discussion and conclusions: the primary importance of light availability on the biology of Enhalus acoroides (L.f.) Royle SummarySa laktud Curriculum vitae
