Seed bank dynamics and quality in the seagrass Halophila ovalis along estuarine salinity gradients—a case in the Swan-Canning Estuary

The seed bank of Halophila ovalis is crucial for resilience to disturbance through re-establishment. Understanding seasonal changes in abundance and quality of seeds in natural seed banks is critical for seed-based restoration. We selected an estuary in southwestern Australia and investigated the se...
