The Role of <i>Cymodocea nodosa</i> and <i>Caulerpa prolifera</i> Meadows as Nitrogen Sinks in Temperate Coastal Lagoons

In coastal lagoons, marine benthic macrophyte meadows can be an important element in the resistance to eutrophication of the ecosystem, as they can function as temporary nitrogen sinks, limiting the availability of this nutrient for opportunistic organisms. The role of nitrogen sinks for two dominan...
