Abstract:The present study investigates the impacts of low pH on the cell structure of the seagrasses Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile and Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Ascherson. The study was applied with in situ experiments at the Castello Aragonese of Ischia (Naples, Italy), where shallow submarine vents, lowering the pH, can be used as natural laboratories. Shoots of the seagrasses were transferred from the control area (pH 8.1) to the two venting areas (pH 7.8 and 6.8) for different times. Epidermal cells of young leave… Show more
