| 2000 | Impact of dugong grazing and turtle cropping on tropical seagrass communities. Pacif. Conserv. Biol. 5: 277-288. 3 tabs. 2 figs. –Elaborate simulations of leaf-cropping and rhizome removal in 2 seagrass beds in Australia's Great Barrier Reef region, extending over 1-13 months, showed that "herbivory" improved the structure and dynamics of these communities from the viewpoint of megaherbivores, by altering biomass, detritus volume, productivity, and species composition. Recovery occurred after several months to a year. | ||
