Zusammenfassung: | On the shallow coral shelves of Yap, the distribution of
Cymodocea rotundata Ehrenb. & Aschers.,
Thalassia hemprichii (Ehrenb.) Aschers. and
Enhalus acoroides (L.) Royle reflects their tolerance of low tide conditions that include mid-day water temperatures exceeding 40°C and water salinity during heavy rains to 2‰. The restriction of
Cyamodocea serrulata (R.Br.) Aschers. & Magnus and
Syringodium isoetifolium (Aschers.) Dandy to deeper sites reflects less tolerance to low tide conditions. |
