摘要

Abstract

Seagrass research in China is still in its infancy. Even though there has been progress recently

there is still a great deal of research needed to gain a better understanding of seagrass. In this article we review and discuss the advances in seagrass research in China from two aspects: (1) seagrass species and their distribution; (2) seagrass research in China

including studies on their taxonomy

ecology

photosynthesis

applications in aquaculture

salt-tolerance mechanisms and other research topics. A total of 18 seagrass species belonging to 8 genera are distributed in nine provinces and regions in China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan)

as well as the Xisha and Nansha Archipelagos. They can be divided into two groups: a North China Group and a South China Group. Based on the seagrass distribution

the Chinese mainland coast can be divided into three sections: North China Seagrass Coast

Middle China Seagrass Coast

and South China Seagrass Coast. Ecological studies include research on seagrass communities

nutrient cycling in seagrass ecosystems

genetic diversity

pollution ecology and research in the key regions of Shandong

Guangdong

Guangxi

and Hainan. Seagrass species and their locations

community structure

ecological evaluation

epiphytes

ecological functions and threats in the key regions are also summarized. Other studies have focused on remote sensing of seagrass

threatened seagrass species of China

and pollen morphology of Halophila ovalis.
