Towards Ecologically Relevant Targets: Impact of flow and sediment discharge on seagrass communities in the Great Barrier Reef

Catchment degradation causing increased sediment flow is one of the key stressors facing Great Barrier Reef (GBR) habitats. Ecologically relevant targets (ERTs) for sediment and nutrient loads have been previously proposed based on seagrass light requirements, the next step is to connect these to ecological response. The overarching goal of the present work is to recommend preliminary thresholds that can be used in the development of more...
