Sediment on Rocky Reefs:Effects on Early Post-Settlement Stages of Habitat-Forming Sargassum Horneri

摘要：

　　Modification of the coastal environment by human activities often leads to an increase in sedimentation of nearshore waters,with potential impacts on seaweeds.Here we assess the relationships between the levels of sedimentation,wave exposure and Sargassum homeri on rocky subtidal platforms around Gouqi island in China.We tested two sediment traps to provide a tool for measuring the relative abundance of sediment across sites.Using field and laboratory-based experiments,we tested hypotheses concerning whether different levels of sedimentation affected algal germling survival and algal zygote attachment.
