Although there are major concerns world-wide on increased salinity in coastal estuaries, there is little quantitative information on the specific upper salinity tolerance of tropical and subtropical seagrass species. We examined seagrass hypersalinity tolerance under two scenarios: (1) when salinity is raised rapidly simulating a pulsed event, such as exposure to brine effluent, and (2) when salinity is raised slowly, characteristic of field conditions in shallow evaporative basins; the first in hydroponics (Experiments I and II) and the second in large mesocosms using intact sediment cores from the field (Experiment III). The three tropical seagrass species investigated in this study were highly tolerant of hypersaline conditions with a slow rate of salinity increase (1 psu d<sup>−1</sup>). None of the three species elicited total shoot mortality across the range of salinities examined (35–70 psu over 30 days exposures); representing in situ exposure ranges in Florida Bay, a shallow semi-enclosed subtropical lagoon with restricted circulation. Based on stress indicators, shoot decline, growth rates, and PAM florescence, all three species were able to tolerate salinities up to 55 psu, with <i>Thalassia testudinum</i> (60 psu) and <i>Halodule wrightii</i> (65 psu) eliciting a slightly higher salinity threshold than <i>Ruppia maritima</i> (55 psu). However, when salinity was pulsed, without a slow osmotic adjustment period, threshold levels dropped 20 psu to approximately 45 psu for <i>T. testudinum</i>. While we found these three seagrass species to be highly tolerant of high salinity, and conclude that hypersalinity probably does not solely cause seagrass dieoff events in Florida Bay, high salinity can modify carbon and O<sub>2</sub> balance in the plant, potentially affecting the long-term health of the seagrass community.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Tropical seagrass species tolerance to hypersalinity stress","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-14 01:31:13.750427","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"salinity; hypersalinity; seagrass; Thalassia testudimum Banks ex Konig;Halodule wrightii Aschers; Ruppia maritima; osmotic adjustment","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2007,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2020-10-22","DateCreate":"2007-02-06","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000243613200003","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1016/j.aquabot.2006.08.003"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":107406,"PubliDate":2007,"Pagination":"14-24","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"86","Issue":"1","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":42195,"SerRR":"Aquatic Botany.
