Resumen: | This article presents the results from the long-term Water Framework Directive monitoring of Posidonia oceanica in the Valencian Community, Spain. A total of six areas where Posidonia occurs were studied. Locations were characterized by a different ecological condition: degraded Posidonia meadows; meadows in good conditions; meadows close to the best reference conditions. The spatiotemporal variability of different indicators were sampled from 2005 to 2017. Lower quality meadows are characterized by a lower density and coverage of Posidonia, a higher proportion of dead Posidonia, a higher proportion of plagiotropic rhizomes, smaller shoots, and higher epiphyte biomass, as well as the presence of foliar necrosis marks. For all study sites, the temporal trends indicated a decrease in the quality of the meadows from 2005 to 2011 and a recovery from 2012 to 2017. Some variability observed in the indicators such as P. oceanica cover in patchy meadows, could not be explained by changes in the meadow health. |
