SO ENDS this first of two weekends on the return to aquatic life of some plants. This is akin to the journey that whales took, returning to the sea after leaving the sea for dry land, equally challenging both anatomically and metabolically. Evolution has numerous examples of similar reversals, classically, flightless birds. With an engine that generates constant diversity in search of a purpose, evolution has this ability sometimes to go one step forward and two steps back. View in LinkedIn

SALT TOXICITY. "Specific to marine environments, seagrasses are often exposed to high salt levels and short-term salinity fluctuations in the coastal and estuarine system. Increased levels of sodium (Na+) are known to be toxic, partly due to the fact that both Na+ and potassium (K+) have very similar physicochemical properties." http://bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2148-11-8 View in LinkedIn

NEW CHALLENGES. "Submergence also exposes organisms to the forces of wave action and tidal currents that effects reproductive functions and reduces the availability of carbon dioxide (CO2). Consequently, seagrasses have evolved to propagate via hydrophilous pollination and rely on carbonic acid and bicarbonate instead of CO2." http://bmcevolbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1471-2148-11-8 View in LinkedIn
