Highly Disturbed Populations of Seagrass Show Increased Resilience but Lower Genotypic Diversity.

Overall, these relationships were close to being significant (multivariate linear regression: p = 0.053).

Although a majority of previous studies examining seagrass responses to stressors show a positive trend of higher diversity providing a greater capacity to resist or recover ( Jahnke et al., 2015 ; Salo and Gustafsson, 2016 ), there are two examples that also show a negative relationship between genotypic diversity and the resilience of seagrass to disturbance ( Diaz-Almela et al., 2007 ; Arnaud-Haond et al., 2010 ).

Genotypic diversity also showed a negative trend with two morphological characteristics known to confer resilience on seagrass in Moreton Bay, leaf chlorophyll concentrations and seagrass biomass.
