Effects of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile (1813) Flowering on elemental components and on trace elements concentrations ; Belgique

Posidonia oceanica is a magniolophyte endemic to the Mediterranean Sea, in which flowering can vary depending on water temperature and nutrient concentration (C,N,P). Along corsican coast, in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea, the flowering was unusual but in the last 20 years it flowered regularly. The aim of our study was to determine the effect of the frequency of flowering episode on the shoots by measuring the dynamics of elementary (C, N, P) and the trace element contents (TE) in different tissues (leaves, inflorescences and rhizomes) of flowering and non-flowering shoots.
