Abstract :

[en] The aim of this chapter is to place emphasis on the dynamics of Posidonia systems in order to detect key ecosystem processes and to put in evidence the large differences between the Mediterranean and Australian systems. These key processes shall be the basis to formulate new working hypothesis in order to verify newly emerging concepts and propose management plans in order to ensure the sustainability of the system.
