文摘
- •
Effects of Caulerpa cylindracea were tested in seagrass and bare sediments.
- •
C. cylindracea significantly affected sedimentary organic C contents and turnover.
- •
Meiofauna varied significantly among invaded and not invaded bare sediments.
- •
Nematode α-diversity was not affected by the invasive algae.
- •
Nematode β-diversity was variably affected by the presence of the invasive algae.
