分类组成、干扰敏感物种的存在和丰度是监测海洋被子植物状况的属性；根据水框架指令（WFD）评估环境条件所需的生物质量要素，描述了它们与定义英国水体生态状况的相关性以及为这些属性建立参考条件。在这些属性的定量测量的基础上，开发了一套指标，用于监测和评估唯一真正的海洋被子植物——海草。所提出的指标是针对英国各种滨海和亚滨海草床提出和测试的。它们结合起来表达了海洋被子植物对不同程度的人为干扰的累积反应。 (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Taxonomic composition, the presence of disturbance-sensitive species and abundance are attributes for monitoring the status of marine angiosperms; a biological quality element required for assessment of environmental condition under the Water Framework Directive (WFD), Their relevance for defining the ecological status of UK water bodies and the establishment of reference conditions for these attributes are described.Founded on quantitative measurements of these attributes, a set of metrics has been developed for monitoring and assessment of the only truly marine angiosperms, seagrass. The proposed metrics are presented and tested against a variety of littoral and sublittoral UK seagrass beds. In combination they express the cumulative response of marine angiosperms to different levels of anthropogenic disturbance. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
