在所有的水生环境中，各种生物会迅速在可利用的表面上定居。如果这些生物生长在植物上，它们被称为附生植物。海草为附生生物提供了极好的基质，这些生物是海草生态系统的组成部分。海草附生植物的生态学和生理学以前已经综述过（Harlin，1980; Borowitzka和Lethbridge，1989），本章主要关注自那时以来我们对海草附生植物1生物学和生态学的理解的新发展。海草生长在从潮间带到50米以上深度的广泛栖息地（Long等人，1996年），从河口到海洋环境，从温带到热带。不同的海草属也表现出多样性的形态，从简单的钻形叶的丁香和带状叶的Cymod，
In all aquatic environments, available surfaces are rapidly colonized by a variety of organisms. If these organisms grow on plants they are called epiphytes. Seagrasses provide an excellent substratum for epiphytic organisms and these organisms are an integral component of seagrass ecosystems. The ecology and physiology of seagrass epiphytes have been reviewed previously (Harlin, 1980; Borowitzka and Lethbridge, 1989) and this chapter focuses primarily on new developments in our understanding of seagrass epiphyte1 biology and ecology that have occurred since then.Seagrasses grow in a wide range of habitats ranging from the intertidal to depths of over 50 m (Long et al., 1996), from estuarine to marine environments, and from temperate regions to the tropics. The different seagrass genera also show a diversity of morphologies ranging from the simple subulate leaves of Syringodium and the strap-shaped leaves of Cymod-
