Posidonia oceanica
Reportedly, Posidonia oceanica has a tremendous capability to produce Oxygen by photosynthesis. Confirmed. Someone ought to have a look at it. Some references: Inversion of acoustic waveguide propagation features to measure oxygen synthesis by Posidonia oceanica High Net Primary Production … Continue reading
