USE OF LANDSAT-8 OLI IMAGERY AND LOCAL INDIGENOUS KNOWLEDGE FOR EELGRASS MAPPING IN EEYOU ISTCHEE [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 The eastern coastline of James Bay (Eeyou Istchee) is known to be home to beds of subarctic eelgrass (Zostera marina L.). These eelgrass beds provide valuable habitat and food source for coastal and marine animals and contribute valuable ecosystem ...

Spatial and economic quantification of provisioning service by eelgrass beds in Lake Notoro, Hokkaido, Japan [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEelgrass beds provide a habitat for many high-value fishery resources, and provisioning services, one of the ecosystem services, need to be quantified. However, few examples have been evaluated spatially.

NO enhances the adaptability to high-salt environments by regulating osmotic balance, antioxidant defense, and ion homeostasis in eelgrass based on transcriptome and metabolome analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceIntroductionEelgrass is a typical marine angiosperm that exhibits strong adaptability to high-salt environments. Previous studies have shown that various growth and physiological indicators were significantly affected after the nitrate reductase (NR ...

Combined transcriptome and proteome analysis reveal the key physiological processes in seed germination stimulated by decreased salinity in the seagrass Zostera marina L. [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Zostera marina L., or eelgrass, is the most widespread seagrass species throughout the temperate northern hemisphere. Unlike the dry seeds of terrestrial plants, eelgrass seeds must survive in water, and salinity is the key factor influencing ...

Open-Coast Eelgrass (<i>Zostera marina)</i> Transplant Catalyzes Rapid Mirroring of Structure and Function of Extant Eelgrasses. [PDF]
Estuaries CoastAbstract Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that function as ecosystem engineers, forming complex structure that enhance nearshore environments. Globally, seagrass habitats are threatened by intensifying impacts from climate change, which exacerbate non-climatic stressors such as coastal development, invasive species, and overfishing ...

Predicting the response of a long‐distance migrant to changing environmental conditions in winter [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionAccess to high‐quality food is critical for long‐distance migrants to provide energy for migration and arrival at breeding grounds in good condition. We studied effects of changing abundance and availability of a marine food, common eelgrass (Zostera ...

Restoration of eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Estonian coastal waters, Baltic Sea [PDF]
Proceedings of the Estonian Academy of Sciences, 2023 Seagrass meadows are facing structural degradation worldwide, losing both area and biodiversity. Habitat restoration could reverse this degradation, but so far, the success rate of seagrass restoration has been low.

Response of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to an adjacent Olympia oyster restoration project.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Recent restoration efforts for the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, are commonly motivated by potential return of oyster-associated ecosystem services, including increased water filtration. The potential impact of such restoration on another species

Using Acoustics to Determine Eelgrass Bed Distribution and to Assess the Seasonal Variation of Ecosystem Service. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Eelgrass beds are an important source of primary production in coastal ecosystems. Understanding seasonal variation in the abundance and distribution of eelgrass is important for conservation, and the objectives of this study were to 1) monitor seasonal ...
