Surface chemical defence of the eelgrass Zostera marina against microbial foulers
Scientific Reports, 2019 Plants rely on both mechanical and chemical defence mechanisms to protect their surfaces against microorganisms. The recently completed genome of the eelgrass Zostera marina, a marine angiosperm with fundamental importance for coastal ecosystems, showed ...

The light requirements for growth and photosynthesis in seagrasses with emphasis on Texas estuaries : a literature survey [PDF]
, 1993 During the last 20 years, seagrass communities throughout the world have experienced decreased productivity and distribution. These declines have often been attributed to decreased water transparency as a result of turbidity or shading by epiphytic algae.

Impacts of 'Zostera' eelgrasses on microbial community structure in San Diego coastal waters
Elementa: Science of the Anthropocene, 2019 Marine eelgrasses are influential to their surrounding environments through their many ecosystem services, ranging from the provisioning of food and shelter for marine life to serving as a natural defense against pollution and pathogenic bacteria. In the

Major impacts and societal costs of seagrass loss on sediment carbon and nitrogen stocks
Ecosphere, 2021 Seagrass meadows constitute important carbon sinks, and the ongoing global loss of seagrass habitats raises concerns about the release of carbon stored in their sediments.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Introduction Restoring coral reefs through larval enhancement has the potential to scale interventions beyond experimental plots of tens of m2. However, the effectiveness of releasing larvae without confinement (“free release”) remains untested.
