Optimizing seagrass planting arrangements for animal benefits in a multihabitat restoration seascape
Abstract Restoring lost and degraded ecosystems to enhance biodiversity and ecosystem services is a global priority, and animal responses to the restoration of habitats are a critical but undervalued component. Identifying the key drivers of animal colonization in restored habitats provides critical insights for restoration practitioners seeking to ...

Wasting Disease of Eelgrass (Zostera marina) [PDF]
IN NATURE of December 30, 1933, a letter appeared on the disease of the eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Danish waters based on investigations which I made in the summer of 1933. I am now able to give further details concerning this disease. The destruction of the leaves was continued during the winter, but young shoots formed in the early spring were ...

Macroalgae and Eelgrass Mapping in Great Bay Estuary Using AISA Hyperspectral Imagery. [PDF]
Results Increases in nitrogen concentration and declining eelgrass beds in Great Bay Estuary have been observed in the last decades. These two parameters are clear indicators of the impending eutrophication for New Hampshire’s estuaries.

Century‐scale resilience of stored seagrass blue carbon
Abstract Blue carbon sequestration in coastal ecosystems is only relevant to climate change mitigation and carbon offset crediting if the carbon is taken out of circulation for at least a century. Here, we examined sediment cores, up to 2.2 m deep, collected in modern Zostera marina seagrass meadows in Mid‐Atlantic lagoons in Virginia, USA.

Mesocosm experiments quantify the effects of eutrophication on eelgrass, Zostera marina [PDF]
Outdoor mesocosm experiments were used to examine the response of eelgrass communities to excess nutrient loading and reduced light that simulated coastal eutrophication.

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a keystone component of inter- and sub-tidal ecosystems. However, anthropogenic pressures have caused its populations to decline worldwide. Delineation and continuous monitoring of eelgrass distribution is an integral part of

Abstract As nations seek to expand protected area (PA) networks to cover 30% of land and seas by 2030 (30×30), there is an urgent need for systematic conservation planning and spatial prioritization that considers the broad range of ecological and socioeconomic factors influencing the persistence of biodiversity.
