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 ...

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 patterns and predictor variables vary among different types of primary producers and consumers in eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Eelgrass (Zostera marina) forms extensive beds in coastal and estuarine environments and provides various ecosystem functions. The aboveground part of eelgrass provides habitats for other types of primary producers such as epiphytic microalgae and for ...

Eelgrass detritus as a food source for the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus Selenka (Echinidermata: Holothuroidea) in coastal waters of North China: an experimental study in flow-through systems. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Eelgrass ecosystems have a wide variety of ecological functions in which living tissues and detritus may be a food source for many marine animals. In this study, we conducted a laboratory simulating experiment to understand the trophic relationship ...

Role of nitric oxide in response to high salinity in eelgrass
Current Plant Biology, 2023 Nitric oxide (NO) is an essential molecule for plants, and we have found that NO is mainly synthesized by the nitrate reductase (NR) pathway in eelgrass.

Warming northward shifting southern limits of the iconic temperate seagrass (Zostera marina)
iScience, 2022 Summary: Global warming can shift the range edges of numerous species poleward. Here, eelgrass distribution was reinvestigated at its southern limits on the eastern coast of China, which indicated that there has been a northward shift in the southern ...
