Ocean current patterns drive the worldwide colonization of eelgrass (Zostera marina)

Nature Plants, 2023
Currents are unique drivers of oceanic phylogeography and thus determine the distribution of marine coastal species, along with past glaciations and sea-level changes. Here we reconstruct the worldwide colonization history of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.),

Lessons learned from over thirty years of eelgrass restoration on the US West Coast

Ecosphere, 2023
Seagrass habitats, which provide essential ecosystem functions such as water quality improvement, biodiversity support, ocean acidification amelioration, and sediment carbon storage, are declining worldwide.

Capturing of organic carbon and nitrogen in eelgrass sediments of southern Scandinavia

Limnology and Oceanography, 2023
The ability of seagrass meadows to filter nutrients and capture and store CO2 and nutrients in the form of organic carbon (OC) and nitrogen (N) in their sediments may help to mitigate local eutrophication as well as climate change via meadow restoration ...

Rapid faunal colonization and recovery of biodiversity and functional diversity following eelgrass restoration

Restoration Ecology, 2023
Seagrass meadows and their associated biodiverse assemblages have declined globally due to environmental and anthropogenic stressors. Restoration of these critical habitats has the potential to reverse coastal biodiversity loss.

Management thresholds shift under the influence of multiple stressors: Eelgrass meadows as a case study

Conservation Letters, 2023
As human activities increase in intensity and extent, ecosystems face growing threats from multiple stressors. Successful management requires identifying measurable targets, which is challenging because of data limitations, nonlinear ecosystem responses,

Disease surveillance by artificial intelligence links eelgrass wasting disease to ocean warming across latitudes

Limnology and Oceanography, 2022
Ocean warming endangers coastal ecosystems through increased risk of infectious disease, yet detection, surveillance, and forecasting of marine diseases remain limited.

Fish community surveys in eelgrass beds using both eDNA metabarcoding and seining: implications for biodiversity monitoring in the coastal zone

Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2022
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been adopted globally as a tool to combat biodiversity loss and restore marine ecosystems. Successful application of MPAs will be predicated on the ability to monitor biodiversity in a synoptic and non-invasive manner ...

Coastal ecosystem engineers and their impact on sediment dynamics: Eelgrass–bivalve interactions under wave exposure

Limnology and Oceanography, 2022
Habitat forming ecosystem engineers play critical roles in structuring coastal seascapes. Many ecosystem engineers, such as seagrasses and epifaunal bivalves, are known to have positive effects on sediment stability and increase coastal protection and ...

Improved benthic fauna community parameters after large-scale eelgrass (Zostera marina) restoration in Horsens Fjord, Denmark

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2022
: Eutrophication is a key driver in the loss of marine ecosystems, and seagrass meadows are among the many ecosystems which have declined globally during the last decades.

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 ...
