Unravelling the Spatial and Temporal Plasticity of Eelgrass Meadows [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The phenotypic plasticity of seagrasses enables them to adapt to changes in environmental conditions and withstand or recover from disturbance. This plasticity was demonstrated in the large variation recorded throughout a suite of bioindicators measured within Zostera marina meadows around Wales and SW England, United Kingdom.

Accumulation of Trace Metal Elements (Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb) in Surface Sediment via Decomposed Seagrass Leaves: A Mesocosm Experiment Using Zostera marina L. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Accumulation of Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in the sediment of seagrass ecosystems was examined using mesocosm experiments containing Zostera marina (eelgrass) and reference pools. Lead was approximately 20-fold higher in the surface sediment in the eelgrass pool

A halo of reduced dinoflagellate abundances in and around eelgrass beds [PDF]

PeerJ, 2020
Seagrass beds provide a variety of ecosystem services, both within and outside the bounds of the habitat itself. Here we use environmental DNA (eDNA) amplicons to analyze a broad cross-section of taxa from ecological communities in and immediately ...

Habitat Model of Eelgrass in Danish Coastal Waters: Development, Validation and Management Perspectives

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
During the last century, eutrophication significantly reduced the depth distribution and density of the habitat forming eelgrass meadows (Zostera marina) in Danish coastal waters.

Refinements in Eelgrass Mapping at Tabusintac Bay (New Brunswick, Canada): A Comparison between Random Forest and the Maximum Likelihood Classifier: Raffinements de la cartographie de la zostère dans la baie de Tabusintac (Nouveau-Brunswick, Canada): une comparaison entre Random Forest et la méthode de classification par maximum de vraisemblance

Canadian Journal of Remote Sensing, 2020
Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) is a marine angiosperm plant that grows throughout coastal areas in Atlantic Canada. Eelgrass meadows provide numerous ecosystem services while they have been acknowledged as important habitats, their location, extent, and ...

Genetic structure and diversity of the seagrass Zostera marina along a steep environmental gradient, with implications for genetic monitoring

Frontiers in Climate, 2023
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is a foundation species in coastal zones in the northern hemisphere. Eelgrass is declining across its distribution, a trend likely to accelerate under climate change.

Restoring eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) habitats using a simple and effective transplanting technique.

PLoS ONE, 2014
Eelgrass beds in coastal waters of China have declined substantially over the past 30 years. In this study, a simple new transplanting technique was developed for eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) restoration.

Potential impacts of finfish aquaculture on eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds and possible monitoring metrics for management: a case study in Atlantic Canada [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) has been designated an Ecologically Significant Species in Atlantic Canada. The development and rapid expansion of netpen finfish aquaculture into sensitive coastal habitats has raised concerns about the impacts of finfish ...

On the edge: assessing fish habitat use across the boundary between Pacific oyster aquaculture and eelgrass in Willapa Bay, Washington, USA

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Estuaries are subject to diverse anthropogenic stressors, such as shellfish aquaculture, which involve extensive use of estuarine tidelands. Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas aquaculture is a century-old practice in US West Coast estuaries that ...

Effects of Seagrass Wasting Disease on Eelgrass Growth and Belowground Sugar in Natural Meadows

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem benefits but are at risk from disease. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a temperate species threatened by seagrass wasting disease (SWD), caused by the protist Labyrinthula zosterae.
