Biomass-Cover Relationship for Eelgrass Meadows [PDF]
Estuaries and Coasts, 2015 Eelgrass meadows play key roles in coastal ecosystems, and the extent of the standing biomass is focal to address ecosystem functioning. Eelgrass cover is commonly assessed in marine monitoring programs while biomass sampling is destructive and expensive.

Progress in Fishery Sciences, 2023 An increase in water turbidity is one of the main factors underlying seagrass meadow degradation. The effect of different water turbidity levels [2 (control), 10, 20, 30, and 40 NTU] on the survival, growth and physiology of eelgrass (Zostera marina) was

Evidence of eelgrass (Zostera marina) seed dispersal by northern diamondback terrapin (Malaclemys terrapin terrapin) in lower Chesapeake Bay. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The initial discovery in May 2009 of eelgrass (Zostera marina) seeds in fecal samples of wild-caught northern diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin terrapin) was the first field evidence of eelgrass seed ingestion in this species.

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

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.

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 ...

Restoration and management of eelgrass (Zostera marina) on the west coast of Sweden [PDF]
, 2016 Since the 1980s over 60% of eelgrass (Zostera marina) habitats have been lost from the Swedish NW coast, resulting in significant losses of the valuable ecosystem services provided by these habitats.

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.
