EELGRASS MAPPING IN ATLANTIC CANADA USING WORLDVIEW-2 IMAGERY [PDF]

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

Variation in seed traits among different eelgrass populations in China

Global Ecology and Conservation
Sexual reproduction plays a crucial role in eelgrass population recruitment. Their seeds are important sexual reproduction organs and seed traits influence the maintenance and extension of eelgrass populations.

Edge of Eden: Epifaunal Biodiversity of Eelgrass Patches in False Bay

, 2021
The epifaunal community of an eelgrass patch is biodiverse and affected by multiple variables. The mechanism of edge effects in the marine environment remains uncertain and experiments investigating the relationship between epifauna and edge proximity ...

Eelgrass Correlation to Pseudo-nitzschia Population [PDF]

, 2022
Within an ecosystem, eelgrass beds are critical for many species, filtering runoff, protecting from shore erosion, and storing or absorbing excess nutrients and greenhouse gases. Eelgrass is also a nursery or home for many aquatic species.

Combined transcriptome and proteome analysis reveal the key physiological processes in seed germination stimulated by decreased salinity in the seagrass Zostera marina L.

BMC Plant Biology, 2023
Background Zostera marina L., or eelgrass, is the most widespread seagrass species throughout the temperate northern hemisphere. Unlike the dry seeds of terrestrial plants, eelgrass seeds must survive in water, and salinity is the key factor influencing ...

Historical case study of a transfer experiment that demonstrated the importance of the estuarine ecosystem for the survival of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) at the Campbell River estuary, British Columbia, Canada

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Estuary dependence to the survival of Chinook salmon was investigated at the Campbell River estuary, British Columbia, Canada. Replicate batches of marked smolts were transferred from a hatchery and released in 1983, 1984 and 1985 at four ecosystems, two that ensured estuarine experience (river, estuary) and two seawards of the estuary ...

Improving seed‐based restoration in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in combined aquarium and field experiments

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seagrass restoration efforts are being implemented globally to accelerate the slow natural recolonization success. Among the various existing methods, seed‐based approaches offer the greatest scalability for species like Zostera marina, yet these methods remain undeveloped for a number of sub‐tidal systems like the Baltic Sea ...

Inundation and Sediment Supply Predict Annual but Not Centennial Carbon Accumulation in Tidal Wetlands Across Land‐Use Types

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Despite growing interest in the contributions of tidal wetlands to natural climate solutions, data remain scarce on how land use affects their carbon accumulation rates (CAR). Additionally, environmental factors driving the large observed variability in CAR among sites are poorly understood.

Modulation of the Eelgrass – Labyrinthula zosterae Interaction Under Predicted Ocean Warming, Salinity Change and Light Limitation

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Marine infectious diseases can have large-scale impacts when they affect foundation species such as seagrasses and corals. Interactions between host and disease, in turn, may be modulated by multiple perturbations associated with global change. A case in
