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.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and the health and growth of eelgrass and the mass of oysters [PDF]

, 2018
Climate change is affecting the health and physiology of marine organisms and altering species interactions. Ocean acidification (OA) threatens calcifying organisms such as the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas.

An ancient eelgrass clone in the Baltic [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1999
We report that an eelgrass bed Zostera marina L. at the Aland Islands, northern Baltic Sea, is dominated by a. single genotype which extends over an area of approximately 160 x 40 m. In total, 47 individuals were sampled and genotyped for 6 highly polymorphic microsatellite loci.

Influence of Rising Water Temperature on the Temperate Seagrass Species Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) in the Northeast USA

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Sea surface temperature (SST) has increased worldwide since the beginning of the 20th century, a trend which is expected to continue. Changes in SST can have significant impacts on marine biota, including population-level shifts and alterations in ...

Changes in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) in the Little Narragansett Bay Estuary Between 2019 and 2022

Coasts
Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a native perennial marine angiosperm found in shallow bays and estuaries. Eelgrass beds are considered essential fish habitats and provide an important food source for marine organisms and waterfowl.

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.

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.

Intact coastal nursery rearing amid climate‐driven phenological shifts in threatened salmon

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Literature linking phenology to climate has proliferated in recent decades and shows that climate change has reorganized seasonal opportunities worldwide. However, this literature often quantifies changes in point measures of timing (e.g., beginnings and peaks) without context about duration (e.g., rearing season length) or performance (e.g ...
