Dynamics of Nutrients and Colored Dissolved Organic Matter Absorption in a Wetland-Influenced Subarctic Coastal Region of Northeastern Japan: Contributions From Mariculture and Eelgrass Meadows

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coastal oceans interacting with terrestrial ecosystems play an important role in biogeochemical cycles. It is therefore essential to research land–ocean interactions for further understanding of the processes influencing nutrients dynamics in coastal ...

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.

Sand-capping stabilizes muddy sediment and improves benthic light conditions in eutrophic estuaries: laboratory verification and the potential for recovery of eelgrass (Zostera marina)

Journal of Sea Research, 2021
Decades of eutrophication have increased water turbidity in Danish estuaries and led to light limitation of eelgrass (Zostera marina) growth. Former eelgrass areas are now denuded and consist of organic-rich muddy sediment with frequent resuspension ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Sedimentation in Eelgrass [PDF]

, 2015
Protection of coastal areas has been a major political issue over the last decades. The coastline is in many places eroded by waves and current, and mechanical structures have been build to prevent the erosion. The abundance of the ma- rine flowering plant eelgrass (Zostera marina) has decline over the last century because of natural and ...

Eelgrass Distribution in the Great Bay Estuary for 2009 : Final Report [PDF]

, 2008
Eelgrass in the Great Bay Estuary in 2009 was once again present only in Great Bay itself and in Portsmouth Harbor. For the second year in a row, there was no eelgrass in Little Bay or in the Piscataqua River.
