Blue Carbon Storage Capacity of Temperate Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Meadows

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, 2018
Despite the importance of coastal ecosystems for the global carbon budgets, knowledge of their carbon storage capacity and the factors driving variability in storage capacity is still limited.

Diversity and Composition of Microbial Communities in an Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Bed in Tokyo Bay, Japan

open access: yesMicrobes and Environments, 2021
Zostera marina (eelgrass) is a widespread seagrass species that forms diverse and productive habitats along coast lines throughout much of the northern hemisphere. The present study investigated the microbial consortia of Z. marina growing at Futtsu clam-

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

open access: yesCoasts
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.

Variation in seed traits among different eelgrass populations in China

open access: yesGlobal 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.

Nitrogen fixation in restored eelgrass meadows [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 2012
Biological nitrogen (N2) fixation is the primary input of new nitrogen (N) to marine systems, and is important in meeting the N demands of primary producers. In this study, we deter- mined whether restoration of the eelgrass Zostera marina L. in a shallow coastal bay facilitated increasing rates of N2 fixation as the meadows aged.

Mapping and Quantification of the Dwarf Eelgrass Zostera noltei Using a Random Forest Algorithm on a SPOT 7 Satellite Image

open access: yesISPRS Int. J. Geo Inf., 2021
The dwarf eelgrass Zostera noltei Hornemann (Z. noltei) is the most dominant seagrass in semi-enclosed coastal systems of the Atlantic coast of Morocco.

Biotic dispersal in eelgrass Zostera marina [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 2012
Dispersal is a critical process in the life history of nearly all plant species and can be facili - tated by both abiotic and biotic mechanisms. Despite an abundance of vertebrate fauna utilizing seagrass meadows as a feeding area and thus capable of consuming and excreting seeds, little work has been conducted on biotic seed dispersal mechanisms.

EeLISA: Combating Global Warming Through the Rapid Analysis of Eelgrass Wasting Disease

open access: yesAAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2021
Global warming is the greatest threat facing our planet, and is causing environmental disturbance at an unprecedented scale. We are strongly positioned to leverage the advancements of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) which provide ...

Ammonium toxicity in eelgrass Zostera marina [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 1997
Seagrasses are declining all over the world, resulting in a substantial loss of biodiversity, coastal sediment stabilization and nursery areas of economically important fish. The seagrass decline has often been associated with increasing eutrophication of coastal areas. We tested possible toxic effects of high nitrogen concentrations in the water layer

Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...
