Large-scale erosion driven by intertidal eelgrass loss in an estuarine environment

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2020
Seagrasses influence local hydrodynamics by inducing drag on the flow and dampening near-bed velocities and wave energy. When seagrasses are lost, near-bed currents and wave energy can increase, which enhances bottom shear stresses, destabilizes sediment,

Growth and age differences between two male alternative reproductive tactics in the plainfin midshipman

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The plainfin midshipman (Porichthys notatus Girard, 1854) is a toadfish with two distinct reproductive male tactics: ‘guarder males’ and ‘sneaker males’. These two tactics are anatomically, physiologically and behaviourally distinct from one another at sexual maturity, but it remained unclear whether these two male types remain fixed or ...

A Method for Calculating the Area of Zostera marina Leaves from Digital Images with Noise Induced by Humidity Content

The Scientific World Journal, 2014
Despite the ecological importance of eelgrass, nowadays anthropogenic influences have produced deleterious effects in many meadows worldwide. Transplantation plots are commonly used as a feasible remediation scheme.

Benthic fauna dynamics following large‐scale seagrass restoration in an exposed environment

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature‐based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales

A Synthesis of Blue Carbon Stocks, Sources, and Accumulation Rates in Eelgrass (Zostera marina) Meadows in the Northeast Pacific

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, 2020
There is increasing urgency to implement climate change mitigation strategies that enhance greenhouse gas removal from the atmosphere and reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.

Enhancing restoration of a generalist seagrass: seed processing and germination improvements for Ruppia maritima

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Seagrass meadows, composed of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV), are changing due to climate change, increasing the need for adaptive restoration approaches such as incorporating native species that thrive under new environmental regimes.

A blessing or a curse: Responses of eelgrass (Zostera marina) seedlings to combined stressors of nutrients, hypoxia and sulfide

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Eelgass (Zostera marina) beds have many functions; however, eelgrass populations have declined in recent decades. Thus, it is important to recover eelgrass populations.

Nitrogen uptake and internal recycling in Zostera marina exposed to oyster farming: eelgrass potential as a natural biofilter [PDF]

, 2016
Oyster farming in estuaries and coastal lagoons frequently overlaps with the distribution of seagrass meadows, yet there are few studies on how this aquaculture practice affects seagrass physiology.

Interspecific facilitation, elevation, and site influence survival and growth for intertidal Ostrea angasi restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The flat oyster Ostrea angasi previously formed extensive reefs throughout temperate regions of Australia. These reefs were overharvested and destroyed after European colonization and have been functionally extinct for >150 years. While large‐scale subtidal O.

Eelgrass Distribution in the Great Bay Estuary and Piscataqua River for 2017 [PDF]

, 2018
Eelgrass distribution in Great Bay, Little Bay, and the Piscataqua River Estuary was mapped from aerial photography acquired on August 24, 2017. The total area of eelgrass beds with 10% or greater cover and a polygon area equal to or greater than 100 ...
