Effects of the American oyster Crassostrea virginica on growth rates of the seagrass Halodule wrightii [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2009 American oysters Crassostrea virginica have significant effects on ecosystem structure and function and may potentially determine whether coastal systems are dominated by either benthic or pelagic primary production. Field experiments were used to determine the effect of oyster density on the abundance and growth rate of shoalgrass Halodule wrightii in

Field verification of a light-driven model of biomass changes in the seagrass Halodule wrightii [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2001 Underwater irradiance has frequently been cited as one of the most important, if not dominant, factors that regulates the distribution and productivity of seagrasses. Here we test that hypothesis in the development of a model to predict changes in the biomass of the seagrass Halodule wrightii Aschers based on the assumption that light is the dominant ...

Scientometric approach to the scientific trends in articles on seagrass in the Atlantic Coast published between 1969-2024 [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceSubmerged or partially floating seagrasses in marine or brackish waters form productive seagrass beds, feeding grounds for a rich and varied associated biota, play key ecological roles in mitigating climate change and provide ecosystem services for ...

Multiple paternity, fertilization success, and male quality: Mating system variation in the eelgrass, Zostera marina. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAbstract Genetic diversity can modulate a population's response to a changing environment and plays a critical role in its ecological function. While multiple processes act to maintain genetic diversity, sexual reproduction remains the primary driving force.

The response of the seagrass Halodule wrightii Ascherson to environmental stressors [PDF]
Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2020 Abstract Seagrasses are subjected to intense levels of anthropogenic disturbance as a result of the shallow nearshore waters they inhabit. Some seagrasses are known to have dynamic growth patterns, enabling them to colonize unstable shallow environments and adapt to a range of disturbances.

Ecological Indicators, 2023 The Indian River Lagoon (IRL) on Florida’s east-central coast is a highly developed eutrophic estuary, experiencing harmful algal blooms (HABs). Beginning in 2011, the IRL experienced multiple phytoplankton HABs that were followed by widespread seagrass ...

Recovery of a Halodule wrightii donor meadow
Restoration Ecology, 2023 Few restoration studies have quantified the recovery of the donor meadow. We evaluated the recovery of a monospecific donor meadow of Halodule wrightii, the second most commonly used transplanting species, and assessed the possible effect of 24 plots of 1 m2 placed in an approximately 3,400 m2 large monospecific meadow with a mean cover of 45%, foliar ...
