The turbulent soundscape of intertidal oyster reefs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Turbulence and sound are important cues for oyster reef larval recruitment. Numerous studies have found a relationship between turbulence intensity and swimming behaviors of marine larvae, while others have documented the importance of sounds in ...

Oyster and Barnacle Recruitment Dynamics on and Near a Natural Reef in China: Implications for Oyster Reef Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Oysters and barnacles are dominant inhabitants of natural and restored oyster reefs around the world, and high areal coverage of barnacles at natural or restored reefs commonly decreases substrate accessibility for oyster settlement.

Comparison of methods for determining biogeochemical fluxes from a restored oyster reef. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Oyster reef restoration can significantly increase benthic denitrification rates. Methods applied to measure nutrient fluxes and denitrification from oyster reefs in previous studies include incubations of sediment cores collected adjacent to oyster ...

Oyster reefs' control of carbonate chemistry—Implications for oyster reef restoration in estuaries subject to coastal ocean acidification

Global Change Biology, 2023
AbstractGlobally, oyster reef restoration is one of the most widely applied coastal restoration interventions. While reefs are focal points of processes tightly linked to the carbonate system such as shell formation and respiration, how these processes alter reef carbonate chemistry relative to the surrounding seawater is unclear.

Reef design influences habitat provision on a restored oyster reef

Frontiers in Marine Science
Habitat restoration efforts are often limited by cost, making it important that available funds are used efficiently and effectively to achieve desired restoration goals.

Habitat Size and Location Drive Heterogeneity in Oyster Shell Colonization by Sessile Invertebrates [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Oyster reefs form a critical, biogenic coastal habitat and host diverse assemblages of fish and invertebrates. Previous studies show that variation in the settlement and distribution of oyster reef inhabitants depends on factors such as flow and members ...

Analysis of the Structure and Functioning of the Chudao Oyster Reef Ecosystem in Sanggou Bay, China [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
The Chudao oyster reef in Sanggou Bay, China represents a rare case of reef expansion in the context of global oyster reef degradation. However, its ecosystem structure and functioning remain poorly understood.

Evidence of exceptional oyster-reef resilience to fluctuations in sea level. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2017
AbstractEcosystems at the land–sea interface are vulnerable to rising sea level. Intertidal habitats must maintain their surface elevations with respect to sea level to persist via vertical growth or landward retreat, but projected rates of sea‐level rise may exceed the accretion rates of many biogenic habitats.

Historical dataset details the distribution, extent and form of lost Ostrea edulis reef ecosystems [PDF]

Scientific Data
Ocean ecosystems have been subjected to anthropogenic influences for centuries, but the scale of past ecosystem changes is often unknown. For centuries, the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis), an ecosystem engineer providing biogenic reef habitats, was

Comparison of the effects of reef and anthropogenic soundscapes on oyster larvae settlement [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Settlement is a critical period in the life cycle of marine invertebrates with a planktonic larval stage. For reef-building invertebrates such as oysters and corals, settlement rates are predictive for long-term reef survival.
