Tidal controls on trace gas dynamics in a seagrass meadow of the Ria Formosa lagoon (southern Portugal) [PDF]

, 2014
Coastal zones are important source regions for a variety of trace gases, including halocarbons and sulfur-bearing species. While salt marshes, macroalgae and phyto-plankton communities have been intensively studied, little is known about trace gas fluxes

Tracking Nitrogen Source Using δ15N Reveals Human and Agricultural Drivers of Seagrass Degradation across the British Isles

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Excess nutrients shift the ecological balance of coastal ecosystems, and this eutrophication is an increasing problem across the globe. Nutrient levels may be routinely measured, but monitoring rarely attempts to determine the source of these nutrients ...

Connectivity between coastal habitats of two oceanic Caribbean islands as inferred from ontogenetic shifts by coral reef fishes [PDF]

, 2003
Mangroves and seagrass beds are considered important nursery habitats for juveniles of coral reef fishes. Studies have mostly focused on the fish community of just one habitat, so the connectivity between different coastal habitats is often unclear.

The Seasonal Change Detection of Seagrass Extent using Google Earth Engine [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Seagrass ecosystems in eastern Indonesia play a crucial role in blue carbon storage, slowing climate change by absorbing and storing carbon in their sediments for decades.

Microbial Life Inside Posidonia Seeds: Beneficial Endophytes and Implications for Marine Plant Health. [PDF]

Microbiologyopen
Seagrass Posidonia oceanica seeds host diverse bacterial and fungal endophytes with plant‐growth–promoting traits, including nitrogen fixation and hormone production. These microbes may be vertically transmitted and support seedling establishment, offering insights for marine plant conservation and biotechnological applications.

Non‐seagrass carbon contributions to seagrass sediment blue carbon [PDF]

Limnology and Oceanography, 2017
AbstractNon‐seagrass sources account for ∼ 50% of the sediment organic carbon (SOC) in many seagrass beds, a fraction that may derive from external organic matter (OM) advected into the meadow and trapped by the seagrass canopy or produced in situ. If allochthonous carbon fluxes are responsible for the non‐seagrass SOC in a given seagrass bed, this ...

Short-term growth and biomechanical responses of the temperate seagrass Cymodocea nodosa to CO2 enrichment [PDF]

, 2017
Seagrasses are often regarded as climate change 'winners' because they exhibit higher rates of photosynthesis, carbon fixation and growth when exposed to increasing levels of ocean acidification.

Habitat connectivity in reef fish communities and marine reserve design in Old Providence-Santa Catalina, Colombia [PDF]

, 2003
On the insular platform of Old Providence/Santa Catalina, Colombia, we compared nearshore lagoonal patch reefs to those on the northern bank distant from the islands to determine the importance of habitat connectivity to fish community structure ...

Stress Memory in Seagrasses: First Insight Into the Effects of Thermal Priming and the Role of Epigenetic Modifications

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
While thermal priming and the relative role of epigenetic modifications have been widely studied in terrestrial plants, their roles remain unexplored in seagrasses so far.

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.
