The role of intertidal seagrass Zostera spp. in sediment deposition and coastal stability in the Tay Estuary, Scotland [PDF]
, 2012 The Tay estuary is situated on the east coast of Scotland. The estuary is dominated by sediment biotopes, including mudflats which support sparse beds of two nationally scarce seagrass species, Zostera marina var. angustfolia (Hornem.) and Z.

The movement ecology of seagrasses [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2014 A movement ecology framework is applied to enhance our understanding of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of movement in seagrasses: marine, clonal, flowering plants. Four life-history stages of seagrasses can move: pollen, sexual propagules, vegetative fragments and the spread of individuals through clonal growth.

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.

Fishers’ local knowledge strengthens seagrass restoration planning
Frontiers in Environmental ScienceSeagrass restoration is increasingly guided by habitat suitability models, yet restoration outcomes depend on more than biophysical suitability alone. In coastal social-ecological systems, fishers and anglers hold fine-scale, time-integrated knowledge of

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 ...

Frontiers in Marine ScienceGlobally seagrass restoration efforts have been increasing in recent years. Seed-based restoration is often favoured, as it provides higher genetic diversity and less impact on donor meadows.

Seagrass science is growing: A report on the 12th International Seagrass Biology Workshop [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2018 This conference report describes the programme of the 12th International Seagrass Biology Workshop, its highlights, areas of growth for the workshop, and potential future directions for the workshop series. The report is written with an eye toward where it fits within the field of seagrass research.

Seagrass restoration trials in tropical seagrass meadows of Kenya
Western Indian Ocean Journal of Marine Science, 2022 The degradation of seagrasses is becoming prevalent in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region due to anchor damage, sea urchin herbivory, extreme events such as cyclones and floods and anthropogenic factors such as pollution and sediment inflows. Consequently, there have been numerous efforts to advance the restoration of degraded seagrass beds in ...

The global distribution of seagrass meadows
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Seagrass meadows globally are under pressure with worldwide loss and degradation, but there is a growing recognition of the global importance of seagrass ecosystem services, particularly as a major carbon sink and as fisheries habitat.
