Functional Roles of the Seagrass (Zostera marina) Holobiont Change with Plant Development
PlantsSeagrass meadows play a critical role in biogeochemical cycling, especially in nitrogen and sulphur processes, driven by their associated microbiome. This study provides a novel functional analysis of microbial communities in seagrass (Zostera marina ...

Analyzing seagrass species and distribution for sustainable management of coastal areas and small islands: A case study of Java Island, Indonesia [PDF]
BIO Web of ConferencesSeagrass beds are essential components of coastal communities globally, as they support productive fisheries and coastline stabilization. In view of its numerous ecosystem services, the coverage of seagrass is an important indicator of ecosystem health ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The authors distil how dimensions of biodiversity drive ecosystem processes with increasing temperature. Specifically, species physiology more greatly affected ecosystem primary production than did foraging behaviour, and physiology mediated non‐additive interactions with temperature.

Comparison of water velocity profiles through morphologically dissimilar seagrasses measured with a simple and inexpensive current meter [PDF]
, 2002 The influence of seagrass morphology on water flow was studied by measuring water velocity profiles through natural seagrass meadows. An array of eight solid-state electronic current meters was used to obtain profiles through meadows of Amphibolis ...

Native habitat affinities predict fish invasions with post‐invasion habitat shifts
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Initial invasion success is gated by native pre‐adaptations, but post‐invasion establishment is characterized by habitat shifts. We demonstrate that forecasting risk based solely on native niches severely underestimates future ecological impacts, and we provide an empirically validated watchlist of future invaders.

Assessing the ecological and economic impacts of a drastic decline in tropical seagrass meadows on fish and prawn assemblages [PDF]
, 2016 Seagrass meadows provide valuable ecosystem services including increased biodiversity and enhanced fisheries production through the provision of nursery habitat, however, global coverage of seagrass ecosystems is declining rapidly. Recently the impact of

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera
The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.
