Habitat-builders complexity boosts associated fauna functional trait richness (Zostera marina meadows, Baltic Sea)

Ecological Indicators, 2022
Seagrass has been widely recognized as ecosystem engineers and habitat-builders increasing biodiversity and abundance of associated fauna. However, seagrass habitats are being degraded globally due to modification of coastline, terrestrial inputs, and ...

Pigment and fatty acid profiling reveal differences in epiphytic microphytes among tropical Thalassodendron ciliatum meadows

, 2020
Tropical seagrasses support abundant and diverse epiphytic microalgae that form the base of seagrass food webs. To help better understand the influence of structural variability of tropical seagrass meadows on associated microalgal epiphytes, we ...

Estimating macrobenthic secondary production from body weight and biomass: a field test in a non-boreal intertidal habitat [PDF]

, 1993
Production (P) and biomass (B) data of different species from 3 stations in the intertidal zone of the Ria Formosa (southern Portugal, 37-degrees-N) were analysed.

The Role of Herbivory in Structuring Tropical Seagrass Ecosystem Service Delivery

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Seagrass meadows support key ecosystem services, via provision of food directly for herbivores, and indirectly to their predators. The importance of herbivores in seagrass meadows has been well-documented, but the links between food webs and ecosystem ...

Fairy circle landscapes under the sea

, 2017
Short-scale interactions yield large-scale vegetation patterns that, in turn, shape ecosystem function across landscapes. Fairy circles, which are circular patches bare of vegetation within otherwise continuous landscapes, are characteristic features of ...

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.

Tiny is mighty: seagrass beds have a large role in the export of organic material in the tropical coastal zone. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Ecosystems in the tropical coastal zone exchange particulate organic matter (POM) with adjacent systems, but differences in this function among ecosystems remain poorly quantified.

Light is more important than nutrient ratios of fertilization for cymodocea nodosa seedling development [PDF]

, 2018
Restoration of seagrass beds through seedlings is an alternative to the transplantation of adult plants that reduces the impact over donor areas and increases the genetic variability of restored meadows.

Trade-Offs and Synergies Between Seagrass Ecosystems and Fishing Activities: A Global Literature Review

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Seagrass ecosystems support human well-being by delivering a wide range of ecosystem services. Particularly important is the significant role they play in food provisioning by supporting fisheries worldwide. Despite their socio-economic importance, it is
