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.

Soluble sugar component-based quality assessment and SWEET transport family identification uncovering soluble sugar accumulation mechanism in Zostera marina

Frontiers in Plant Science
Zostera marina L. is a marine medicinal plant with important ecological functions and considerable medicinal value. However, the absence of a systematic quality evaluation system has limited the development and utilization of its medicinal resources.

Prediction of suitable habitats in Zostera noltii meadows by Ecological Niche Factor Analysis
A tool for environmental management of coastal

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
Seagrasses are present in the entire coastal habitats around the world. These coastal habitats provide many goods and services which maintain the integrity of coastal ecosystems and consequently the quality of human life of the communities involved.

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

Study on the effects of extreme climate and human activities on the growth mechanisms of Zostera japonica in the Yellow River estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Zostera japonica, as one of the major seagrasses in the Yellow River Estuary, plays a critical ecological role, particularly in providing habitat for marine organisms, stabilizing sediment, and contributing significantly to carbon sequestration.

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Disappearance of Zostera marina [PDF]

Nature, 1947
THIS very common flowering plant used to cover large areas of estuaries of Britain, but about fifteen years ago it died out almost completely on both sides of the Atlantic, though not on the Pacific coasts of the United States. Evidence as to the present condition is now being sought, both here and in America.

Guidelines for model adaptation: A study of the transferability of a general seagrass ecosystem Dynamic Bayesian Networks model

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In general, it is not feasible to collect enough empirical data to capture the entire range of processes that define a complex system, either intrinsically or when viewing the system from a different geographical or temporal perspective. In this context,
