Reducing Substances in Zostera [PDF]
Nature, 1953 DURING a study of the reduction of sulphates in Zostera mud flats, it was found that when autoclaved Zostera was added to autoclaved sand and sea water, ferrous sulphide was rapidly produced. At first it was thought that this reduction was microbiological, but later it was found that living Zostera could bring about the reduction.

Scientia Marina, 2013 This paper describes the distribution and composition of the syllid fauna inhabiting seagrass meadows in the Ensenada de O Grove (NW Spain). Samples were collected on muddy sediments colonized by either Zostera marina L., Zostera noltei Hornemann or by a

Habitat characteristics drive fish recruitment enhancement in threatened coastal nursery habitats
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our findings underscore the importance of habitat attributes and physical settings as the key predictors of fish enhancement across threatened coastal nurseries of North America. Restoration and management efforts should aim to optimize these factors to maximize fish recruitment potential amid ecosystem degradation. Abstract Structured coastal habitats

Terrestrial Laser Scanning Reveals Seagrass Microhabitat Structure on a Tideflat
Remote Sensing, 2015 Local-scale environmental heterogeneity can provide microhabitats that influence the spatial distribution of competing species. Microhabitats may influence the distribution of seagrasses along elevation gradients, but difficulty measuring intertidal ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our framework links policy targets (achieving good ecological status) and actions (nutrient emission reductions) to realized biodiversity benefits. The approach also supports the optimal placement of monitoring sites under different nutrient abatement scenarios.

Estimating ecological thresholds for good status using natural variation in reference conditions
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.The framework outlined here presents a transparent, robust, scalable and pressure‐independent approach to estimate the probability of an ecosystem component being in good status for a range of marine systems. This straightforward and easily understood approach can be used to estimate thresholds for good status where they are missing for ecological ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.Conceptual diagram of soil carbon cycling across climatic and environmental gradients in Nordic marshes and grazing effect. Denmark's warmer climate, high nutrient inputs, elevated salinity, and sandy soils promote rapid microbial decomposition of predominantly labile and root‐derived OC, driving high CO2 emissions and relatively high although unstable

PLoS ONE, 2014 Pro- and eukaryotic microbes associated with multi-cellular organisms are receiving increasing attention as a driving factor in ecosystems. Endophytes in plants can change host performance by altering nutrient uptake, secondary metabolite production or defense mechanisms.

Characterization of a resilient seagrass meadow during a decline period
Scientia Marina, 2018 Seagrasses are globally threatened ecosystems with essential ecological roles. An important limitation in seagrass conservation efforts is the poor understanding of resilient meadows. The present work studies a meadow, which maintained a large population

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.Abstract Introduction Seagrass meadows, composed of submersed aquatic vegetation (SAV), are changing due to climate change, increasing the need for adaptive restoration approaches such as incorporating native species that thrive under new environmental regimes.
