The effects of the presence of seagrasses (Zostera SSP.) on benthic intertidal invertebrate communities [PDF]
1. A quantitative investigation of the benthic macrofauna associated with seagrass swards was carried out over a period of four months, on the intertidal mud flats at Lindisfarne, Northumberland. 2.

In order to feed the growing population of the world in more sustainable ways, more governments and other actors are turning to the aquaculture of marine species to provide for the increasing need for sustenance. Oysters, specifically Crassostrea gigas,

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

Tidal Inundation Decreases Carbon Dioxide Exchange in an Irish Atlantic Saltmarsh
Abstract Despite the growing interest in carbon cycling in tidal‐wetland ecosystems we lack sufficient understanding of the degree to which saltmarsh ecosystems sequester carbon and the ecosystem dynamics of carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, especially with tidal influence.

Terrestrial Laser Scanning Reveals Seagrass Microhabitat Structure on a Tideflat
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 ...

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.

ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

Abstract Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale. As such, seagrass restoration efforts often fail. In this study, we tested whether artificial oyster
