Moderate Increase in TCO2 Enhances Photosynthesis of Seagrass Zostera japonica, but Not Zostera marina: Implications for Acidification Mitigation [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Photosynthesis and respiration are vital biological processes that shape the diurnal variability of carbonate chemistry in nearshore waters, presumably ameliorating (daytime) or exacerbating (nighttime) short-term acidification events, which are expected

Development of microsatellite loci for the endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae) [PDF]
Applications in Plant Sciences, 2015 Premise of the study:New microsatellite markers were developed for the Asian endangered seagrass Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae) to assess genetic diversity and population structure of this species. In China, Z. japonica populations have drastically decreased since the 1970s.Methods and Results:A total of 12 polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite ...

Spatial Distribution and Ecological Characteristics of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in the Seomjin Estuary [PDF]
Han'guk Susan Hakhoe Chi = Bulletin of the Korean Fisheries Society, 2010 Among common estuarine submerged plants, seagrasses are the most extensively studied due to their ecological importance in estuarine ecosystems. Seagrass meadows are important biological habitats for a wide variety of marine animals and plants. They are a source of organic carbon for commercially important animals.
