Growth of Zostera japonica in different sediment habitats of the Yellow River estuary in China

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2021
The estuarine delta of the Yellow River is a region of strong land-ocean-human interactions that undergoes a unique evolutionary process. The delta is formed by deposition of large quantities of sediments carried by the Yellow River, especially during the annual water and sediment regulation period; more than one-third of the total annual sediments is ...

Comparison of photosynthetic characteristics of the seagrass congeners Zostera marina L. and Zostera japonica Ascher. & Graeb.

Aquatic Botany, 2014
Abstract On the Pacific coast of North America two seagrass species in the genus Zostera co-exist; the native species Zostera marina, and an introduced species, Zostera japonica. These two species typically occupy separate tidal elevations, with Z. marina occupying the lower intertidal and shallow subtidal zones, and Z. japonica occupying the mid- to

The effects of epiphytic algae and their grazers on the intertidal seagrass Zostera japonica

Aquatic Botany, 2000
Abstract The impact of the dominant grazers (Clithon spp.) of epiphytic algae on the biomass and percentage cover of a population of the intertidal seagrass Zostera japonica was investigated at Lai Chi Wo, northeast Hong Kong. The population density of Clithon spp. followed a seasonal pattern, varying between 2800 individuals m−2 in winter.

Study on the Antiinflammatory Activity of Methanol Extract from Seagrass Zostera japonica

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2005
Methanolic extracts from the seagrass Zostera japonica were extracted successively using n-hexane (n-C(6)H(14)), dichloromethane (CH(2)Cl(2)), ethyl acetate (EtOAc), and water to give the n-C(6)H(14) (16.8%), CH(2)Cl(2) (40.6%), EtOAc (34.1%), and H(2)O (8.5%) soluble fractions, respectively.

The influence of migratory birds on the distribution of the seagrass Zostera japonica

Botanica Marina, 2020
Abstract Grazing pressure by animals can change the distribution and biomass of seagrass. We examined grazing pressure by conducting transect surveys and acquiring aerial images by drone before and after the arrival of migratory birds along the Asadokoro tide flats, Aomori Prefecture, Japan.

Development of microsatellite markers for the seagrass Zostera japonica using next-generation sequencing

Molecular Biology Reports, 2018
The seagrass Zostera japonica Asch. & Graebn. is among the few seagrass species that thrive both in temperate and tropical intertidal zones. The degradation of Z. japonica in its native range and continued expansion in some localities have raised concerns with regard to its conservation and management. Population genetic studies of Z.

Exploring the leaf regeneration cycles response of Zostera japonica to ocean acidification

Science of The Total Environment
Ocean acidification is one of the major global environmental problems facing humankind today, and it has far-reaching impacts on marine organisms and the entire marine ecosystem. Zostera japonica, an important supporting species of intertidal seagrass beds, exhibits high photosynthetic productivity and plays an important role in the carbon cycle of ...

Seed and seedling dynamics of the seagrass, Zostera japonica Aschers. and Graebn. and the influence of Zostera marina L.

2010
The seagrass Zostera japonica Aschers. and Graebn. occurs as pure populations and in mixture with Zostera marina L. along the intertidal regions of southwest British Columbia. At the Roberts Bank study area seed and seedling dynamics were studied in three vegetation zones: a landward monospecific zone of Z. japonica, a zone of co-existing Z.

A multivariate comparison of the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in monospecific versus mixed populations

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1991
The seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica coexist along a portion of a gradual intertidal gradient at Roberts Bank, British Columbia. Individual comparisons of 11 morphological and 2 population characters for Z. marina did not reveal consistently significant differences between the deeper water monospecific population and the population in ...

Interactive biology of two seagrasses, Zostera marina L. and Zostera japonica Aschers. & Graebn.

2010
The two seagrasses Zostera marina L. and Zostera japonica Aschers. and Graebn. coexist in an intertidal region of the south-west coast of British Columbia. At the Roberts Bank study area three vegetation zones were identified; a seaward monospecific zone of Z. marina cover, a zone of mixed Z. marina and Z.
