Science and Management of the Introduced Seagrass Zostera japonica in North America

Environmental Management, 2013
Healthy seagrass is considered a prime indicator of estuarine ecosystem function. On the Pacific coast of North America, at least two congeners of Zostera occur: native Zostera marina, and introduced, Zostera japonica. Z. japonica is considered "invasive" and therefore, ecologically and economically harmful by some, while others consider it benign or ...

A study of pore-water sulfide and eelgrass (Zostera japonica and Zostera marina) in Padilla Bay, Washington

open access: yes, 2014
Two species of eelgrass can be found in Padilla Bay, Washington (Zostera japonica and Zostera marina) and act as a bioindicators of ecosystem health. Many factors can contribute to the status of an eelgrass bed, including light, temperature, salinity, and nutrients.

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

open access: yesAquatic 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.

Seagrasses (Zostera marina) and (Zostera japonica) Display a Differential Photosynthetic Response to TCO2: Implications for Acidification Mitigation

open access: yes, 2016
"Excess atmospheric CO2 is being absorbed at an unprecedented rate by the global and coastal oceans, shifting the baseline pCO2 and altering seawater carbonate chemistry in a process known as ocean acidification (OA). Recent attention has been given to near-shore vegetated habitats, such as seagrass beds, which may have the potential to mitigate the ...

A set of microsatellite primers for Zostera japonica (Zosteraceae)

American Journal of Botany, 2011
• Premise of the study: Polymorphic microsatellite primers were developed in the seagrass Zostera japonica to investigate genetic variation and to identify clonal structure.• Methods and Results: Thirteen polymorphic loci and 23 monomorphic loci were developed in Z. japonica.

Evidence for synonymizing Zostera americana den hartog with Zostera japonica Aschers. & Graebn.

Aquatic Botany, 1982
Abstract A numerical analysis of four species of the Zostera subgenus Zosterella was conducted to determine the taxonomic position of Zostera americana den Hartog. Results of principal components analysis support the determination that Z. americana on the northeast Pacific coast is synonymous with Zostera japonica Aschers. & Graebn.

Influence of Seasonal Abiotic Factors and Co-Existing Salt Marsh Plants on the Growth and Reproduction of Zostera japonica in Fluctuating Estuarine Environments

open access: yesSustainability, 2023
In the biodiverse Nakdong River estuary, the predominant seagrass and salt marsh species, Zostera japonica and Bolboschoenus planiculmis, are declining due to human and natural pressures.

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 ...
