Community Changes Associated with the Spread of an Introduced Seagrass, Zostera Japonica

Ecology, 1988
Species introductions have provided a valuable source of information for understanding the factors that regulate community composition. However, the effect of such introductions has often been obscured by a lack of information on distribution and abundance patterns before or during an invasion event.

Evidence for interaction between the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica on the Pacific coast of Canada

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1991
Experiments were undertaken to differentiate between abiotic and biotic factors affecting seagrass growth. Monospecific patches of both Zostera marina and Zostera japonica were transplanted into one shallow subtidal and three intertidal sites at Roberts Bank, British Columbia. In transplanted patches, initiated in 1988, neither Z.

Isolation and characterization of a SEPALLATA-like gene, ZjMADS1, from marine angiosperm Zostera japonica

Marine Environmental Research, 2012
In flowering plants, floral homeotic MADS-box genes, which constitute a large multigene family, play important roles in the specification of floral organs as defined by the ABCDE model. In this study, a MADS-box gene, ZjMADS1, was isolated and characterized from the marine angiosperm Zostera japonica. The predicted length of the ZjMADS1 protein was 246

Germination in Zostera japonica is determined by cold stratification, tidal elevation and sediment type

Aquatic Botany, 2011
Abstract The effects of water temperature and bottom sediment type were studied on seed dormancy and germination of Zostera japonica Ascherson & Graebner in mesocosm. To test whether the germination rate is affected by cold stratification, seeds were divided into two groups: those exposed to cold (7 °C) and those left untreated (23–15 °C ...

Ecological effect of a nonnative seagrass spreading in the Northeast Pacific: A review of Zostera japonica

Ocean & Coastal Management, 2014
It is widely accepted that Zostera japonica, a seagrass species native to estuarine and coastal habitats of the Western Pacific Ocean, invaded these same habitats in the Eastern Pacific early in the Twentieth Century. Based on the supposition that this species causes harm to native species living in the estuarine and coastal regions of Washington State,

Adaptive strategies of Zostera japonica photosynthetic electron transport in response to thermal stress

Marine Biology, 2017
Seawater warming is emerging as a result of increasing global temperature. In this study, Zostera japonica (Ascherson and Graebner) collected from the intertidal zones of Changdao (37°N, 120°E) were used to investigate the responses of photosynthetic electron transport to thermal exposure in April 2016.

Leaf growth and population dynamics of intertidal Zostera japonica on the western coast of Korea

Aquatic Botany, 2005
Abstract Leaf production and population dynamics of Zostera japonica were examined at three elevations of an intertidal transect in Seungbongdo Island on the western coast of Korea. Morphometrics, shoot density, biomass, leaf production, reproductive effort and environmental factors were monitored from October 2001 to October 2002. Z.

Duration of temperature exposure controls growth of Zostera japonica: Implications for zonation and colonization

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2015
Abstract At least two seagrass congeners in the genus Zostera are found along the Pacific Coast of North America: native Zostera marina L. and the non-native Zostera japonica Aschers. & Graebn. Efforts to understand the drivers behind the expanding colonization of Z. japonica have led to interest in the biology and ecology of this species. In
