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.

Study on the effects of extreme climate and human activities on the growth mechanisms of Zostera japonica in the Yellow River estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Zostera japonica, as one of the major seagrasses in the Yellow River Estuary, plays a critical ecological role, particularly in providing habitat for marine organisms, stabilizing sediment, and contributing significantly to carbon sequestration.

Response of Zostera japonica rhizosphere bacteria to ocean acidification

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Amidst global climate change, the escalating atmospheric CO2 levels have intensified ocean acidification (OA), significantly impacting the structure and function of marine ecosystems.

Novel insights into the rhizosphere and seawater microbiome of Zostera marina in diverse mariculture zones [PDF]

Microbiome
Background Seagrasses offer various ecosystem services and possess high levels of primary productivity. However, the development of mariculture has affected the homeostasis of seagrass meadow ecosystems.

Growth Performance of Diminutive <i>Halophila ovalis</i> Seagrass Related to Substrate Condition in an Abandoned Mariculture Pond. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Halophila ovalis seagrasses clonally reproduce under both raw pond soil and open sea soil conditions in the tidal‐connected mariculture ponds. The pond soil supports a more rapid seagrass reproduction, as indicated by more leaf numbers of H. ovalis in the pond soil treatment from the 70th day onward.

Uncovering the Nanozostera japonica species complex suggests cryptic speciation and underestimated seagrass diversity. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary The importance of marine angiosperms, or seagrasses, as foundation species for marine coastal ecosystems is in marked contrast to their low species number of only 70 described taxa. Seagrass species tend to have very similar overall morphologies dictated by hydrodynamic forces of the ocean environment.

Growth and Photoacclimation Strategies of Three Zostera Species Along a Vertical Gradient: Implications for Seagrass Zonation Patterns

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Seagrasses typically display vertical zonation patterns in tropical and temperate areas. In East Asia, three Zostera species (Z. japonica, Z. marina, and Z.

Spatial Distribution Characteristics of Seagrass Habitat Based on Remote Sensing Data: Focusing on Wan Island [PDF]

Geo Data, 2022
In May 2019, UAV photogrammetry using drones (unmanned aircraft) was conducted to investigate the spatial distribution characteristics of the seagrass habitat in Wan Island. Wan Is. sea was divided into 3 geographical areas (Site A, B, C) by referring to
