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

Mechanism and threshold of environmental stressors on seagrass in high-turbidity estuary: case of Zostera japonica in Yellow River Estuary, China [PDF]
Zostera japonica (Z. japonica), the most widely distributed seagrass species in temperate estuaries, has experienced a dramatic decline of nearly 75% over the past decade.

Spatial Distribution and Ecological Characteristics of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in the Seomjin Estuary [PDF]
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.

Enhancement of salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana by Zostera japonica DnaJ gene
Abstract Soil salt damage has become one of the main biological stresses affecting plant seed germination, crop growth and yield. Salt damage can lead to the accumulation of superoxide anion, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl free radicals in plants, and a large amount of accumulated reactive oxygen species will cause the oxidation of lipids, proteins and

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