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

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.

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.

Vegetation Increases CH₄ Emissions and Methanotroph Diversity in Marine Sediments. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Seagrass meadows enhance carbon burial but also increase methane (CH4) emissions from marine sediments. The presence of seagrass modifies sediment properties, creating carbon‐rich environments characterized by higher carbon accumulation and CO2 fluxes, which stimulate CH4 production and lead to higher emissions.

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.

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.

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

Gibberellic acid and light effects on seed germination in the seagrass Zostera marina. [PDF]

Physiol Plant
Abstract Seagrass meadows have been heavily affected by human activities, with Zostera marina L. (Zosteraceae) being one of the most impacted species. Seed‐based methods are currently the preferred approach for their restoration, yet low germination rates and poor seedling establishment remain significant challenges.
