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.

Role of Seagrass as a Food Source for Benthos in Tidal Flats: Toward Conservation and Restoration of Resilient Ecosystems [PDF]

Animals
Seagrass is a key primary producer in coastal ecosystems; however, most studies on seagrass-benthos interactions have focused on subtidal zones. Some species such as Zostera japonica grow in intertidal flats; however, their ecological functions remain ...

Diverse RNA viruses discovered in multiple seagrass species. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
Seagrasses are marine angiosperms that form highly productive and diverse ecosystems. These ecosystems, however, are declining worldwide. Plant-associated microbes affect critical functions like nutrient uptake and pathogen resistance, which has led to ...

Facultative Annual Life Cycles in Seagrasses [PDF]

Plants, 2023
Plant species usually have either annual or perennial life cycles, but facultative annual species have annual or perennial populations depending on their environment.

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.
