Tidal controls on trace gas dynamics in a seagrass meadow of the Ria Formosa lagoon (southern Portugal) [PDF]
Coastal zones are important source regions for a variety of trace gases, including halocarbons and sulfur-bearing species. While salt marshes, macroalgae and phyto-plankton communities have been intensively studied, little is known about trace gas fluxes

Comparing ichthyofaunal composition between Zostera japonica beds (Plantae, Alismatales, Zosteraceae) and adjacent bare ground within a small temperate estuary in southern Japan [PDF]
Zostera japonica Ascherson et Graebner, 1907 is a dominant seagrass species that forms coastal habitats in the northwestern Pacific. Bare areas adjacent to these seagrass beds are also recognized as fish habitat.

Trophic Diversity and Food Web Structure of Vegetated Habitats Along a Coastal Topographic Gradient
Land–sea interactions in coastal wetlands create heterogeneous vegetated habitats with regular zonation along a topographic gradient. However, it’s unclear how the trophic diversity of communities and trophic structure of food webs change along the ...

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
