Comparing ichthyofaunal composition between Zostera japonica beds (Plantae, Alismatales, Zosteraceae) and adjacent bare ground within a small temperate estuary in southern Japan [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria
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.

Physiological and morphological differences between novel protist pathogens of the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera japonica [PDF]

, 2021
Seagrasses are important foundational species in shallow nearshore areas, and are globally in decline primarily due to climate change and pathogens. Two species of seagrasses are found in the Puget Sound, native Zostera marina, and introduced Z. japonica,

Terrestrial Laser Scanning Reveals Seagrass Microhabitat Structure on a Tideflat

Remote Sensing, 2015
Local-scale environmental heterogeneity can provide microhabitats that influence the spatial distribution of competing species. Microhabitats may influence the distribution of seagrasses along elevation gradients, but difficulty measuring intertidal ...

Trophic Diversity and Food Web Structure of Vegetated Habitats Along a Coastal Topographic Gradient

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
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 ...

Metatranscriptomics and Amplicon Sequencing Reveal Mutualisms in Seagrass Microbiomes

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Terrestrial plants benefit from many well-understood mutualistic relationships with root- and leaf-associated microbiomes, but relatively little is known about these relationships for seagrass and other aquatic plants.

Further Evidence for Seed Size Variation in the Genus Zostera: Exploratory Studies with Z. japonica and Z. asiatica [PDF]

, 2006
Recent studies found seed size variation within the seagrass Zostera marina, one of nine species in the genus Zostera. The objectives of this study were to determine if variation also exists in the seeds of two other species Zostera japonica and Zostera ...

Blue Carbon Stocks Along the Pacific Coast of North America Are Mainly Driven by Local Rather Than Regional Factors. [PDF]

Global Biogeochem Cycles
Abstract Coastal wetlands, including seagrass meadows, emergent marshes, mangroves, and temperate tidal swamps, can efficiently sequester and store large quantities of sediment organic carbon (SOC). However, SOC stocks may vary by ecosystem type and along environmental or climate gradients at different scales.

A study of pore-water sulfide and eelgrass (Zostera japonica and Zostera marina) in Padilla Bay, Washington [PDF]

, 2014
Two species of eelgrass can be found in Padilla Bay, Washington (Zostera japonica and Zostera marina) and act as a bioindicators of ecosystem health. Many factors can contribute to the status of an eelgrass bed, including light, temperature, salinity ...
