Seascape genetics and biophysical connectivity modelling support conservation of the seagrass Zostera marina in the Skagerrak–Kattegat region of the eastern North Sea

Evolutionary Applications, 2018
Maintaining and enabling evolutionary processes within meta‐populations are critical to resistance, resilience and adaptive potential. Knowledge about which populations act as sources or sinks, and the direction of gene flow, can help to focus ...

Restored intertidal eelgrass (Z. marina) supports benthic communities taxonomically and functionally similar to natural seagrasses in the Wadden Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science
Ecological restoration has become an important management-tool to counteract the widespread losses of seagrass meadows and their associated biodiversity.

Influence of the Seagrass, Zostera marina, on Wave Attenuation and Bed Shear Stress Within a Shallow Coastal Bay

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Local effects of flow interaction with seagrass structure modify meadow scale hydrodynamics, resulting in lower current velocities and wave heights within a seagrass meadow.

The genome of the seagrass Zostera marina reveals angiosperm adaptation to the sea

Nature, 2016
Seagrasses colonized the sea on at least three independent occasions to form the basis of one of the most productive and widespread coastal ecosystems on the planet.

Effects of harvesting methods on sustainability of a bay scallop fishery: dredging uproots seagrass and displaces recruits [PDF]

, 2005
Fishing is widely recognized to have profound effects on estuarine and marine ecosystems (Hammer and Jansson, 1993; Dayton et al., 1995). Intense commercial and recreational harvest of valuable species can result in population collapses of target and ...

New Insights into Different Reproductive Effort and Sexual Recruitment Contribution between Two Geographic Zostera marina L. Populations in Temperate China

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Seagrasses are important components of global coastal ecosystems, and the eelgrass Zostera marina L. is widely distributed along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the temperate northern hemisphere, but limited datum related to the contribution of sexual

Light Stress Responses by the Eelgrass, Zostera marina (L)

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
Zostera marina is the dominant seagrass species in the Northern Hemisphere where it grows in sheltered bays and estuaries. As a consequence of its distribution its conservation is commonly threatened by poor coastal water quality.

Mesocosm experiments quantify the effects of eutrophication on eelgrass, Zostera marina [PDF]

, 1995
Outdoor mesocosm experiments were used to examine the response of eelgrass communities to excess nutrient loading and reduced light that simulated coastal eutrophication.

Potential uptake of dissolved organic matter by seagrasses and macroalgae [PDF]

, 2011
Dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) acts as a large reservoir of fixed nitrogen. Whereas DON utilization is common in the microbial community, little is known about utilization by macrophytes.

Effects of sulfide concentration, pH, and anoxia on photosynthesis and respiration of Zostera marina

Ciencias Marinas, 2012
Sulfide produced in marine sediments by sulfate reduction is toxic for several macrophytes, and high sediment sulfide concentrations have been associated with seagrass die-off events. Sulfide has been shown to reduce growth in a number of seagrasses, but
