Tracking environmental trends in the Great Bay Estuarine System through comparisons of historical and present-day green and red algal community structure and nutrient content [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Monitoring macroalgae populations is an effective means of detecting long term water quality changes in estuarine systems. To investigate the environmental status of New Hampshire’s Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, this study assessed the ...

An economical non-destructive method for estimating eelgrass, Zostera marina (Potamogetonaceae) leaf growth rates: formal development and use in northwestern Baja California

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2008
Seagrass beds provide much of the primary production in estuaries; host many fishes and fish larvae, and abate erosion. The present study presents original analytical methods for estimating mean leaf-growth rates of eelgrass (Zostera marina).

Adaptations by Zostera marina Dominated Seagrass Meadows in Response to Water Quality and Climate Forcing

open access: yesDiversity, 2018
Global assessments of seagrass declines have documented accelerating rates of loss due to anthropogenic sediment and nutrient loadings, resulting in poor water quality.

Effects of elevated CO2 and nutrients on the community metabolism of a Cymodocea nodosa bed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We assessed the combined effects of elevated CO2 and nutrients on the metabolism of a benthic community dominated by the seagrass Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Ascherson in a mesocosm experiment. C. nodosa plants and their associated community were exposed to

Seasonal ecosystem metabolism across shallow benthic habitats measured by aquatic eddy covariance

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, 2019
Shallow benthic habitats are hotspots for carbon cycling and energy flow, but metabolism (primary production and respiration) dynamics and habitat‐specific differences remain poorly understood.

Some physiological effects of two algal epiphytes on the surfgrass Phyllospadix torreyi Wats. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1980
Measurement of the physiological effects of the red algal epiphytes Smithora naiadum (Anders.) Hollenberg and Melobesia mediocris (Fosl.) Setch. and Mason on Phyllospadix torreyi Wats.

Characterization of the Mycobiome of the Seagrass, Zostera marina, Reveals Putative Associations With Marine Chytrids. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Seagrasses are globally distributed marine flowering plants that are foundation species in coastal ecosystems. Seagrass beds play essential roles as habitats and hatcheries, in nutrient cycling, and in protecting the coastline from erosion. Although many

Contrasting salinity responses of two halophytes

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1984
Not available – first paragraph follows: Despite their salinity, tidal marshes are highly productive. Salt marsh plants are often reported to have rates of productivity exceeding those of many cultivated species.

Chemical Diversity of Mediterranean Seagrasses Volatilome

open access: yesMetabolites
Background/Objectives: Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), extensively studied in terrestrial plants with global emissions around 1 PgC yr−1, are also produced by marine organisms.

Single fiber tensile strength of seagrasses and the development and characterization of Zostera marina-based medium density boards

open access: yesCleaner Materials
This study investigates the potential of the leaves of the seagrass Zostera marina (ZM) as an alternative raw material for the production medium-density boards.
