Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.Abstract Introduction Seagrass restoration efforts are being implemented globally to accelerate the slow natural recolonization success. Among the various existing methods, seed‐based approaches offer the greatest scalability for species like Zostera marina, yet these methods remain undeveloped for a number of sub‐tidal systems like the Baltic Sea ...

Wasting Disease of Eelgrass (Zostera marina) [PDF]
Nature, 1933 IN NATURE of December 30, 1933, a letter appeared on the disease of the eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Danish waters based on investigations which I made in the summer of 1933. I am now able to give further details concerning this disease. The destruction of the leaves was continued during the winter, but young shoots formed in the early spring were ...

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.Marine heatwaves increasingly expose shallow eelgrass habitats to thermal extremes. We experimentally exposed 12 fish species collected from eelgrass meadows to a simulated heatwave and quantified thermal tolerance and short‐term acclimation capacity.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 4084-4101, June 2026.ABSTRACT Efficient nitrogen (N) uptake is critical for crop yield, but soil salinization inhibits plant nitrogen acquisition. In this study, the nitrate (NO3−) transporter gene SsNRT2.5 and its promoter from the halophyte Suaeda salsa was investigated to elucidate the functional role in NO3− transport under salinity and low NO3−–N conditions.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale. As such, seagrass restoration efforts often fail. In this study, we tested whether artificial oyster

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Predation risk varies through space and time due to changing refuge quality, predator communities, and prey traits. Despite this, ecological research is often focused on measuring average predation risk at the community level. While this can give important information about overall trophic transfer and ecological efficiency, it ignores ...

Rocking the Boat: Damage to Eelgrass by Swinging Boat Moorings
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Seagrass meadows commonly reside in shallow sheltered embayments typical of the locations that provide an attractive option for mooring boats. Given the potential for boat moorings to result in disturbance to the seabed due to repeated physical impact ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Accelerating losses of seagrass meadows has led to efforts to restore these highly productive and beneficial ecosystems globally. Depth and light availability are critical determinants of seagrass restoration success.

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Benthic incubation chambers enclose a known volume of water overlying a known area to measure water chemistry changes and are typically used to quantify the metabolic activity of benthic organisms or communities. Here we present an economical benthic incubation chamber for shallow, low‐flow environments, built using off‐the‐shelf components ...
