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 ...

Photoacclimatory Responses of Zostera marina in the Intertidal and Subtidal Zones
PLOS ONE, 2016 Photoacclimatory responses of the seagrass Zostera marina in the intertidal and subtidal zones were investigated by measuring chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters, photosynthetic pigments, leaf δ13C values, and shoot morphology in two bay systems. Intertidal plants had higher carotenoid concentrations than subtidal plants to avoid photodamage under ...

Global Biogeochemical Cycles, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Pacific island seagrass systems remain critically underrepresented in global blue carbon assessments despite their potential significance for climate mitigation. We present the first national‐scale assessment of seagrass soil carbon stocks for a Pacific island nation based on 135 sediment cores from 47 sites across Fiji.

Habitat characteristics drive fish recruitment enhancement in threatened coastal nursery habitats
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our findings underscore the importance of habitat attributes and physical settings as the key predictors of fish enhancement across threatened coastal nurseries of North America. Restoration and management efforts should aim to optimize these factors to maximize fish recruitment potential amid ecosystem degradation. Abstract Structured coastal habitats

Experiment on seagrass (Zostera marina) response to chronically elevated temperature
, 2021 This study simulated a 9-months warming scenario on the common seagrass Zostera marina from winter into summer (December 2015 - August 2016) in the Western Baltic Sea (Kiel Fijord), using outdoor mesocosms.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our framework links policy targets (achieving good ecological status) and actions (nutrient emission reductions) to realized biodiversity benefits. The approach also supports the optimal placement of monitoring sites under different nutrient abatement scenarios.

, 2012 The Tay estuary is situated on the east coast of Scotland. The estuary is dominated by sediment biotopes, including mudflats which support sparse beds of two nationally scarce seagrass species, Zostera marina var. angustfolia (Hornem.) and Z.

, 2023 Eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a vital ecosystem engineer in the Salish Sea and is established as an indicator for ecological health in Puget Sound. Declines within eelgrass meadows around the San Juan Islands from monitoring through 2000-2020 have gained ...
