Abstract Resource subsidies, or the flow of energy across ecosystem boundaries, can influence community structure and function and act as important nutrient sources to less productive ecosystems, particularly in marine and coastal zones. Coastal dunes, connected to the nearshore through sandy beaches, likely depend on the delivery of marine subsidies ...

SURVEY OF METAL CONTENTS OF BOSPORUS ALGAE, ZOSTERA-MARINA AND SEDIMENTS
This paper reports on heavy metal pollution in five algae, a phanerogam and the sediments collected from seven stations in the Bosphorus. The phanerogam Zostera marina showed higher metal levels than the algae tested.

Connecting the distribution and diversification of marine plants
Integration of the evolutionary history with distribution of extant species is necessary to explain present‐day diversity, particularly for ‘foundation' species, such as seagrasses, which create habitats of socioecological relevance. Here, we resolved if varying evolutionary history of seagrass families has imprinted the distribution ranges of extant ...

In order to feed the growing population of the world in more sustainable ways, more governments and other actors are turning to the aquaculture of marine species to provide for the increasing need for sustenance. Oysters, specifically Crassostrea gigas,

Both seagrasses and bivalve shellfish provide valuable ecosystem services in estuaries worldwide. Seagrasses are protected by no-net-loss provisions in US federal and state regulations, resulting in precautionary management that avoids any direct impacts

Combining habitat suitability modelling with field‐based habitat assessment provides more precise inputs for mapping seagrass restoration suitability across regions and helps uncover the key drivers of restoration outcomes. This approach can greatly improve confidence in identifying the most suitable areas to maximise success in larger scale ...

Climate change is characterized not only by an increase in mean temperature, but also an increase in the variability around the means causing extreme events like marine heatwaves.

Photoacclimatory Responses of Zostera marina in the Intertidal and Subtidal Zones
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 ...

Vegetation Increases CH4 Emissions and Methanotroph Diversity in Marine Sediments
Seagrass meadows enhance carbon burial but also increase methane (CH4) emissions from marine sediments. The presence of seagrass modifies sediment properties, creating carbon‐rich environments characterized by higher carbon accumulation and CO2 fluxes, which stimulate CH4 production and lead to higher emissions.

Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...
