Vanishing Seagrass (Zostera marina, L.) in Swedish Coastal Waters [PDF]

AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2003
Along the Swedish Skagerrak coast eelgrass (Zostera marina) is a dominant phanerogam on shallow soft bottoms. Eelgrass meadows are important biotopes for many crustacean and fish species being either migratory or stationary. During the 1980s, inventories of the shallow coastal areas with eelgrass have been carried out along the Swedish west coast as a ...

Absorption and translocation of zinc in eelgrass (Zostera marina L.)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1982
Abstract The absorption and translocation of zinc in eelgrass ( Zostera marina L.) were examined in a two-compartment system, using 65 Zn and autoradiography. The experiments showed that eelgrass absorbed 65 Zn and carrier-Zn in the same relative proportions, and that all parts of the plant had the ability to absorb zinc.

Culture of Zostera marina L. in the laboratory

Aquaculture, 1977
Abstract It is possible to culture the seagrass Zostera marina L. in a closed-system aquarium. The conditions chosen proved to be sufficient for vegetative growth as well as flowering.

Influence of the seagrass, Zostera marina L., on current flow

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 1982
Abstract A salt-water flume was used to describe the mechanics of current flow around an articial Zostera marina meadow. Shear velocity and roughness height were positively correlated with seagrass surface area, and were positively/negatively correlated with current velocity.

Laboratory experiments on eelgrass (Zostera Marina L.) decomposition

Netherlands Journal of Sea Research, 1984
Abstract Eelgrass, Zostera marina L., forms large quantities of detritus in Lake Grevelingen. Laboratory experiments with green eelgrass and eelgrass detritus have been performed under aerobic and anaerobic conditions to study leaching and chemical changes of plant matter and surrounding medium.

Surface and submarine pollination in the seagrass Zostera marina L.

Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 1992
COX, P. A., LAUSHMAN, R. H. & RUCKLESHAUS, M. H., 1992. Surface and submarine pollination in the seagrass Zostera marina L. Hydrophilous plants can be divided into three ecological categories depending upon whether their pollen is transported above, on, or under the water surface. A mixed mode of submarine and surface hydrophilous pollination occurs in

Selection of Zostera Marina L. Ecotypes for transplanting

OCEANS '85 - Ocean Engineering and the Environment, 1985
The restoration and enhancement of eelgrass meadows are becoming common place in coastal marshes and bays. Eelgrass (Zostera marina) research has demonstrated that the species has several ecotypes each with different biomass, morphology and habitat dependent phenoptypes.

Flowering, pollination and fruiting in Zostera marina L.

Aquatic Botany, 1980
Abstract Sexual reproduction of Zostera marina L. has been observed in vitro. Six different stages can be distinguished: (1) the styles erect from the spadix and (2) bend back after pollination with the thread-like pollen grains; (3) pollen is released from the half anthers under water or at the water surface; (4) after maturation of 4 to 5 weeks, (

Uptake of 65Zn by eelgrass, Zostera marina, L.

Science of The Total Environment, 1980
Abstract 65Zn was taken up from seawater solution by eelgrass, Zostera marina L., roots and translocated to leaf blades. Similarly, 65Zn was taken up from seawater by eelgrass blades and translocated to root and rhizome tissues.

Eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) in the Gulf of California:.

Science (New York, N.Y.), 2010
Discovery of Its Nutritional Value by the Seri Indians Zostera marina occurs in the northern Gulf of California. The grain of eelgrass is harvested in the spring and formed an important part of traditional Seri diet and culture. This is the only known case of a grain from the sea being used as a human food source. Eelgrass has considerable potential as
