Monitoring the Spatial and Interannual Dynamic of Zostera noltei [PDF]
Wetlands, 2023 Seagrass is a vital structural and functional element of the marine environment worldwide and is highly valued for its ecological benefits. Monitoring the evolution of the seagrass habitat is essential to understand how this coastal ecosystem changes, and to develop good environmental management practices.

Reproductive Cycle of the Seagrass Zostera noltei in the Ria de Aveiro Lagoon [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Sexual reproduction in seagrasses is essential to increase their resilience towards environmental stressors, but its phenology is still unknown in some regions, limiting our knowledge about the recovery capacity of these ecosystems.

Sediment Characteristics Determine the Flowering Effort of Zostera noltei Meadows Inhabiting a Human-Dominated Lagoon [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Recent studies have shown increasing Zostera noltei meadows in areas modified by anthropogenic activities. However, it is not entirely clear whether this trend of expansion could be linked to a greater reproductive effort in the species.

Individual-based genetic analyses support asexual hydrochory dispersal in Zostera noltei. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Dispersal beyond the local patch in clonal plants was typically thought to result from sexual reproduction via seed dispersal. However, evidence for the separation, transport by water, and re-establishment of asexual propagules (asexual hydrochory) is ...

The Role of Seagrass Traits in Mediating Zostera noltei Vulnerability to Mesograzers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Understanding how intra-specific differences in plant traits mediate vulnerability to herbivores of relevant habitat-forming plants is vital to attain a better knowledge on the drivers of the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Such studies, however,

Effect of spatio-temporal shifts in salinity combined with other environmental variables on the ecological processes provided by Zostera noltei meadows [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 The present study aims to assess the plastic response of Zostera noltei meadows traits under spatio-temporal shifts in salinity combined with sediment environmental variables (temperature; pH; loss-on-ignition (LOI); carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) pools ...
