Interaction between Ammonium Toxicity and Green Tide Development Over Seagrass Meadows: A Laboratory Study. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Eutrophication affects seagrasses negatively by increasing light attenuation through stimulation of biomass of fast-growing, bloom-forming algae and because high concentrations of ammonium in the water can be toxic to higher plants.

Effects of ocean acidification and hydrodynamic conditions on carbon metabolism and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) fluxes in seagrass populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Global change has been acknowledged as one of the main threats to the biosphere and its provision of ecosystem services, especially in marine ecosystems.

An Integrative Approach to Assess and Map Zostera noltei Meadows Along the Romanian Black Sea Coast

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Seagrass meadows, including those formed by Zostera noltei, play a crucial role in marine ecosystem health by providing habitat stability and coastal protection. In the Romanian Black Sea, Z. noltei meadows are critically endangered due to pressures from

New insights on the species-specific allelopathic interactions between macrophytes and marine HAB dinoflagellates. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
Macrophytes are known to release allelochemicals that have the ability to inhibit the proliferation of their competitors. Here, we investigated the effects of the fresh leaves of two magnoliophytes (Zostera noltei and Cymodocea nodosa) and thalli of the ...

Latitudinal Patterns in European Seagrass Carbon Reserves: Influence of Seasonal Fluctuations versus Short-Term Stress and Disturbance Events [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Seagrass meadows form highly productive and valuable ecosystems in the marine environment. Throughout the year, seagrass meadows are exposed to abiotic and biotic variations linked to (i) seasonal fluctuations, (ii) short-term stress events such as, e.g.,

Seasonal Growth Dynamics and Blue Carbon Storage of the Intertidal Seagrass Zostera noltei [PDF]

The primary objective of this study was to assess the carbon assimilation potential of a bed of the intertidal seagrass, Zostera noltei, at Spurn Point on the East Yorkshire coastline at the mouth of the Humber Estuary. This population of seagrass, prior to this report, had not been subject to scientific investigation since 1936.

Regional and local variability in the morphometric traits of two emblematic seagrass species (Zostera marina and Zostera noltei) along the French coast

Peer Community Journal
Zostera marina and Zostera noltei are two foundation species that play a crucial role in the functioning of coastal ecosystems. They occur in a wide range of environmental conditions over a large geographical area in the northern hemisphere.

Small-scale patches of detritus as habitat for invertebrates within a Zostera noltei meadow [PDF]

Marine Environmental Research, 2021
Seagrass detritus can attract numerous invertebrates as it provides food and substrate within the meadow or in adjacent environments. Nonetheless, several factors could modify the invertebrate response to this habitat. In this study, we tested if epifaunal colonisation of Zostera noltei detritus was related to substrate availability rather than food ...

The role of environment descriptors and seagrass biometrics in shaping macrobenthic assemblages’ structure in intertidal Zostera noltei meadows [PDF]

Marine Environmental Research
The present study describes macroinvertebrate assemblages in three Zostera noltei meadows, following a salinity gradient along the Aveiro lagoon (Portugal). The main environmental descriptors and Z. noltei biometrics were studied to provide a model of the multivariate macroinvertebrate assemblage structure. The macroinvertebrate assemblage structure in
