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

open access: yesJournal 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

Trait Plasticity and Warming Vulnerability in a Structurally Diverse Seagrass Ecosystem. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Zostera capensis in Langebaan Lagoon exhibits marked spatial and seasonal variation in morphology, driven by temperature, turbidity and tidal exposure. Field results show that small‐ and large‐leaved morphotypes reflect phenotypic plasticity in response to environmental gradients, with both forms approaching their upper thermal limits under ...

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

open access: yesMarine 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 ...

Diversity and Abundance Patterns of Benthic Invertebrate Assemblages on Intertidal Estuarine Seagrass Beds in Aveiro (Portugal)

open access: yesBiology and Life Sciences Forum, 2022
Seagrass meadows are productive ecosystems and many animal species are dependent on them, including a wide diversity of invertebrates. This study aims to explore spatial diversity patterns of benthic invertebrates associated with Zostera noltei.

Sediment-water interactions with eelgrass (Zostera spp.) from Sinop shores of the Black Sea [PDF]

open access: yesCaspian Journal of Environmental Sciences, 2020
This study is to provide information on levels of the elements in leaves and roots-rhizomes of Zostera marina and Zostera noltei, their surrounding sea water and sediments collected from Akliman and Türkeli coastal areas of Sinop city in the Black Sea ...

Rare Earth Elements in the Seagrass Zostera noltei and Sediments from the Black Sea Coast of Crimea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
In the present work, we assessed the contents of rare earth elements (REEs), including yttrium and scandium, in rhizomes and leaves of the widespread seagrass Zostera noltei Hornemann 1832 and in the nearby sediments from the Black Sea coast.

Nested Socio-Ecological Maps as a Spatial Planning Instrument for Estuary Conservation and Ecosystem-Based Management

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Estuaries are socio-ecological systems that can be represented as a holistic combination of biotic and abiotic conditions in spatially explicit units defined by: (i) the ecotope, as the integration of the physiotope (abiotic-homogeneous units) and the ...
