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.,

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

Influence of Zostera marina L. and Z. noltei Hornem. (Zosterales: Liliopsida) on the composition, species richness and coenotic diversity of the phytobenthos of the Azov Sea [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences, 2021
The influence of marine higher plants Zostera marina and Z. noltei on the composition, species richness and coenotic diversity of the phytobenthos of sandy and silty soils of the Taman Bay in the Azov Sea at the depths from 0.5 to 3 m has been ...

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

Ecol 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 ...

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.

Seagrasses of West Africa: New Discoveries, Distribution Limits and Prospects for Management

Diversity, 2022
The onset of a major seagrass initiative in West Africa enabled important seagrass discoveries in several countries, in one of the least documented seagrass regions in the world.

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

Biology 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]

Caspian 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 ...

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 ...

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

Journal 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.
