Remote sensing in seagrass ecology: coupled dynamics between migratory herbivorous birds and intertidal meadows observed by satellite during four decades

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 9, Issue 3, Page 420-433, June 2023., 2023
Trophic interactions in seagrass meadows have been rarely investigated over the long‐term and at the scale of a whole seagrass habitat. In this work, reciprocal links between an intertidal seagrass species, Zostera noltei, and an herbivorous bird feeding on this seagrass species, the migratory goose Branta bernicla bernicla, were investigated using an ...

Predicted regime shift in the seagrass ecosystem of the Gulf of Arguin driven by climate change

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
The Banc d′Arguin is a marine ecosystem of global conservation significance, the largest bird sanctuary of western Africa, supported by one of the most extensive seagrass beds in the world composed by three seagrass species, two temperate near their ...

Long‐term coastal macrobenthic Community Trajectory Analysis reveals habitat‐dependent stability patterns

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 6, June 2023., 2023
Long‐term monitoring programs are fundamental to detect changes in ecosystem health and understand ecological processes. In the current context of increasing anthropogenic threats on marine ecosystems, understanding the dynamics and response of communities becomes essential.

Value of coastal habitats to commercial fisheries in Jersey, English Channel, and the role of marine protected areas

Fisheries Management and Ecology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 734-744, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Fisheries are in decline worldwide, and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) are being advocated as tools that can not only protect and restore biodiversity but also improve fisheries sustainability and protect fisher livelihoods. To understand the role of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in underpinning commercial fisheries, this study demonstrates the

Where, when, how and what seagrass to transplant for long lasting results in transitional water systems: the cases of Cymodocea nodosa, Zostera marina, Zostera noltei and Ruppia cirrhosa

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Seagrasses play a vital role in marine ecosystems worldwide. However, until recently these ecosystems were experiencing declines due to various global and local threats. In response to this issue, initiatives have been launched to combat seagrass loss by

How can Sentinel‐2 contribute to seagrass mapping in shallow, turbid Baltic Sea waters?

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 328-346, June 2022., 2022
Sentinel‐2 provides unprecedented information on seagrass distribution in the Western Baltic Sea between 0 and 5‐m water depths. Classification results and accuracies are similar using only atmospherically or additionally water‐column corrected reflectance data. The turbid waters limit analyses to water depths less than 5 m.

Carbon sequestration loss following Zostera noltei decline in the Arcachon Bay (France) [PDF]

Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2016
Abstract The worldwide decline of seagrass meadows may result in the loss of relevant ecosystem services such as the carbon sequestration within marine ecosystems. In this paper, net primary production (NPP) of Zostera noltei meadows was assessed in the Arcachon Bay (SW France) with the aim of understanding the impact of meadows decline on C ...
