Interactive effects of co-occurring anthropogenic stressors on the seagrass, Zostera noltei

Ecological Indicators, 2020
Abstract Coastal ecosystems are subjected to multiple co-occurring anthropogenic stressors which potentially interact to produce complex impacts on the structure and functioning of biological communities. Seagrass meadows are among the most rapidly declining coastal habitats on Earth.

Current distribution of Zostera seagrass meadows along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast (SW Black Sea, Bulgaria) (2010-2020) [PDF]

Biodiversity Data Journal, 2022
The current distribution of Zostera spp. seagrass meadows along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast was studied. We used a combination of historical and recent observations of the habitat along the studied coastline.

Effect of Ecological Recovery on Macrophyte Dominance and Production in the Venice Lagoon

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
In the last decade, the Venice Lagoon showed a significant environmental recovery that changed the assemblages of macroalgal and aquatic angiosperm dominant species and significantly increased the primary production.

Seagrasses benefit from mild anthropogenic nutrient additions

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Seagrasses are declining globally, in large part due to increased anthropogenic coastal nutrient loads that enhance smothering by macroalgae, attenuate light, and are toxic when in excessive concentrations of inorganic nitrogen and phosphorus.

Exploring the newly emerging effects of native seagrasses on survival and growth of non-native juvenile clams

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) has been introduced into the Atlantic European coast for commercial exploitation. In this region, the population dynamics of this clam species may be determined by the interaction with the native dwarf eelgrass ...

A comparative evaluation of biological activities and bioactive compounds of the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera noltei from southern Portugal [PDF]

Natural Product Research, 2015
This work assessed the antioxidant potential, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition and the in vitro cytotoxic activity of extracts of the seagrasses Zostera marina and Zostera noltei collected from southern Portugal. The total phenolic contents (TPCs), the rosmarinic acid (RA) concentration (HPLC/DAD) and the fatty acid (FA) profile (GC/MS) are also ...

Long-term analysis of Zostera noltei: A retrospective approach for understanding seagrasses' dynamics

Marine Environmental Research, 2017
Long-term studies are necessary to establish trends and to understand seagrasses' spatial and temporal dynamic. Nevertheless, this type of research is scarce, as the required databases are often unavailable. The objectives of this study are to create a method for mapping the seagrass Zostera noltei using remote sensing techniques, and to apply it to ...

Réhabilitation du DPM : Cartographie des herbiers à Zostera noltei avant travaux. Secteur des Moussettes [PDF]

, 2022
Le projet IDHEBARC s’intéresse à l’impact potentiel des travaux maritimes (nettoyage des friches ostréicoles, dragage des ports, …) sur les herbiers de zostères du Bassin d’Arcachon. Ce projet pluriannuel comporte des actions de modélisation hydrosédimentaire visant à cartographier l’intensité des impacts potentiels, et un suivi de l’évolution de l ...

Interspecific relationship of patchiness to occupancy and abundance, as exemplified by seagrass macrobenthos

Ecological Indicators, 2021
The macroecological abundance-occupancy relationship is well known; not so the potential one of patchiness with either or both. Following earlier work on the intertidal seagrass Zostera capensis in South Africa, interspecific macrofaunal patchiness ...

Biomonitoring environmental status in semi-enclosed coastal ecosystems using Zostera noltei meadows

Ecological Indicators, 2019
Semi enclosed waters, such as estuaries and lagoons, are vulnerable ecosystems that are experiencing persistent trace element (TE) contamination. Seagrasses have been reported worldwide as valuable bioindicator species for coastal contamination monitoring purpose.
