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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Metabolic Response of Zostera Noltei Transplants in a Historically Contaminated Ecosystem

Journal of Environmental Management
In the midst of the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and newly approved EU Nature Restoration Law, ecosystem restoration efforts have gained momentum. Still, monitoring tools and early warning protocols to evaluate restoration success are necessary.

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 ...

Sentinel-2 remote sensing of Zostera noltei-dominated intertidal seagrass meadows

Remote Sensing of Environment, 2020
Accurate habitat mapping methods are urgently required for the monitoring, conservation, and management of blue carbon ecosystems and their associated services. This study focuses on exposed intertidal seagrass meadows, which play a major role in the functioning of nearshore ecosystems.

A Hotspot in the Romanian Black Sea: Eelgrass Beds Drive Local Biodiversity in Surrounding Bare Sediments

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Ecosystem engineers create habitat and provide conditions otherwise unavailable for the development of diverse communities. In marine soft-bottoms in particular, the biodiversity sustained by a matrix of relatively uniform sediments can be drastically ...

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Characterization of a resilient seagrass meadow during a decline period

Scientia Marina, 2018
Seagrasses are globally threatened ecosystems with essential ecological roles. An important limitation in seagrass conservation efforts is the poor understanding of resilient meadows. The present work studies a meadow, which maintained a large population

Tidal Inundation Decreases Carbon Dioxide Exchange in an Irish Atlantic Saltmarsh

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Despite the growing interest in carbon cycling in tidal‐wetland ecosystems we lack sufficient understanding of the degree to which saltmarsh ecosystems sequester carbon and the ecosystem dynamics of carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, especially with tidal influence.
