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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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.
