Assessment of Risks Associated with Extreme Climate Events in Small-Scale Bivalve Fisheries: Conceptual Maps for Decision-Making Based on a Review of Recent Studies

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Extreme climate events, such as heatwaves and torrential rain, affect the physiology and functioning of marine species, especially in estuarine habitats, producing severe ecological and socioeconomic impacts when the affected species support important ...

Quantifying direct and indirect linkages between seagrasses, environment and associated macrofauna in a temperate lagoon

Marine Ecology, Volume 45, Issue 2, April 2024.
Abstract Seagrass ecosystems play a vital role in marine environments, providing essential services, including physical habitat that supports a species diversity critical to robust trophic structures. However, seagrass loss due to various influences raises concerns about the persistence of these ecosystems.

Recovery of the Seagrass Zostera noltei and Commercial Bivalve Populations After Shellfish Harvesting

Estuaries and Coasts
AbstractConservation efforts have raised awareness about the impact of small-scale fisheries on the distribution of seagrass plants. The patterns of recovery of the seagrass Zostera noltei and of the commercial bivalves Cerastoderma edule, Ruditapes decussatus and Ruditapes philippinarum after shellfish harvesting were studied in a field experiment in ...

Environmental drivers of flowering in the genus Zostera and spatio‐temporal variability of Zostera muelleri flowering in Australasia

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Seed‐based seagrass restoration strategies demand precise understanding of the environmental drivers influencing flowering. Flowering varies across diverse spatial and temporal scales, yet environmental drivers' effects on these dynamics have received less attention. Lack of knowledge regarding this life‐history stage limits the advancement of

Recovery of a Halodule wrightii donor meadow

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2024.
Few restoration studies have quantified the recovery of the donor meadow. We evaluated the recovery of a monospecific donor meadow of Halodule wrightii, the second most commonly used transplanting species, and assessed the possible effect of 24 plots of 1 m2 placed in an approximately 3,400 m2 large monospecific meadow with a mean cover of 45%, foliar ...

Seasonal Growth Dynamics and Blue Carbon Storage of the Intertidal Seagrass Zostera noltei

, 2023
The primary objective of this study was to assess the carbon assimilation potential of a bed of the intertidal seagrass, Zostera noltei, at Spurn Point on the East Yorkshire coastline at the mouth of the Humber Estuary. This population of seagrass, prior to this report, had not been subject to scientific investigation since 1936.

A survey-based assessment of seagrass status, management and legislation in Europe

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2014
INTRODUCTION Seagrass meadows are common ecosystems along the European coastline (Green and Short, 2003), providing a wide range of valuable ecosystems services (e.g. Barbier et al., 2011, Cullen-Unsworth et al., 2013).

Legacy effects of an atmospheric heatwave are buffered by mutualistic interactions between intertidal clams and seagrass

Frontiers in Marine Science
More intense and frequent atmospheric heatwaves in the future may reduce the growth and survival of intertidal organisms. However, interspecific facilitative interactions can buffer legacy effects of thermal stress and favor recovery of the affected ...

Short Term CO2 Enrichment Increases Carbon Sequestration of Air-Exposed Intertidal Communities of a Coastal Lagoon

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
In situ production responses of air-exposed intertidal communities under CO2 enrichment are reported here for the first time. We assessed the short-term effects of CO2 on the light responses of the net community production (NCP) and community respiration
