Seagrass recovery trajectories and recovery potential in relation to nutrient reduction

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1784-1804, August 2024.
Within a large seascape (15,000 km2) the least eutrophicated region showed seagrass recovery upon nutrient reduction. We translated the critical riverine nutrient loads for this recovery, via regional eutrophication indicators, to loads that may enable a sustained recovery in the other regions.

Decadal increase in the ecological status of a North-Atlantic intertidal seagrass meadow observed with multi-mission satellite time-series

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Seagrass meadows are monitored in the frame of several environmental programs worldwide, including the Water Framework Directive (WFD), to evaluate the ecological status of European coastal and transitional water bodies.

One hundred priority questions for advancing seagrass conservation in Europe

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 3, Page 587-603, May 2024.
Seagrass ecosystems are of fundamental importance to our planet and wellbeing. Seagrasses are marine flowering plants which engineer ecosystems that provide a multitude of ecosystem services, for example, blue foods and carbon sequestration. Seagrass ecosystems have largely been degraded across much of their global range.

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.

Profiling of Phenolic Natural Products in the Seagrass by UPLC-MS

Natural Product Communications, 2017
Seagrasses are marine plants that play important ecological functions in coastal ecosystems. The species Zostera noltei is widely distributed along the European coasts thriving in a variety of environmental conditions. In this study, the phenolic natural
