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.

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

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

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 ...

Latitudinal Variation into the Macrofaunal Assemblages Associated to Zostera noltei Seagrass along the Atlantic Coast of Morocco

International Journal of Zoology, 2021
Large-scale research on seagrass-associated benthic fauna is very important for future regional marine conservation. In our study, we investigated spatial and latitudinal variation of benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages associated to Zostera noltei ...

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 ...

Effects of short flexible seagrass Zostera noltei on flow, erosion and deposition processes determined using flume experiments [PDF]

Sedimentology, 2014
AbstractInnovative flume experiments were conducted in a recirculating straight flume. Zostera noltei meadows were sampled in their natural bed sediments in the field at contrasting stages of their seasonal growth. The aims of this study were: (i) to quantify the combined effects of leaf flexibility and development characteristics of Zostera noltei ...

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).
