Experimental studies of interactions between Zostera marina and the associated benthic fauna
… of eelgrass plants from plants within the Zostera bed; (3) Measure the seasonal variation of eelgrass turion length over an annual cycle and determine its correlation to biomass (dry weight); (4) Examine, by means of field experiments, the importance of incident solar irradiation in …

Acclimation of marine macrophytes (Saccharina latissima and Zostera marina) to water flow
… alga Saccharina latissima and the angiosperm Zostera marina, to water flow in nature and in controlled experiments. Limitation of photosynthesis of both species by the availability of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) was increased under low current velocities. Physiological acclimation to low …

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Photochemistry of <i>Zostera Marina</i> L.
… and survival of the temperate eelgrass <em>Zostera marina L</em>., but the acclimation of photoprotective mechanisms in this context has not been characterized. This study aimed to quantify the long-term impacts of ocean acidification on photochemical control mechanisms that promote …

Studies of the horizontal and vertical distributional patterns of diatoms epiphytic on eel grass, Zostera marina L.
… periodicity of diatoms epiphytic on eelgrass, Zostera marina L., in the vicinity of Gloucester Point, Virginia. Samples were collected in August 1963 and June and July 1964. Horizontal and vertical distributional patterns were demonstrated with respect to the change of total numbers of …

Physiological and Molecular Responses of Eurythermal and Stenothermal Populations of <i>Zostera Marina</i> L (Eelgrass) to Climate Change
… populations of cosmopolitan species such as <em>Zostera marina</em> L. (eelgrass) remains largely unknown. This study analyzed whole-plant performance metabolic profiles and gene expression patterns of distinct eelgrass populations in response to CO<sub>2</sub> enrichment. Populations were …

Evaluating eelgrass (Zostera marina) as a juvenile habitat for rockfishes : contributions of site characteristics and larval supply to juvenile abundance
… conservation planning. In this study, the use of Zostera marina beds in Barkley Sound by juvenile rockfishes (Sebastes spp.) was investigated. Rockfish have been observed in Z. marina beds by many researchers, however, their abundance and distribution between beds has been shown to be variable. …

On the life history, systematics and ecology of Ruppia maritima L. (Potamogetonaceae) in lower Chesapeake Bay
… Bay, Ruppia maritima L. (Potamogetonaceae) and Zostera marina L. (Zosteraceae) form an important submerged aquatic vegetation community. Research in Chesapeake Bay has focused primarily on Zostera marina. Ruppia maritima occurs abundantly in large monospecific stands as well as in mixed stands …

Water Flow and Sediment Texture as Co-Varying Submersed Aquatic Vegetation (SAV) Habitat Requirements
… was conducted to test the response of SAV (Zostera marina and Ruppia maritima) to combinations of water flows and sediment grain sizes characterized by sediment deposition, bedload transport and erosion. Water flow, sediment and SAV characteristics were also determined at vegetated and …

Sexual dimorphism, resource partitioning and intraspecific aggression in Caprella californica Stimpson
… 1970), and is the dominant caprellid in the Zostera marina beds of the local bays and is a major diet item for many of the eel grass associated fishes. There is a preponderance of females in the population as well as a size-specific distribution of the proportion of the sexes.</p>

The influence of current and ripple development on seagrass transplant survival
… in the survival of newly transplanted seagrass, Zostera marina rhizome fragments with living shoots were transplanted into a sediment bed and exposed to unidirectional flow in a flume. In accordance with planting techniques reported to improve restoration performance, garden staples were utilized …

On the hydrodynamics of flexible vegetation canopies
… the evaluation of the common seagrass species, Zostera marina, which is present along coastlines globally. Although previous research has recognised canopy properties as key drivers in the modulation of flow and turbulence processes, the quantified influence of canopy flexural rigidity remains …

Feedbacks between plants, flow, and particle fate
… characteristics on the genotypic diversity of Zostera marina canopies was explored, pointing to the physical mechanisms governing successful pollination.

Quantification of Nitrate Sources and Sinks Using a Water Quality Network in Morro Bay Estuary, California
… of the discharge. Denitrification, <em>Zostera marina,</em> and benthic macroalgae assimilation of nitrate were the dominant internal biological processes for removal and retention, but were only 35% of the total nitrate budget.</p> <p>The second objective was to investigate the impact …

The Influence of Multiple Scales of Environmental Context on the Distribution and Interaction of an Invasive Seagrass and its Native Congener
… introduced range, the invasive seagrass <italic>Zostera japonica</italic> often grows at higher elevations than its native congener, <italic>Zostera marina</italic>, but at some sites the congeners overlap. At overlapping sites, the two seagrasses often grow in a patch mosaic associated with …

Turbulence structure of a model seagrass meadow
… the geometric and dynamic behavior of natural Zostera marina communities allows the results to be extrapolated to the conditions in a coastal, tidal meadow. The results also serve as an important comparative case to the characterization of turbulence within atmospheric plant canopies. The …

Intertidal Seagrass Meadows in South West England: The Ecology of Expansion
… the spatial expansion of these newly-established Zostera marina meadows using Earth observation platforms. It further aims to define the spatio-temporal variability of the organic carbon (Corg) stocks through analysis of sediment cores, and the biodiversity of the macrobenthic assemblage within …

Desarrollo de herramientas basadas en angiospermas marinas para la evaluación del estado ecológico de masas de agua del sur de la Península Ibérica
Las praderas de angiospermas marinas son uno de los ecosistemas litorales más importantes del planeta, tanto por las funciones que desempeñan en el ecosistema, como por los servicios ecológicos que repercuten en la población humana. Por su ubicación en la zona litoral las angiospermas marinas están …
