Role of food web interactions in promoting resilience to nutrient enrichment in a brackish water eelgrass (Zostera marina) ecosystem
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Limnology and Oceanography"
DOI: 10.1002/lno.11792
Abstract: Understanding the ecological interactions that enhance the resilience of threatened ecosystems is essential in assuring their conservation and restoration. Top‐down trophic interactions can increase resilience to bottom‐up nutrient enrichment, however, as many seagrass ecosystems are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.109898
Abstract: Eelgrass beds are highly productive and support diverse faunal assemblages; they also take in nutrients from the water and prevent excessive phytoplankton growth in eutrophic coastal waters through the reduction of available nutrients. Despite its… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2211134119
Abstract: How do species evolve into foundational roles in ecosystems, and what is the prognosis for them in a changing ocean? Seagrasses, or marine angiosperms, have examples of foundational species that have become widespread throughout the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/oik.04471
Abstract: Seagrass meadows are among the world's most productive ecosystems, and as in many other systems, genetic diversity is correlated with increased production. However, only a small fraction of seagrass production is directly consumed, and instead… read more here.
