recommendations! Published in 2025 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70092

Abstract: Seagrass meadows serve as nursery and permanent habitat for numerous fish species—an ecosystem function influenced by structural complexity. Rapid seagrass loss over recent decades has promoted restoration efforts aimed at recovering meadows and their ecological… read more here.

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: 10.1007/s00227-019-3559-4

Abstract: Highly dynamic environments such as estuaries are home to organisms accustomed to wide fluctuations in environmental conditions. However, estuarine temperature and salinity conditions are expected to shift with climate change, potentially altering plant and animal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquabot.2018.10.002

Abstract: Abstract Photosystem II (PSII) herbicides are widely used and commonly detected in coastal environments and seagrass beds are often exposed to these herbicides. While acute inhibition of seagrass photosynthesis by PSII herbicides has been shown,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.aquaculture.2018.08.046

Abstract: Abstract The marine, intertidal zone is the optimal environment for eelgrass (Zostera spp.) and bivalve aquaculture. Eelgrass is a valuable and protected nearshore habitat. It is important to understand how bivalve aquaculture interacts with eelgrass… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of environmental management"

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: 10.1111/1462-2920.16582

Abstract: Host-associated microbes influence host health and function and can be a first line of defence against infections. While research increasingly shows that terrestrial plant microbiomes contribute to bacterial, fungal, and oomycete disease resistance, no comparable… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2024 at "Global Ecology and Biogeography"

DOI: 10.1111/geb.13918

Abstract: Biogenic structural complexity increases mobile animal richness and abundance at local, regional and global scales, yet animal taxa vary in their response to complexity. When these taxa also vary functionally, habitat structures favouring certain taxa… read more here.

recommendations! Published in 2018 at "Oikos"

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.

DOI: 10.1121/1.4988972

Abstract: Eelgrass and various macroalgae play important roles in temperate coastal ecosystems, including as habitat for many species, and as a bio-indicator for water quality. However, in turbid or deeper waters, the optical remote sensing methods… read more here.
