Estuarine macrophytes are proposed to influence ocean acidification and hypoxia(OAH)via the uptake(release)of inorganic carbon(oxygen)during photosynthesis.The extent to which macrophytes mitigate OAH in estuaries dep...

In recent years, extreme heat events have occurred worldwide and the ocean temperature has been rising, causing stress on the photosynthesis and growth of seagrass. Metabolomics enables detection of metabolic changes ...
Short-term tidal and diel variations of autumn fish assemblage in a Zostera marina bed were investigated using 3 h interval samplings for 24 h in both spring and neap tide using a small beam trawl.A total of 1 346 fis...
Spatial and temporal characteristics of Zostera marina (eelgrass) in the Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary are compared before (2004-2011) and after (2012-2013) major fertilizer legislation (Fertilizer Law A2290)...

We present a GIS-based habitat suitability index(HSI) model to identify suitable areas for Zostera marina L. restoration in the subtidal zone of Xiaoheishan Island. The controlling factors in the model,in order of imp...
Eelgrass species worldwide are valued for the ecosystem service they provide to estuarine and marine habitats. One species, Zostera japonica, however, has some negative impacts outside its native range and is consider...

Aquatic vegetation can influence the transport of sediment and contaminants by changing the mean velocity and turbulent flow structure in channels. It is important to understand the hydraulics of the flows over vegeta...
The eelgrass ( Zostera marina L.) was treated with artificial seawater (ASW) of different salinities ( 100%, 150% and 200% seawater) for 5 d. The activities of two enzymes extracted from the plant leaves were determin...
