Decadal increase in the ecological status of a North-Atlantic intertidal seagrass meadow observed with multi-mission satellite time-series

Maria Laura Zoffoli et al.

Summary: Seagrass meadows are monitored using multi-mission satellite time-series to assess long-term changes, revealing increasing trends in seagrass extent and density since 1985 in Bourgneuf Bay on the French Atlantic coast.

Growth and reproductive responses of the seagrass Zostera marina to sediment nutrient enrichment

Le-Zheng Qin et al.

Summary: This study showed that Zostera marina is more sensitive to nitrogen enrichment in sediments, resulting in positive effects on both vegetative growth and sexual reproduction. Phosphorus enrichment only slightly increased plant growth with limited influence on sexual reproduction.

Anthropogenic pressures and life history predict trajectories of seagrass meadow extent at a global scale

Mischa P. Turschwell et al.

Summary: Seagrass meadows are facing threats from multiple anthropogenic pressures, with different species showing varying trends in different regions. Species with persistent life-history strategies are more likely to maintain or increase, while opportunistic species exhibit more unstable changes.

Historical Analysis Exposes Catastrophic Seagrass Loss for the United Kingdom

Alix E. Green et al.

Summary: The study analyzed the occurrence and loss of seagrass in the UK, finding a decrease in seagrass area since 1998 and significant historical losses that may have impacted carbon storage and fish populations. The results demonstrate vast scale of losses and highlight opportunities for restoring seagrass to support ecosystem services.

Long-term declines and recovery of meadow area across the world's seagrass bioregions

Jillian C. Dunic et al.

Summary: Seagrass meadows globally are facing increasing threats, with overall declining trends in area, although stabilization or reversal of trends has been observed in some bioregions. Studies have identified a variety of drivers influencing seagrass meadow changes, highlighting the need for a better understanding of causes to improve management.

Growth and flowering responses of eelgrass to simulated grazing and fecal addition by Brant Geese

Frank J. Shaughnessy et al.

Summary: Seagrasses benefit from moderate grazing and fecal pellet addition, which promotes shoot growth and increases reproductive shoot density. Moderate intensity grazing by Brant Geese also enhances shoot density, leaf extension rates, and productivity of eelgrass.

Sediment Characteristics Determine the Flowering Effort of Zostera noltei Meadows Inhabiting a Human-Dominated Lagoon

Laura Guerrero-Meseguer et al.

Summary: Recent studies have shown an increase in Zostera noltei meadows in areas modified by anthropogenic activities, but it is unclear if this expansion is linked to greater reproductive effort in the species. The research suggests that stress-induced flowering of Z. noltei may occur under specific environmental conditions, such as silty environments with organic enrichment.

Seagrass Meadows Provide a Significant Resource in Support of Avifauna

Richard K. F. Unsworth et al.

Summary: Seagrass meadows play a crucial role in supporting bird populations globally, but research on the interactions between seagrass and birds is lacking and requires further investigation to fill the gaps in knowledge.
