Accurate estimation of connectivity among populations is fundamental for determining the
drivers of population resilience, genetic diversity, adaptation and speciation. However the …

Despite the importance of coastal ecosystems for the global carbon budgets, knowledge of
their carbon storage capacity and the factors driving variability in storage capacity is still …

Nearshore foundation species in coastal and estuarine systems (eg, salt marsh grasses,
mangroves, seagrasses, corals) drive the ecological functions of ecosystems and entire …

Seagrasses form the foundation of many coastal ecosystems but are rapidly declining on a
global scale. The Dutch Wadden Sea once supported extensive subtidal seagrass meadows …

Due to the major declines of seagrasses worldwide, there is an urgent need for effective
restoration methods and strategies. In the Dutch Wadden Sea, intertidal seagrass restoration …

Seagrass meadows provide a wide variety of ecosystem goods and services (biodiversity
maintenance, carbon sequestration, sediment oxygenation and enrichment, filtering, coastal …

Seagrasses are important components of global coastal ecosystems, and the eelgrass
Zostera marina L. is widely distributed along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts in the temperate …

Sexual reproduction is critical to the resilience of seagrass beds impacted by habitat
degradation or environmental changes, as robust seed banks allow new shoots to establish …

For clonal plants, the role of sexual reproduction in the maintenance of populations can vary
widely. Some species are dependent on repeated seedling recruitment. For other species …

Seagrasses are declining globally, and deeper understanding is needed on the recruitment
potential and distribution of new populations for many threatened species to support …
