The Banc d'Arguin, a non-estuarine area of shallows and intertidal flats off the tropical
Saharan coast of Mauritania, is characterised by extensive intertidal and subtidal seagrass …

A common symptom of eutrophication in temperate estuaries is the proliferation of
ephemeral, floating macroalgae. Information on the effects of blooms on underlying …

Invertebrate gleaning (walking) fisheries are common within intertidal seagrass meadows
globally, contributing to the food supply of hundreds of millions of people, but understanding …

Seagrass meadows and their associated biodiverse assemblages have declined globally
due to environmental and anthropogenic stressors. Restoration of these critical habitats has …

The distribution and importance of eelgrass (Zostera marina L.) meadows for associated
faunal communities in the coastal waters of the Baltic Sea are still poorly known. In these low …

Whereas it is well known that ecosystem engineers can have a large influence on
biodiversity, underlying mechanisms are still not fully clear. We try to enhance insight by …

We report primary production and respiration of Posidonia oceanica meadows determined
with the non-invasive aquatic eddy covariance technique. Oxygen fluxes were measured in …

Ecological restoration has become an important management-tool to counteract the
widespread losses of seagrass meadows and their associated biodiversity. In the Dutch …

There is an increasing need to model the distribution of species and habitats for effective
conservation planning, but there is a paucity of models for the marine environment. We used …

Marine isopods of the genus Idotea [I. balthica (Pallas, 1772), I. chelipes (Pallas, 1766), and
I. granulosa Rathke, 1843] are common meso-grazers that enter deep into the Baltic Sea …
