First Phytochemical Evidence of Chemotypes for the Seagrass Zostera noltii.
The variability of the flavonoid content of two populations of Z. noltii from different geographical zones, i.e., the Bay of Arcachon and the Bay of Cadiz, was evaluated. Samples were collected in spring and autumn at the two sites, and extracts were prepared by maceration in water. The phenolic content was fully characterized using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), UV and Liquid Chromatography...
متن کاملCoexistence between Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in seagrass beds of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan
Background: There have been many studies on the growth conditions of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica, but few studies have examined how spatial and temporal factors affect growth in established seagrass beds or the distribution range and shoot density. This study aims to clarify the factors that determine the temporal and spatial distribution of Zostera marina and Zostera japonica in the Se...
متن کاملLong-term displacement of intertidal seagrass and mussel beds by expanding large sandy bedforms in the northern Wadden Sea
a r t i c l e i n f o On aerial photographs, sandy tidal flats display (1) large sandy bedforms (N10 m long, N 3 m wide), indicating effects of strong hydrodynamics on sediment relief, and (2) beds of seagrass and mussels, indicating stable sediment conditions. These physical and biogenic structures have been mapped from aerial photographs taken in a back-barrier tidal basin of the North Sea co...
متن کاملEffects of water dynamics on Zostera marina: transplantation experiments in the intertidal Dutch Wadden Sea
Pilot experiments in the tidally dominated Dutch Wadden Sea indicated a negative relationship between Zostera marina L. transplantation success and tidal depths. As light availability was sufficient, we hypothesised that water dynamics (particularly waves) and ensuing sediment mobility (movement or resuspension of the sediment) were the major cause for the loss of transplants at larger depths. ...
متن کاملAn evaluation of small-scale genetic diversity and the mating system in Zostera noltii on an intertidal sandflat in the Wadden Sea.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The dwarf eelgrass, Zostera noltii, is a predominant inhabitant of soft-bottom intertidal regions along the coasts of northern Europe. It is a monoecious, protogynous angiosperm in which the potential for self-fertilization and inbreeding are high, especially if clone sizes exceed pollen dispersal distances. The aim of the present study was to determine the relationship betw...
