Coexistence 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 کاملMeristematic oxygen variability in eelgrass (Zostera marina)
We examined the variability in oxygen content of meristematic tissues in eelgrass in order to evaluate its potential role in events of sudden mass mortality within eelgrass beds. Oxygen content within intact eelgrass plants could be described by use of microelectrode techniques at high temporal and spatial resolution in the laboratory and in the field. Under both situations, the meristematic ox...
متن کاملComposition of the Epifaunal Community Associated with the Seagrass Zostera marina in San Quintin Bay, Baja California
—The epifaunal community associated with eelgrass beds in San Quintin Bay, Baja California, Mexico, was studied from April to November 1993. Taxonomic identification, univariate community descriptors, and biomass data were obtained for each sample. Multivariate analyses of community composition were also performed, and plant–animal relationships were analyzed. The epifaunal community was charac...
متن کاملEcological impacts of genotypic diversity in the clonal seagrass Zostera marina.
Genetic diversity, like species diversity, can have important consequences for communities and ecosystems. However, little is known about whether the effects of genetic diversity demonstrated in experimental assemblages are of sufficient strength to generate patterns in natural systems. We conducted a survey of eelgrass (Zostera marina) to examine the correlation between eelgrass clonal diversi...
متن کاملGenetic relatedness influences plant biomass accumulation in eelgrass (Zostera marina).
In multispecies assemblages, phylogenetic relatedness often predicts total community biomass. In assemblages dominated by a single species, increasing the number of genotypes increases total production, but the role of genetic relatedness is unknown. We used data from three published experiments and a field survey of eelgrass (Zostera marina), a habitat-forming marine angiosperm, to examine the...
