Ecosystem metabolism along a colonization gradient of eelgrass (Zostera marina) measured by eddy correlation
The Virginia coastal bays experienced local extinction of eelgrass (Zostera marina) during the early 1930s, and restoration beginning in 2001 has generated an ecosystem state change from bare to vegetated sediments. Oxygen fluxes were measured seasonally using the eddy correlation technique at three sites representing different stages of seagrass colonization: unvegetated (bare), 5 yr, and 11 y...
متن کاملEffect of a seagrass (Posidonia oceanica) meadow on wave propagation
We demonstrate the utility of using the equivalent bottom roughness for calculating the friction factor and the drag coefficient of a seagrass meadow for conditions in which the meadow height is small compared to the water depth. Wave attenuation induced by the seagrass Posidonia oceanica is evaluated using field data from bottom-mounted acoustic doppler veloci meters (ADVs). Using the data fro...
متن کاملSeasonal Growth and Senescence of a Zostera marina Seagrass Meadow AltersWave-Dominated Flow and Sediment Suspension Within a Coastal Bay
Tidally driven flows, waves, and suspended sediment concentrations were monitored seasonally within a Zostera marina seagrass (eelgrass) meadow located in a shallow (1–2 m depth) coastal bay. Eelgrass meadows were found to reduce velocities approximately 60 % in the summer and 40 % in the winter compared to an adjacent unvegetated site. Additionally, the seagrass meadow served to dampen wave he...
متن کاملThe balance of nutrient losses and gains in seaccrass meadows
Seagrasses abound in the dynamic environment of shallow marine waters. From the often high annual biomass production it can be deduced that seagrass meadows have high requirements for inorganic nutrients, although the nutrient demands will be met to some extent by internal recycling. A series of processes lead to nutrient losses from the seagrass bed. Export of leaves and leaf fragments with cu...
متن کاملThresholds of irradiance for seagrass Posidonia oceanica meadow metabolism
Meadows of the endemic seagrass Posidonia oceanica are threatened in the Mediterranean due to a general deterioration of the light environment that becomes critical when light irradiance is insufficient to meet the carbon requirements of the system. Here, we conduct a 3 wk, in situ shading experiment (8 levels plus controls) to determine the threshold of irradiance for balanced metabolism in a ...
