Download or read book Intertidal and Subtidal Eelgrass Zostera Marina L Transplant Studies in San Diego Bay California written by Harold Walton Goforth and published by . This book was released on 1980 with total page 29 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seagrass beds are frequently impacted by shallow water marine construction projects. A variety of seagrass transplant methods have been developed with varying degrees of success. Few studies however, have developed methods that are economical or applicable to large scale subtidal and intertidal transplants (i.e., greater than 0.5 hectare). This paper describes the development of a rapid and successful method of revegetating large areas using plugs of vegetative stock transplanted in biodegradable fiber pots. The use of fiber pots improves success by keeping the root-thizome-substrate complex intact, reducing damage during handling, providing a substrate for anaerobic sediment bacteria, and reducing the initial loss of transplants resulting from erosion. A 2.5 year pilot study involving a transplant of 46.5 sq m of subtidal vegetative stock demonstrated success of: 46% for 1,331 sq cm plugs, 35% for 410 sq cm plugs and less than 7% for 182 sq cm plugs. After 1.5 years, the number of emergent rhizomes from the two largest plugs sizes (i.e., 5.5 for 1,331 sq cm plugs and 6.3 for 410 sq cm plugs) were not significantly different (p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thorough and informative volume presents a set of detailed, globally applicable techniques for seagrass research.The book provides methods for all aspects of seagrass science from basic plant collection to statistical approaches and investigations of plant-animal interaction. The emphasis is on methods that are applicable in both developing and developed countries. The importance of seagrasses in coastal and near shore environments, and ultimately their contribution to the productivity of the world's oceans, has become increasingly recognised over the last 40 years.Seagrasses provide food for sea turtles, nearly 100 fish species, waterfowl and for the marine mammals the manatee and dugong. Seagrasses also support complex food webs by virtue of their physical structure and primary production and are well known for their role as breeding grounds and nurseries for important crustacean, finfish and shell fish populations. Seagrasses are the basis of an important detrital food chain. The plants filter nutrients and contaminants from the water, stabilise sediments and act as dampeners to wave action. Seagrasses rank with coral reefs and mangroves as some of the world's most productive coastal habitat and strong linkages among these habitats make the loss of seagrasses a contributing factor in the degradation of the world's oceans.Contributors from around the world provide up-to-date methods for comparable collection of ecological information from both temperate and tropical seagrass ecosystems.

Download or read book Managing Seagrasses for Resilience to Climate Change written by Mats Björk and published by IUCN. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seagrasses are flowering plants that thrive in shallow oceanic and estuarine waters around the world. Although there are only about 60 species of seagrasses worldwide, these plants play an important role in many shallow, near-shore, marine ecosystems. There is growing evidence that seagrasses are declining globally because of anthropogenic impacts. This paper presents an overview of seagrasses, the impacts of climate change, and other threats to seagrass habitats. Finally, it proposes tools and strategies for managers to help support seagrass resilience.
