Vulnerability of Zostera marina seedlings to physical stress (2010, background): “Recolonization of larger areas, therefore, depends primarily on seed dispersal and the subsequent growth of seedlings (Olesen & Sand-Jensen 1994, Plus et al. 2003, Greve et al. 2005, Jarvis & Moore 2010).”
Burial of seeds and seedlings by the lugworm Arenicola marina hampers eelgrass (Zostera marina) recovery (2011, background): “The seed bank is critical for the reproductive cycle of seagrasses since it represents the recolonization potential (Jarvis and Moore, 2010; Orth et al., 2006) and eelgrass recovery after large scale disturbance may occur exclusively from seeds (Greve et al., 2005; Lee et al., 2007; Plus et al.,…”
Seed addition facilitates eelgrass recovery in a coastal bay system (2012, background): “These natural re - cruitment processes can be important for bed persistence, especially after diebacks due to stressful events such as unusually high summertime temperatures (Jarvis & Moore 2010), high turbidity events due to phytoplankton blooms (Dennison et al. 1989), or storms (Williams 1988).”
