• Seed addition facilitates eelgrass recovery in a coastal bay system (2012, background): “Seedling establishment was assessed in smaller-scale experimental plots by complete counts of seedlings (Orth et al. 2003, Marion & Orth 2010b, R. J. Orth unpubl. data).”
• Vulnerability of Zostera marina seedlings to physical stress (2010, background): “However, only 5 to 15% of seeds germinate to produce seedlings the following spring (Harrison 1993, Orth et al. 2003), resulting in low seedling density (0.2 to 26 m–2) outside established beds (Olesen & Sand-Jensen 1994, Greve et al. 2005, Boese & Robbins 2008).”
• Ecology of Seagrass Seeds and Seagrass Dispersal Processes (2007, background): “Although natural seed mortality is generally high (Harrison, 1993; Orth et al., 2003), the potential exists for increasing survivorship with innovative techniques (e.”
