The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. III. Biogeographical and evolutionary consequences (2006, background): “Boström & Bonsdorff (2000) observed high individual turnover of species inhabiting a seagrass bed in the northern Baltic Sea and they suggested moving algae (albeit benthic drift algae) as a potential dispersal vector (see also Brooks & Bell 2001).”
Infauna fromZostera marina L. meadows in Norway. Differences in vegetated and unvegetated areas (2010, background): “A higher amount of drifting algal mats in seagrass meadows compared to bare sand has been shown to occur in the Baltic by Boström & Bonsdorff (2000).”
Ecological Stoichiometry, Biogeochemical Cycling, Invasive Species, and Aquatic Food Webs: San Francisco Estuary and Comparative Systems (2011, background): “(2006), this is due to “enhanced rates of recruitment within canopies (Duggins et al., 1990; Boström and Bonsdorff, 2000), shelter from predation (Peterson and Heck, 2001) and”
Invertebrate dispersal and habitat heterogeneity: Expression of biological traits in a seagrass landscape (2010, result): “, 2007), and corresponds well with a previous experimental work on exposed sandy bottoms in the study area, in which species reproducing via pelagic larvae only comprised about 30% of the whole settling assemblage (Boström and Bonsdorff, 2000).”
Eelgrass as a Bioindicator Under the European Water Framework Directive (2005, background): “Eelgrass meadows are highly productive (Duarte and Chiscano, 1999), they provide important habitats for benthic invertebrates and fish fry (e.g. Boström and Bonsdorff, 2000) and tend to reduce coastal erosion through stabilisation of the sediment (Rasmussen, 1973; Ward et al., 1984).”
A highly diverse molluscan assemblage associated with eelgrass beds ( Zostera marina L.) in the Alboran Sea: Micro-habitat preference, feeding guilds and biogeographical distribution (2009, background): “…molluscan fauna associated with Zostera marina and Zostera noltii is well known (Jacobs and Huisman, 1982; Jacobs et al., 1983; Currás et al., 1993; Boström and Bonsdorff, 1997, 2000; frost et al., 1999; Hily and Bouteille, 1999; fredriksen et al., 2005; Quintas, 2005). on the mediterranean…”
Classifying Ecological Quality and Integrity of Estuaries (2011, background): “, 2000; Eyre and Ferguson, 2002), seagrass meadows are extremely productive systems, which exhibit high biodiversity, and support complex food webs, constituting a habitat refuge for a number of organisms (Orth, 1992; Boström and Bonsdorff, 2000; Borum et al., 2005).”
