	Nature and importance of the Zostera biotope complex
		Status of Zostera species in the UK ‘Seagrass’ is a common name for a large group of higher flowering land plants that have spread into the marine environment in relatively recent geologic times.
		A clarification of the taxonomic status of Zostera species and a re-examination of specimens would contribute to an increased understanding of the distribution and habitat requirements of the three forms, with important implications for their future management.
		Zostera beds are an important source of food and shelter for the young stages of many fish and crustacean species, some of which are themselves food for commercially-valuable fishery species.

		Zostera, especially Z. marina, is very possibly the most important taxon of marine angiosperms in the Northern Hemisphere.
		This slow dieback of eel-grass became known as "wasting disease." Biologists began studying the disease and eventually determined the causative agent to be Labyrinthula zosterae, a slime mold.

	Importance of Zostera marina (Common eelgrass)
		Zostera is an important component of the diet of Brent geese (Branta bernicla), wigeon (Anas penelope), mute and whooper swans (Cygnus olor and Cygnus cygnus).
		The Brent geese population in Europe declined as a result of the decline in eelgrass populations due to wasting disease.

	Zostera in Tomales Bay
		The elemental content of Zostera marina leaves in Tomales Bay was quite variable (Table 1), but was within the range of values reported in the literature.
		The spatial trend in nitrogen content of seagrass leaves observed during summer 1992 suggested that N availability for Zostera marina was high near the mouth of the bay, and decreased towards the head of the bay ((Figure 3)).
		This decrease may be a result of the increased dependence of the seagrasses on respiratory CO from the remineralization of organic matter from phytoplankton and terrestrial sources, similar to the finding of Lin et al.

	Aquatic Plant Ecology at the Center for Applied Aquatic Ecology
		Seasonal dynamics of plants such as water willow Justicia americana, seagrass Zostera marina L.and communities of microorganisms (algae, bacteria) are influenced by natural factors like oxygen limitation, nutrient loading, and human influences such as habitat deterioration and elevated concentrations of toxicants.
		Zostera marina L. Cultural eutrophication and global warming are among the most studied processes relating to anthropogenic perturbations in estuarine systems, and continue to be a major concern for environmental scientists/ managers.
		By reducing shoot density, decreasing leaf and root development, and altering internal carbon and nitrogen compositions, there may be significant reductions in the growth and development of Zostera marina L. For more details on this experiment, please go to our Publications page.

		Zostera japonica occurs in areas where the oysters were obtained in Japan, and oysters were packed in Zostera species during shipment.

		Abundance of seagrass (Zostera marina L. and macroalgae in relation to the salinity-temperature gradient in Yaquina Bay, Oregon, USA.
		The relative abundances of the seagrass, Zostera marina L., and associated macroalgae were examined for Yaquina Bay, Oregon, U.S.A., to investigate variability in autotroph abundance along the salinity-temperature gradient and the potential for nuisance algal blooms.
		Possible explanations for the patterns in autotroph abundances were explored through examination of their correlations with the physicochemical characteristics of the water column.

	Eelgrass
		Recognizing Zostera is not hard - they have thin leaves about 12 to 20 inches long (31 to 53 centimeter) with parallel edges and three veins running along their length.
		So important is Zostera's role in this food cycle that estimates reveal that more than 20 species of commercially valuable fish species feed in these eelgrass meadows at some point in their lives.
		A researcher's studies indicate that a six-inch layer of eelgrass spread to a density of 1.5 pounds per square foot has the insulation efficiency of six inches of fiberglass insulation.
