Coastal restoration success via emergent trait-mimicry is context dependent
van der Heide, Tjisse; Temmink, Ralph J.M.; Fivash, Greg S.; Bouma, Tjeerd J.; Boström, Christoffer; Didderen, Karin; Esteban, Nicole; Gaeckle, Jeffrey; Gagnon, Karine; Infantes, Eduardo; van de Koppel, Johan; Lengkeek, Wouter; Unsworth, Richard; Christianen, Marjolijn J.A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Coastal ecosystems provide vital ecosystem functions and services, but have been rapidly degrading due to human impacts. Restoration is increasingly considered key to reversing these losses, but is often unsuccessful. ... -
Distribution, structure and function of Nordic eelgrass (Zostera marina) ecosystems: Implications for coastal management and conservation
Boström, Christoffer; Baden, Susanne; Bockelmann, Anna-Christina; Dromph, Karsten; Fredriksen, Stein; Gustafsson, Camilla; Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Möller, Tiia; Nielsen, Søren Laurentius; Olesen, Birgit; Olsen, Jeanine; Pihl, Leif; Rinde, Eli (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)1. This paper focuses on the marine foundation eelgrass species, Zostera marina, along a gradient from the northern Baltic Sea to the north-east Atlantic. This vast region supports a minimum of 1480km 2 eelgrass (maximum ... -
Effects of depth and overgrowth of ephemeral macroalgae on a remote subtidal NE Atlantic eelgrass (Zostera marina) community
Baden, Susanne; Fredriksen, Stein; Christie, Hartvig C; Eriander, Louise; Gustafsson, Camilla; Holmer, Marianne; Olesen, Birgit; Thormar, Jonas; Boström, Christoffer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)We conducted a short-term field sampling complemented with time integrating stable isotope analysis to holistically investigate status and ecological interactions in a remote NE Atlantic Zostera marina meadow. We found ... -
Facilitating foundation species: The potential for plant-bivalve interactions to improve habitat restoration success
Gagnon, Karine; Rinde, Eli; Bengil, Elizabeth Grace Tunka; Carugati, Laura; Christianen, Marjolijn J.A.; Danovaro, Roberto; Gambi, Cristina; Govers, Laura L.; Kipson, Silvija; Meysick, Lukas; Pajusalu, Liina; Tüney Kızılkaya, İnci; van de Koppel, Johan; van der Heide, Tjisse; van Katwijk, Marieke M.; Boström, Christoffer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)1.Vegetated marine and freshwater habitats are being increasingly lost around the world. Habitat restoration is a critical step for conserving these valuable habitats, but new approaches are needed to increase restoration ... -
Habitat features and their influence on the restoration potential of marine habitats in Europe
