Seagrasses are a group of foundation species that are in accelerated global decline. As a foundation species, seagrasses provide many functions which include, but are not limited to, serving as a storm buffer via wave attenuation, sequestering carbon, increasing biodiversity, improving water quality (dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, etc.), and providing nursery habitat for commercially important species of fishes and invertebrates. replica horloges We conducted two small-scale experimental seagrass restoration projects in Elkhorn Slough, CA where we quantified many of the aforementioned functions in restored and natural seagrass habitats and adjacent unvegetated subtidal habitat. Our investigation serves as a model for investigating the restoration of foundation species, and the ecosystem functions they support.
