英文摘要 | Poor water quality and light reduction owing to anthropogenic impacts are the most widespread causes behind marine submerged angiosperm (seagrass) declines, worldwide. Seagrasses could respond to sustained environ-mental stresses, such as increasing water depth and light reduction, through morphological changes, particularly shoot density and/or biomass reductions. The seagrass Zostera japonica Asch. and Graebn. has been introduced to the Pacific Coast of North America, but it is widely threatened in its native northwestern Pacific Coast range alongside the east coast of China. The main aims of this study were to determine: 1) the depth limit of Z. japonica growth in its native range, and 2) how light availability affects the growth and recruitment of Z. japonica. To achieve these aims, we investigated the temporal responses of Z. japonica shoots and seeds from an intertidal donor site, Swan Lake, to light availability at water depths ranging from 1 to 6 m using in situ suspended cultures deployed in the experimental site, Ailian Bay, off the coast of Weihai City, China. The results showed that the transplanted Z. japonica shoots and seeds could survive for the duration of their annual growth cycle, permanently underwater, at a depth <= 2 m. There was a significant inverse relationship between water depth and time to complete shoot loss, despite temporally varying water clarity levels. Due to the local turbidity of the waters in Ailian Bay, a depth of 2 m yielded sufficient light deprivation (5%-37% surface irradiance) to negatively affect the seagrass shoot density. Our results suggest that this intertidal species can potentially persist in shallow subtidal areas following transplantation with shoots and seeds. The findings may also serve as useful information for local seagrass distribution limits, and will facilitate their habitat establishment and restoration efforts. |
