TL;DR: This study provides the first global field evidence for the requirement of a critical mass for recovery of seagrass species, which may also hold for other foundation species showing strong positive feedback to a dynamic environment.

TL;DR: This work factorially added nutrients and reduced grazing at 15 sites across the range of the marine foundation species eelgrass to quantify how top-down and bottom-up control interact with natural gradients in biodiversity and environmental forcing, and finds that biodiversity is comparably important to global change stressors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlethal effects of predators on prey populations: predator‐mediated change in bivalve growth
TL;DR: Variation in clam growth rate among habitats with different predation pressure, and between predator-exclusion cages and uncaged controls, was generally small or not detected in winter, while large variation was found for adul... among-habitat variation in survivorship, predation rate, and growth rate was generally large in winter.

Lina Mtwana Nordlund,Emma L. Jackson,Masahiro Nakaoka,Jimena Samper-Villarreal,Pedro Beca-Carretero,Joel C. Creed +5 more
TL;DR: Way forward to advance seagrass ecosystem service research is presented in order to raise the profile of seagRass globally, as a means to establish more effective conservation and restoration of these important coastal habitats around the world.
