- W2514007987 abstract "Seagrasses rely on both vegetative (rhizome elongation) and sexual (seeds) propagation for maintenance of existing beds and colonization of new areas. Yet mecha- nisms of seed dispersal and survival of seeds in new areas remain poorly described. We conducted seed dispersal experiments in the field and laboratory to better describe seed dispersal characteristics in one species, Zostera marina L. (eelgrass), the dominant seagrass species in the temperate zone of the United States, Japan, and Europe. Seeds were broadcast by hand into unvegetated 5 m diameter plots at three locations over 3 yr (1989-1991) in the York River, Virginia (Chesapeake Bay). These sites had been previously vegetated but were devoid of any vegetation prior to (since 1972) and during the course of the experiments. Resultant seedling distributions closely matched broadcast patterns, with 80% of all seedlings found within the 5 m diameter plots, despite the fact that geophysical processes would appear sufficient to transport seeds greater distances. Wind records for the 2-mo period between seed broadcasting and germination revealed time-averaged wind speeds in excess of 40 km/h on 12 d in each of the 3 yr and gale- force winds (72 km/h) in 2 of 3 yr. A three-dimensional hydrographic computer simulation model of the York River provided instantaneous current velocity estimates from which maximum bottom shear velocities (u.) in the study area were approximated (flood tide: 1.26 cm/s, ebb tide: 1.20 cm/s). These estimates exceeded the critical erosion threshold (ucrit = 0.7 cm/s) for Z. marina seeds determined from laboratory flume experiments. We postulate that small-scale topographic features on the bottom (burrows, pits, mounds, ripples) shield the seeds from the flow. Our results suggest that seeds settle rapidly, dispersing only up to a few metres under the influence of currents and become rapidly incorporated into the sediment. The limited dispersal capabilities of seeds underscore the need to address restoration goals and questions of seagrass ecology in the context of landscape-scale distributional patterns and metapopula- tion analyses." @default.
