SMALL SCALE RESTORATION WITH LARGE SCALE IMPACT: SEAGRASS RESTORATION SUCCESS FOSTERS RECOVERY OF KEY ECOSYSTEM SERVICES

During this short period of time, restored plots expanded ~8,500%, and the overall functioning of the restored habitats was higher than adjacent unvegetated habitats and approaching but lower than reference seagrass habitats. Overall, our study showed that fish and invertebrate species density in re...

Zusammenfassung:During this short period of time, restored plots expanded ~8,500%, and the overall functioning of the restored habitats was higher than adjacent unvegetated habitats and approaching but lower than reference seagrass habitats. Overall, our study showed that fish and invertebrate species density in restored plots were at or approaching reference levels. (A) Undergraduate intern, Natalie Rossi and study lead, Dr. Kathryn Beheshti preparing a core inside a restored plot at low tide.
