• Coastal ecosystem engineers and their impact on sediment dynamics: Eelgrass–bivalve interactions under wave exposure 

      Meysick, Lukas; Infantes, Eduardo; Rugiu, Luca; Gagnon, Karine; Boström, Christoffer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Habitat forming ecosystem engineers play critical roles in structuring coastal seascapes. Many ecosystem engineers, such as seagrasses and epifaunal bivalves, are known to have positive effects on sediment stability and ...
    • Effects of depth and overgrowth of ephemeral macroalgae on a remote subtidal NE Atlantic eelgrass (Zostera marina) community 

      Baden, Susanne; Fredriksen, Stein; Christie, Hartvig C; Eriander, Louise; Gustafsson, Camilla; Holmer, Marianne; Olesen, Birgit; Thormar, Jonas; Boström, Christoffer (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      We conducted a short-term field sampling complemented with time integrating stable isotope analysis to holistically investigate status and ecological interactions in a remote NE Atlantic Zostera marina meadow. We found ...

    • Nordic Blue Carbon Ecosystems: Status and Outlook 

      Krause-Jensen, Dorte; Gundersen, Hege; Björk, Mats; Gullström, Martin; Dahl, Martin; Asplund, Maria E.; Boström, Christoffer; Holmer, Marianne; Banta, Gary T.; Graversen, Anna Elizabeth Løvgren; Pedersen, Morten Foldager; Bekkby, Trine; Frigstad, Helene; Skjellum, Solrun Figenschau; Thormar, Jonas; Gyldenkærne, Steen; Howard, Jennifer; Pidgeon, Emily; Ragnarsdóttir, Sunna Björk; Mols-Mortensen, Agnes; Hancke, Kasper (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Vegetated coastal and marine habitats in the Nordic region include salt marshes, eelgrass meadows and, in particular, brown macroalgae (kelp forests and rockweed beds). Such habitats contribute to storage of organic carbon ...

Emmett; Stachowicz, John J.; Reynolds, Pamela L.; Hovel, Kevin A.; Jahnke, Marlene; Sotka, Erik E.; Boström, Christoffer; Boyer, Katharyn E.; Cusson, Mathieu; Eklöf, Johan; Engelen, Aschwin H.; Eriksson, Britas Klemens; Fodrie, F. Joel; Griffin, John N; Hereu, Clara M.; Hori, Masakazu; Hughes, A. Randall; Ivanov, Mikhail V.; Jorgensen, Pablo; Kruschel, Claudia; Lee, Kun-Seop; Lefcheck, Jonathan S.; Moksnes, Per-Olav; Nakaoka, Masahiro; O’Connor, Mary I.; O’Connor, Nessa E.; Orth, Robert J.; Peterson, Bradley J.; Reiss, Henning; Reiss, Katrin; Richardson, J. Paul; Rossi, Francesca; Ruesink, Jennifer L.; Schultz, Stewart T.; Thormar, Jonas; Tomas, Fiona; Unsworth, Richard; Voigt, Erin; Whalen, Matthew A.; Ziegler, Shelby L.; Olsen, Jeanine L. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Distribution of Earth’s biomes is structured by the match between climate and plant traits, which in turn shape associated communities and ecosystem processes and services. However, that climate–trait match can be disrupted ...
    • Restoration of eelgrass (Zostera marina) in Estonian coastal waters, Baltic Sea 

      Pajusalu, Liina; Boström, Christoffer; Gagnon, Karine; Kaljurand, Kaire; Kotta, Jonne; Püss, Teemar; Martin, Georg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Seagrass meadows are facing structural degradation worldwide, losing both area and biodiversity. Habitat restoration could reverse this degradation, but so far, the success rate of seagrass restoration has been low. ...
    • The biogeography of community assembly: latitude and predation drive variation in community trait distribution in a guild of epifaunal crustaceans 

      Gross, Colin P.; Duffy, Emmett; Hovel, Kevin A; Kardish, Melissa R; Reynolds, Pamela L.; Boström, Christoffer; Boyer, Katharyn; Cusson, Mathieu; Eklöf, Johan; Engelen, Aschwin H.; Eriksson, Britas Klemens; Fodrie, F.

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      While considerable evidence exists of biogeographic patterns in the intensity of species interactions, the influence of these patterns on variation in community structure is less clear. Studying how the distributions of ...
