Reintroduction of self-facilitating feedbacks could advance subtidal eelgrass (zostera marina) restoration in the dutch wadden sea

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: Since then, this study has been the first to investigate restoration possibilities further within the scope of a field experiment. The authors show that short-term survival (5 weeks) can be increased (+67%) by generating self-facilitating feedback through the application of belowground root mimics (BESE-elements). The authors show that artificially reintroducing positive feedback, i.e., sediment stabilization, positively affected short-term survival and suggest incorporating measures that induce this feedback in future restoration activities.
• Who: Zostera marina and colleagues from the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre Germany University of Copenhagen, Denmark have . . .
