	note = {This paper examines how Japanese eelgrass responds to disturbances in its environment that result in increased sedimentation.  The more sediment disturbance, the more likely the plants were to reproduce sexually, and produce seeds.  {\textquotedblleft}If disturbance increases sexual reproduction, it may facilitate the invasion by increasing propagule pressure and genetic diversity. This could create an increased likelihood that Z. japonica reaches new sites, and, as has been shown in other invasive grasses, could allow this species to successfully proliferate across a wider range of environmental conditions{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright} (p.135)  Full-text of this article is available from the authors via ResearchGate.},
