	note = {{\textquotedblleft}In estuaries of the U.S. Pacific Northwest coast, eelgrass (Zostera marina ) ecosystems are exposed to latitudinally varying oceanographic inputs in the form of ocean upwelling. Previous research suggests that ocean upwelling is critical to eelgrass and ulvoid macroalgae abundance, but the degree to which secondary producers are controlled by processes at regional vs. local scales is unknown. Here, we consider the relationships among primary producers (eelgrass, ulvoid macroalgae, and epiphytic microalgae), epifaunal mesograzers, and mesopredator fish within and across three Oregon, U.S.A., estuaries during a spring{\textendash}summer season to examine the role of multiple scales in structuring these communities.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)  Suppplementary material in a separate file accompanies this article.},

	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.},

	number = {3},
	year = {2013},
	note = {{\textquotedblleft}In coastal marine systems worldwide, land-based nutrient inputs are often correlated with blooms of macroalgae, which can negatively affect seagrass habitats. We used spatiotemporal trends in production to identify the role of marine-derived nutrients in mediating these interactions. Among ocean upwelling-influenced estuaries along the northeastern Pacific, we documented a negative correlation between annual production of ulvoid macroalgae and the seagrass, Zostera marina L., at a regional scale that included four estuaries along a 400 km distance. While macroalgal biomass was , 30 times greater in southern (Yaquina Bay and Coos Bay, Oregon) compared to northern (Willapa Bay, Washington, and Netarts Bay, Oregon) estuaries, no temporal patterns of eelgrass decline were observed within the estuaries over a 5 yr period{\textellipsis}{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)},
