摘要

Eelgrass (Zostera marina) used to dominate the vegetation in Odense Fjord, Denmark, and covered >17 km~2 of the shallow fjord in 1983. Decades of excessive nutrient loading has lead to decreased eelgrass distribution, and only ~2 km~2 is covered at present The state of low eelgrass coverage has not changed despite significant improvements of water quality in the past > 10 years, and lugworms, Arenicola marina, have colonized the former eelgrass areas (1-8 ind. m~(-2)). It was hypothesized that the lack of eelgrass recovery was due to A marina, which was investigated by a combined field and laboratory approach. At a study site where eelgrass used to dominate, a seasonal study of lugworm population dynamics and sediment reworking activity was performed. Additionally, density dependent burial of eelgrass seeds and seedlings due to sediment reworking by A marina was investigated in mesocosm experiments. Our results indicate that A marina may negatively impact eelgrass recovery, since sediment reworking lead to rapid burial of eelgrass seeds and seedlings; within 1-2 months, 95% of seeds and 75% of seedlings were buried below critical depth. Considerations based on empirical modeling suggest that negative impact occur even at low A marina density (5-10 ind. m~(-2)). Therefore the spread of A marina into former eelgrass areas is critical, since eelgrass recovery may be severely impaired, even when water quality favors eelgrass recolonization.
