However,    the conservation status of biogenic reefs generally depends on their size    and stability. Dynamic, patchy reefs may therefore be excluded from    protection. Here, we studied epibenthos and epifauna density, richness, and    community composition of patchy, dynamic <i>Sabellaria spinulosa</i> (ross    worm) reefs in the North Sea. This study was conducted by comparing boxcore    (endobenthos) and video transect (epifauna) data from two research    campaigns in 2017 and 2019 to the Brown Bank area on the Dutch Continental    Shelf, where <i>S. spinulosa</i> reefs were first discovered in 2017. The    Brown Bank area is characterized by dynamic, migratory bedforms at multiplescales which potentially affect biogenic reef stability. We showed that    <i>S. spinulosa</i> habitats had a patchy distribution and alternated with    habitats comprised of plain sand. Average <i>S. spinulosa</i> habitat patch    size was 5.57 ± 0.99 m and 3.94 ± 0.22 m in 2017 and 2019, respectively    (mean ± SE), which especially in 2019 closely resembled the small-scale    megaripple bedforms. Contrary to the endobenthos communities that were    unaffected by <i>S. spinulosa</i>, epifauna density and species richness    were at least two times higher in <i>S. spinulosa</i> habitats compared to    sandy habitats, resulting in different community compositions between the    two habitat types. We showed that <i>S. spinulosa</i> persisted in the area    for almost 2 years. Although the stability of individual patches remained    unclear, we demonstrated that even patchy biogenic reefs may promote    density and local biodiversity of mobile, epibenthic species, very likely    as a result of increased habitat heterogeneity provided by reef habitat    patches. This indicates that patchy biogenic reefs that occur in dynamic    environments may also have high ecological value and their conservation    status should be (re)considered to ensure their protection.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Conservation Implications of Sabellaria spinulosa Reef Patches in a Dynamic Sandy-Bottom Environment","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-10 01:32:35.181685","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"biogenic reefs; patchiness; habitat heterogeneity; marine management; ecosystem engineering; megaripples; ross worm; North Sea","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2021,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2021-05-12","DateCreate":"2021-05-12","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000642482200001","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.3389/fmars.2021.642659"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":337122,"PubliDate":2021,"Pagination":"642659","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"8","Issue":null,"BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":233602,"SerRR":"Frontiers in Marine Science.
