We assisted recolonization in fifteen 4x10 m unvegetated experimental plots in a Mexican Caribbean near-shore fringe where the seagrasses had died due to massive inundations of holopelagic </span><i>Sargassum</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\"> species, and where a containment barrier was placed to avoid future inundations. The applied treatments were: artificial substrate (AS: 90 belowground, artificial, biodegradable, 15x15 cm-sized substrates, cut from a 0.91 x 0.45m Biodegradable EcoSystem Engineering sheet), transplant (TR: 90 cores, 4.5 cm diameter, with </span><i>Halodule wrightii</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\">), and control (C: no manipulation), each with five replicates. After 6 months, 63% of </span><i>H. wrightii</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\"> transplants survived, presenting mean rhizome extension of 7.6 cm, and </span><i>H. wrightii</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\"> from natural surrounding patches started to colonize the plots. After approximately 8 months, AS and TR plots already showed higher light conditions and lower fluctuations in sediment levels than the controls. After 14 months, the AS and TR plots reached higher mean (± SE) density (respectively, 4024 ± 620 and 3484 ± 360 shoots/m</span><sup>2</sup><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\">) and cover (60.3 ± 3.85 and 53.7 ± 2.84 %), compared to the control plots (2043 ± 381 shoots/m</span><sup>2</sup><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\">, 35.3 ± 5.7 % cover). Higher density of </span><i>H. wrightii</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\"> likely favored the natural establishment of </span><i>Thalassia testudinum</i><span style=\"background-color:rgb(255,255,255);color:rgb(0,0,0);\"> seedlings, with an average of 2.07 (± 0.15) and 1.87 (± 0.18) seedlings in AS and TR plots, respectively, compared to 0.48 (± 0.23) in the controls. Both techniques accelerated seagrass recolonization, but artificial substrates required less effort and avoided harvesting of donor meadows.</span>","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Assisting recolonization of near‐shore seagrasses","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-04-22 01:32:42.452081","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"artificial substrates; core transplants; <i>Halodule wrightii; </i>near-shore fringe; sediment dynamics; <i>Thalassia testudinum</i>","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2025,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2025-06-18","DateCreate":"2025-06-18","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":1,"DOI":"10.1111/rec.14374"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":409062,"PubliDate":2025,"Pagination":"e14374","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"33","Issue":"3","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":105968,"SerRR":"Restoration Ecology.
