Abstract | Seagrass meadows are key ecosystems, and they are among the most threatened habitats on the planet. Increased numbers of extreme climate events, such as hurricanes and marine heatwaves have caused severe damage to global seagrass meadows. The largest Zostera japonica meadows in China are located in the Yellow River Delta. It had a distribution area of 1031.8 ha prior to August 2019 when the Yellow River Delta was severely impacted by the passage of typhoon Lekima. In this study, we compared field data collected before and after the typhoon to determine its impact on seagrass beds in the Yellow River Delta. The super typhoon caused dramatic changes in Z. japonica in the Yellow River Delta, resulting in a greater than 100-fold decrease in distribution area, a greater than 35% loss of soil organic carbon, and a greater than 65% loss of soil total nitrogen in the top 35 cm sediments. Owing to the lack of seeds and overwintering shoots, as well as the small remaining distribution area, recovery was impossible, even though environmental factors were still suitable for species growth. Thus, restoration efforts are required for seagrass meadow recovery. Additionally, the long-term monitoring of this meadow will provide new information on the ecosystem's status and will be useful for future protection. (c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
