Effect of depth gradient and temperature on Zostera marina vegetative and reproductive phenology in the first year of the 1997–1998 El Niño

Effect of depth gradient and temperature on Zostera marina vegetative and reproductive phenology in the first year of the 1997–1998 El Niño

Does Zostera marina exhibit phenotypic plasticity, maximizing fitness in traits responding to environmental factors, i.e., depth and temperature? We compared the vegetative and sexual phenology and reproductive effort of Z. marina by analyzing vegetative and reproductive shoot density, biomass, and...

description Does Zostera marina exhibit phenotypic plasticity, maximizing fitness in traits responding to environmental factors, i.e., depth and temperature? We compared the vegetative and sexual phenology and reproductive effort of Z. marina by analyzing vegetative and reproductive shoot density, biomass, and reproductive stages to determine structural features of vegetative and reproductive shoots from subtidal and intertidal environments in San Quintín Bay, Baja California, a year before and after the 1997–1998 El Niño/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We found significant differences in vegetative and reproductive biomass between intertidal and subtidal environments driven by temperature differences between ENSO and non-ENSO years. Subtidal plants had lower density of long reproductive shoots and a shorter reproductive cycle. Seed release occurred from May to October in the subtidal environment, and from May to November in the intertidal environment. Maximal recorded values were 219.5 (±45.8) seeds per reproductive shoot in the subtidal environment and 151.3 (±21.5) in the intertidal environment. We observed higher sexual activity and lower vegetative biomass in the intertidal environment, the most stressful environment. Both vegetative and reproductive biomass were affected by the increase in temperature during ENSO, but vegetative and reproductive shoot densities were not affected.

Comparamos la fenología sexual y vegetativa y el esfuerzo reproductivo de Z. marina analizando la densidad, la biomasa y los estadios reproductivos de haces vegetativos y reproductivos para determinar las características estructurales de los haces vegetativos y reproductivos de ambientes submareales e intermareales en la bahía San Quintín, Baja California, un año antes y después de El Niño/Oscilación del Sur (ENOS) de 1997–1998. Encontramos diferencias significativas en la biomasa vegetativa y reproductiva entre el ambiente submareal y el ambiente intermareal que fueron forzadas por las diferencias de temperatura entre los años con ENOS y sin ENOS. Las plantas del submareal tuvieron menor densidad de haces reproductivos largos y un ciclo reproductivo más corto. La liberación de semillas se presentó de mayo a octubre en el submareal y de mayo a noviembre en el intermareal. Los valores máximos registrados fueron 219.5 (±45.8) semillas por haz reproductivo en el submareal y 151.3 (±21.5) en el intermareal. Observamos mayor actividad sexual y menor biomasa vegetativa en el intermareal, el ambiente más estresante. Tanto la biomasa vegetativa como la reproductiva fueron afectadas por un aumento en la temperatura durante el evento ENOS, pero las densidades de haces vegetativos y reproductivos no fueron afectadas.
