Country: Netherlands

Goal

Technique: transplanting seagrass sods In a seagrass (Zostera noltii) restoration project in the south-western Netherlands, transplantation success in relation to intrinsic processes (i.e. comparing sods vs. single shoots, transplant size, transplant configuration and transplant density) and extrinsic forcing (i.e. bioturbation by Arenicola marina, desiccation and exposure to water dynamics) was investigated. In total, 2600 m2 of seagrass sods were mechan Spatial extent 2600 ha as reported. Reported project duration 5,0 year(s). Average survival 43,0% as reported.

A variable shows "pending" instead of a contribution when no domain area has been set for it yet — the share of the world a project touched cannot be computed without one. The health percentages are accurate regardless.
