Habitat fragmentation is a process which can alter the spatial configuration and reduce the
overall area of a habitat. This generally results in a degradation of habitat functioning.
Fragmentation of seagrass (Zostera marina) beds has become increasingly common, and it
may threaten the valuable ecosystem services they provide. Sexual reproduction through
flowering and seed dispersal could contribute to the species' potential resiliency by reducing
its vulnerability to fragmentation. We investigated whether the proportion and density of …
