摘要	Enhalus acoroides, the largest seagrass species in terms of morphology, has been observed to be declining significantly. In an effort to restore seagrass meadows, we conducted a transplantion utilizing dislodged rhizome fragments of E. acoroides as the donor materials. The growth of transplanted seagrass was monitored over a period of three years, and the impact of seagrass recolonization on sedimentary environment was assessed through analysis of sediment microbial diversity. The transplanted plants displayed notable growth, resulting in the successful recolonization of experimental plots by seagrass. The 3-year data also revealed the following findings: 1) the new shoot recruitment rate (per year) (NSR) of transplanted seagrass was 2.33 in the first year, 1.36 in the second year, and 0.83 in the third year, indicating a rapid initial growth rate of E. acoroides that subsequently slowed down; 2) the numbers of shoots and aboveground biomass of transplanted seagrass had increased by 13.0 and 15.9-fold, respectively, whereas only 3.3 and 5.3-fold increases of the natural seagrass were observed, suggesting that the transplantation of seagrass leads to a significantly accelerated recovery compared to its natural regeneration process. Furthermore, the restoration of E. acoroides resulted in a higher microbial diversity in the submarine sediments within the restoration area, as compared to the adjacent unvegetated area. This suggests that the re-vegetation of E. acoroides has a positive influence on the overall health of the sedimentary environment. This study strongly advocates for the active transplantation of dislodged E. acoroides plants resulting from human activities as a potential approach for future coastal management, specifically for the restoration of E. acoroides meadows.
