The combination of a land‐based system and natural habitat can propagate donor plants from cuttings for use in seagrass restoration projects; however, the appropriate period cultivation is unclear. Eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) were cultivated under different combinations (0, 3, 6, 9, 12 weeks) weeks. We measured survivorship, growth, productivity, leaf pigmentation, carbohydrate concentration eelgrass. Return on investment (defined as number ramets Z. returned through input costs process) analysis suggested that optimal propagation 3.1–3.8 ramet frequency exposed to (3 (9 was 1.4 times higher than habitats promotional effect mainly depended increase chlorophyll content accumulation synthesis nonstructural carbohydrates. soluble sugar leaves 1.5 These results indicated implementation controlled plant process acquire abundant plants. This help provide valuable data development efficient artificial technologies .
