Seagrass die-off in Florida Bay (USA): Changes in shoot demographic characteristics and population dynamics in Thalassia testudinum
Durako MJ. 1994. Seagrass die-off in Florida Bay (USA): Changes in shoot demographic characteristics and population dynamics in Thalassia testudinum. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 110:59-66
This report examines the shoot age structure and population dynamics of three seagrass populations in Florida Bay, Everglades National Park. It also compares changes in demographic characteristics between two consecutive years to determine population status. Information includes measured and estimated plastochrone intervals, gross recruitment, mortality, population half-life, age frequency distribution of shoots, and net shoot production. Graphs and tables present the data.
