Variation in Thalassia testudinum seedling growth related to geographic origin
Durako MJ and Moffler MD. 1981. Variation in Thalassia testudinum seedling growth related to geographic origin. Pages 100-117. In Durako MJ and Moffler MD (ed): Proceedings of the Eighth Annual Conference on Wetlands Restoration and Creation. May 8-9, 1981
This report discusses the different growth patterns of turtle grass (Thalassia testudinum) from different geographical areas including Biscayne Bay, Tampa Bay, and the Florida Keys. The report says that the seedlings may have physiological acclimatizations to their indigenous environments which has important implications for revegetation projects. Graphs and tables present the data on rate of growth, root length, leaf area, and leaf blade widths.
