The Marine Flora of Great Duck Island, Maine

Collins F and National Park Service, Acadia National Park. 1900. The Marine Flora of Great Duck Island, Maine. Rhodora. 2(22):209-211

Briefly notes different flora in the intertidal zone. From Article, 'The bottom and sides of these pools are richly coated with algae, and the general development of the flora here is more luxuriant than on Mount Desert Island itself, even at exposed points. Why a small outlying island should have a more luxuriant flora than an exposed part of a larger island or of the mainland, it is hard to say; but on the New England coast, at least, this seems to be the case.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /ISLANDS/Great Duck Island/
