Limited effects of source population identity and number on seagrass transplant performance
Alyssa N, Plaisted H, Hays C, Hughes A. Limited effects of source population identity and number on seagrass transplant performance. Research Permit and Reporting System
Global declines in coastal foundation species highlight the importance of effective restoration. In this study, we examined the effects of source population identity and diversity (one vs. three sources per plot) on seagrass (Zostera marina) transplant success. The field experiment was replicated at two locations in Massachusetts with adjacent natural Zostera marina beds to test for local adaptation and source diversity effects on shoot density. We also collected morphological and genetic data t
