Williams SL, Breda VA, Anderson TW, Nyden BB. 1985. Growth and Sediment Disturbances of Caulerpa spp. (Chlorophyta) in a Submarine Canyon. Marine Ecology Progress Series. 21:275-281
Measured growth rates of 7 species of Caulerpa (an algae) in Salt River Canyon (an underwater canyon) on St. Croix. Noted animals creating sediment disturbance which could influence growth and replicated this sediment disturbance to determine its impact.
