| Abstract | This research examined the production dynamics and the mechanisms that accounted for such dynamics in a Zostera marina L. bed in Netarts Bay, Oregon. Specific objectives included a description of the autecology of Zostera in Netarts Bay, an investigation of macrophyte-epiphyte relationships and the monitoring of the primary production of Zostera and its epiphytes. Monthly changes in biomass, growth form, and primary production were monitored along transects at three tidal heights. (From the abstract) |
| Notes | "Specific objectives included a description of the autoecology of Zostera in Netarts Bay, an investigation of macrophyte-epiphyte relationships and the monitoring of the primary production of Zostera and its epiphytes." (from the Abstract) Illustrated with drawings, charts, and scanning electron micrographs of diatoms on Zostera specimens. Major professor was C. David McIntire. |
