Abstract

This dataset contains physiological and morphological traits of Zostera marina genotypes collected in Bodega Bay CA in May of 2012 and grown in a common garden at the Bodega Marine Laboratory prior to trait measurements. Trait measurements were conducted from March of 2013 to August of 2014. A separate common garden of replicate shoots was established (N=5 individuals per genotype) in May 2014. Growth measurements and shoot morphology were taken in July of 2014 from the common garden started in...
