Abstract

Site information for Zostera marina physiological and morphological traits sample transects in Bodega Bay, CA in May of 2012.

Cite Dataset

In May 2012 we collected 20 ramets harvested at 2 m intervals along a 40 m transect at each of three tidal heights (high intertidal, low intertidal, and subtidal) at five sites within Bodega Harbor, CA.  The five eelgrass collection sites are distributed throughout the harbor, between 0.45 and 3.2 km apart.  

The dataset "Eelgrass diversity" https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/725627 references the Site_Code and Tidal_Height data parameres in this "Eelgrass Transect Information" dataset.
