Growth patterns and demography of pioneer Caribbean seagrasses Halodule wrightii and Syringodium filiforme

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1994
The shoot demography and rhizome growth of Syringodium filiforme Kutz. and Halodule wrightii Aschers. were studied, based on plant dating techniques, to account for their role as pioneer in the succession sequence of Canbbean seagrasses. Results demonstrated that these species are able to develop dense meadows, supporting biomasses in excess of 500 g ...
