Variability of the low-frequency acoustic response along leaf blades and between species of seagrass (Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa) [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2021 An acoustic resonator was used to measure the low-frequency (1–5 kHz) effective acoustic properties of the leaf blades of two Mediterranean seagrass species (Posidonia oceanica and Cymodocea nodosa). Variability along blades was assessed by measuring the
