Abstract

Zostera marina and Halodule wrightii shoots were quantified using quadrats in Back Sound, North Carolina between May and July of 2014. Zostera marine seeds were quantified using sediment cores.

These data relating to fragmentation effects on Zostera seed distribution were utilized in the following publication (Livernois et al., 2017)

Location: Back Sound, North Carolina; N 34º 41’, W 76º 34’
