	note = {{\textquotedblleft}On the Pacific coast of North America two seagrass species in the genus Zostera co-exist; the native species, Zostera marina, and an introduced species, Zostera japonica. These two species typically occupy separate tidal elevations, with Z. marina occupying the lower intertidal and shallow subtidal zones, and Z. japonica occupying the mid- to upper intertidal zone. This study was designed to compare the photosynthetic characteristics of Z. japonica and Z. marina after exposure to high and low light. . . . {\textquotedblleft}},
