NotesThis study is concerned with the natural factors that limit the distribution and growth of inter-tidal eelgrass. The authors suggest that dessication from exposure to the air, along with macroalgae and erosion all limit eelgrass, "and that these factors operate in an acute rather than a chronic manner."
