| Notes | This paper studies the time it takes for eelgrass meadows to recover from disturbances, in particular the difference between continuous lower intertidal meadows as opposed to higher intertidal patches of eelgrass. Areas of eelgrass in Yaquina Bay were denuded and the time of recovery was studied. The lower continous meadows recovered within 24 months, but recovery for the patchy higher intertidal eelgrass plots was much slower. Map, charts, aerial photographs. Summarizes current state of eelgrass beds in the Yaquina estuary. |
