| Notes | The authors take the interesting approach of using the periodic table of elements as a model for summarizing species richness and biomass in an estuary, as related to habitat. Eelgrass and 2 kinds of burrowing shrimp holes were used as habitat types. Yaquina Bay was the study site, and is used as an example of this approach. |
