NotesIn this project, native seagrass was studied in summer and in winter using carbon-13 as a tracer to monitor changes in carbon uptake. β€œThe results provide important estimates of carbon uptake and translocation that can be used to better understand whole plant carbon budgets as well as the transfer of seagrass-derived carbon to other trophic communities.” (from the Abstract)
