Description

Porewater salinity at different depth intervals during different months. Seed, germling and seedling density data in two estuaries and during different months. Seed germination, seedling establishment and growth under experimental conditions.

Methodology

Monthly collection of sediment cores in the field to analyse porewater salinity and abundance of early life stages of seagrasses. In a mesocosm experiment, the effects of different combinations of salinity on seed germination were investigated.
