Submersed aquatic vegetation in the tidal Potomac River and Estuary of Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia; Hydrologic data report, May, 1978 to November, 1981
Abstract:As part of a comprehensive interdisciplinary study of the tidal Potomac River and Estuary, the U.S. Geological Survey studied the distribution and abundance of submersed aquatic vegetation from 1978 to 1981.

Substrate types were identified, and … Show more
