Abstract:Samples of the macrobenthic flora were collected at 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 m below mean water level at Kullen, S Sweden. The frequency, length, reproductive pattern and biomass o f the commonest species, and the variations of these with depth and season are discussed. The species composition and the size of the plants indicate that the flora is strongly affected by the brackish environment. Only few species contributed substantially to the total mean biomass (100.1 g dry wt 0.25 m 2 ) : Fucus serratus (56%), Lamina… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
