“…The two main study sites were at Rhyll Inlet and the mudflats offshore known as Churchill Tidal Flats (Marsden et al 1979, Figure 1). Tidal mudflats, mostly covered by seagrass beds, comprise about 40% of the bay's total area of 680 km 2 (Shapiro 1975); Western Port contains one of the most extensive seagrass areas in southern Australia (Clough & Attiwill 1980). The seagrass meadows are dominated by Tasman Grass-wrack Zostera tasmanica, occurring in dense stands on lower areas of the mudflats that retain water at low tide (Bulthuis 1981).…”

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.
