| Two sampling stations were selected in order to assess the response of the seagrass to lagoon conditions. Leaf growth was estimated using Zieman method and rhizome production was evaluated by marking rhizome terminals. The vegetative development of C. nodosa inside the lagoon at the limit of its distribution is different from that observed close to the communication channel with the sea. The growth of C. nodosa show a clear unimodal cycle in the two stations reaching maximum leaf development in summer. Shoot density decreased from 915 to 500 shoot m-2 from the communication channel toward the lagoon. The average total biomass varied between 241.6 ± 34 g DW m-2 and 413.8 ± 46 g DW m-2. Leaf plastochrone interval varied seasonally with an annual average of... |
