A Review of Nutrient Allocation and Variation Within Seagrass Tissue.

Data on nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in above-ground and below-ground plant parts of 19 species of seagrass world-wide were compiled from published sources. Additionally, data on growth and nutrient concentrations of Halophila ovalis from the Swan River Estuary, subject to experimental manipulations of either sediment organic matter enrichment or reduced light under controlled growth conditions, were pooled to investigate relationships between growth and nutrient stoichiometry of the seagrass.本研究从已发表文献中汇编了全球19种海草的地上、地下组织的氮（N）与磷（P）浓度数据。此外，本研究还整合了取自天鹅河河口（Swan River Estuary）的喜盐草（Halophila ovalis）的生长与养分浓度数据，该数据集源自受控培养条件下开展的沉积物有机质富集或光照减弱操控实验，用于探究海草生长与养分化学计量间的关联。
