The Measurement of Seagrass Photosynthesis Using PAM Fluorometry - Comparison of photosynthetic rates and meadow characteristics of two 'visually' different meadows

Two sites with apparent differences, west and east Mangles Bay, Cockburn Sound, W.A., on 4 June 2005 were examined in terms of seagrass photosynthetic activity and meadow characteristics. Variables measured include maximum electron transport rate, effective quantum yield, potential quantum yield, canopy height, shoot density, leaf area index, epiphyte biomass and sediment grain size.

2005年6月4日，研究人员针对西澳大利亚州科克本湾（Cockburn Sound）内两处存在显著差异的样地——曼格尔斯湾东西两侧，开展了海草光合活性与草甸特征的调查。本次测定的变量涵盖最大电子传递速率、有效量子产率、潜在量子产率、冠层高度、茎枝密度、叶面积指数、附生生物量及沉积物粒度。
