Abstract:Species persist through resistance and recovery traits induced by natural stressors. Whether human activities exacerbate or moderate the effects of natural stressors is an open question. Because eelgrass (Zostera marina) creates coastal habitat, its response to natural stressors and human activities is of particular management importance. In this study, traits of intertidal eelgrass were examined across cumulative stressors of emersion and oyster culture, including two culture types: oysters grown directly on … Show more
