Mortality rate estimation for eelgrass Zostera marina (Potamogetonaceae) using projections from Leslie matrices

Mortality rate estimation for eelgrass Zostera marina (Potamogetonaceae) using projections from Leslie matrices

The main goal of this study is to provide estimations of mean mortality rate of vegetative shoots of the seagrass Zostera marina in a meadow near Ensenada Baja California, using a technique that minimizes destructive sampling. Using cohorts and Leslie matrices, three life tables were constructed, ea...
