Sediment organic and inorganic matter within intertidal eelgrass beds in Southeast Alaska
Sediment cores were collected from 21 sites along western Prince of Wales Island and the surrounding archipelago in Southeast Alaska. The cores were collected to quantify the amount of organic and inorganic material within intertidal eelgrass (Zostera marina) beds in each site. The cores were 5 cm i...
