Changes in eelgrass (Zostera
marina) cover in Great Bay from 1986 to 1992. This series of maps
which are published in the Technical Characterization of Estuarine
and Coastal New Hampshire, show the change in eelgrass cover from the
mid 1980’s through the early 1990’s. The declines were attributed
to an outbreak of the eelgrass wasting disease that is caused by the slime
mold Labyrinthula zostrea. This decline was followed by rapid recovery
through natural seed production and revegetation. The maps were generated
from data collected by Short et al. 1986, Short and Mathieson 1992, Short
et al. 1992, 1993 and Burdick and Short 1995. |
