Abstract
Habitat and tissue characteristics were assessed for four populations of Zostera marina L., ranging in life-history strategy from perennial to annual. Results are discussed in relation to previously reported data on population dynamics. Significant differences in turbidity existed between sites, and a possible frequent light limitation for growth during the growing season was suggested for one site. Nutrient concentrations in surface water varied between sites and seasons and were considered to play an important part in the different growth rates demonstrated. Despite relatively high nitrogen concentrations in interstitial water, possible nitrogen growth limitation was theoretically indicated for three populations.
