Seagrass landscape pattern and hydrodynamic setting

Fonseca, M. S., P. E. Whitfield, N. M. Kelly, and S. S. Bell. 2002. Statistical modeling of seagrass landscape pattern and associated ecological attributes in relation to hydrodynamic setting. Ecological Applications 12(1): 218‐237

We examined the coherence of predictions of seagrass cover and ecological attributes of temperate, mixed-species seagrass derived from two common sampling techniques, (video) line transect (commonly used by biologists) and grid-sampled surveys (often used in remote sensing). Pdf download.
