Seed germination and recolonisation of Zostera capricorni after grazing by dugongs.
Aquatic Botany 59(3-4): 333-340. 1 tab. 1 fig. Dec. 1997.
–Recovery of a Zostera meadow in Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia that was intensively grazed in 1992-93 was complete in less than a year, and was augmented by a high incidence of sexual reproduction. The latter may have been stimulated by dugong grazing. Grazing coincided with peak flower production, which provided richer and more digestible food.
