WAMSI 2 - Dredging Node - Project 5.5.3 - Defining thresholds and indicators of primary producers - Seagrass pressure-response relationships - Experiment 3

Objectives of Project 5.5 are to: (1) determining the pressure:response relationships that relate the effects of dredging-generated sediments on tropical primary producers, (2) examine the pathways, rates and timeframes of recovery from impacts and; (3) identify and examine the effects of key environmental variables on the pressure:response relationships and recovery.

Specifically Experiment 3 will be studying "Effect of burial by different sediment types on seagrasses (Laboratory and Field Experiment)"

Cymodocea serrulata and Halodule uninervis studied. There are the following worksheets in the Experiment 3 spreadsheet:
