Benthic microalgal standing stock (sediment Chla content) vs Echinocardium density in unmanipulated sediments. (A) All available data. (B) The slopes of relationships during 14 individual sampling occasions from 8 sites. (C) Muddy vs sandy sites, above and below 15% average mud content, respectively. (D) Three parts of Mahurangi Harbour, with turbidity generally increasing between Mouth and Upper. (E-F) Plots of averaged Echinocardium density and Chla values. (G-H) The potential influences of environmental factors on sediment Chla content.
