Figure 6

Total component uptake and resource allocation of ammonium by above-ground seagrass biomass, below-ground seagrass biomass, epiphytes and plankton in Zostera nigricaulis beds at Blairgowrie, Swan Bay and Kirk Point in Port Phillip Bay. The total component uptake accounts for the effect of differences in biomass for each of the biotic components. Note that the data for plankton are not included for Kirk Point.
