| Abstract: | The present study was designed to determine the uptake and release rates of various trace metal cations by turtle grass and its community in order to provide the coefficients of our previously described computer model intended to simulate trace metal cycling in subtropical and tropical estuaries. The site of uptake in Thalassia was also examined. |
