| Abstract | This study clarified the structures and seasonal changes of Zostera japonica population from July 2003 to November 2004, growing at Tategami-ura, Ago Bay, Mie Prefecture. Productive structures showed the graminous types through the year. In August, biomass, shoot density and Leaf Area Index reached maximum values. And then, many long shoots were withered drastically. From February, shoot density gradually increased by seed germination and recruitment of lateral shoots. From March to April, biomass rapidly increased with growing leaves. Flowering shoots were observed from May. Leaf Mass Area showed high values from February to September, and low from October to January. The three phases of growing (December-April), flowering (May-August) and withering (September-November) were distinguished with reference to the seasonal changes in population structures. |
