Effects of nutrient enrichment and grazing on shoalgrass Halodule wrightii and its epiphytes : results of a field experiment

We assessed the individual and combined effects of removing large predators and enriching water column nutrients on shoalgrass Halodule wrightii meadows in Big Lagoon, Florida, USA. To simulate the first-order effects of large predator reductions, we stocked 2.0 m
