Abstract: Tests the impacts of three herbivorous crustacean species on plant biomass accumulation, relative dominance of plant functional groups and herbivore secondary production in beds of eelgrass, Zostera marina. Influence of grazer species composition on eelgrass biomass accumulation and grazer secondary production; Seasonal abundance patterns among the dominant grazer species.
