SAV recovery and estuarine nutrient cycling

The Susquehanna Flats SAV beds cover nearly 25 square kilometers. Each square meter contains about 150 g of plant material. When you do the math, that’s a LOT of biomass! True to our ecosystem ecology roots, we want to know how much carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus the SAV beds are retaining and how much sediment they are trapping.
