Scientific paper

Organic carbon from sediments collected in Texas seagrass meadows was enriched in 13 C by an average of 6.6% relative to organic carbon from offshore sediments. Within the South Texas hay system examined. 13 C values became increasingly more typical of offshore sediments with increasing distance from seagrass meadows. This permits the use of carbon isotope data as a measure of the relative contributions of seagrasses and plankton to sedimentary organic matter.
