Impacts of an abundant introduced ecosystem engineer within mudflats of the southeastern US coast (2012, neutral): “To examine whether Gracilaria exhibits biomass dependent growth or loss, we used a 2-way ANOVA to analyze the effects of the initial biomass treatments (low, medium, and high) and site (Charleston and Savannah) on relative growth rate (or RGR; Hoffmann and Poorter 2002).”
