摘要
A functional growth model was developed for Halophila hawaiiana Doty and Stone, based on its regular plastochrone interval, and the relationship between leaf area and plant biomass. The model allows estimates of biomass, productivity and turnover from easily collected field samples. From these samples, the number of actively growing apical buds, total leaf number and total leaf area for a unit area for a unit area were determined. This model was applied to a meadow in Kaneohe Bay, Oahu [Hawaii, USA]. The mean biomass was 104.25 g dry wt. m-2 and the productivity 7.11 g dry wt. m-2 day-1. The turnover time was 14.7 days.
