The role of environment descriptors and seagrass biometrics in shaping macrobenthic assemblages' structure in intertidal Zostera noltei meadows.

The present study describes macroinvertebrate assemblages in three Zostera noltei meadows, following a salinity gradient along the Aveiro lagoon (Portugal). The main environmental descriptors and Z. noltei biometrics were studied to provide a model of the multivariate macroinvertebrate assemblage structure.
