This article examines leaf herbivory in four temperate and five tropical sea grass environments to assess the extent of this variability and relate it to differences in leaf specific growth rate. Data on leaf production, leaf removal per shoot, and area leaf removal are included.sea grassaquatic plantsgrazingbiological productionestuariesArticle
