Field experiment assessing the relative importance of genotype richness, genetic relatedness, and trait diversity on eelgrass performance. 41 genotypes across three tidal heights at five sites were collected in Bodega Harbor, California, USA in May 2012 and propagated in outdoor tanks at the UC Davis Bodega Marine Laboratory to produce enough shoots for deployment in a 15-month field experiment starting in the summer of 2013. More details can be found in Abbott et al., 2017 and Abbott et al., in press.
