Seagrass populations in northern China rely on unique reproductive strategies.
Seagrasses in northern China have different ways of reproducing based on where they live. Some populations rely more on making seeds, while others use asexual methods to grow. In Swan Lake lagoon, seagrasses have longer flowering times and produce more seeds compared to those in Huiquan Bay. The seagrasses in Huiquan Bay mainly reproduce asexually and have more shoots during winter. Understanding these differences is important for protecting and restoring seagrass habitats.
