Description
This dataset contains data from both active and passive acoustical methods for ecosystem monitoring in seagrass meadows. From a propagation perspective, gas bodies contained within the seagrass tissue as well as photosynthetic-driven bubble production result in attenuation, dispersion, and scattering of sound that produce increased transmission loss. For the passive approach, the detachment of gas bubbles from the plants is an important component of the ambient soundscape. Data was collected as part of a three month continuous deployment of an acoustical measurement system operating in a moderately dense seagrass bed dominated by Halodule wrightii (shoal grass) in Upper Laguna Madre, Texas. Manuscript is current under review in Estuaries and Coasts.
