Shoot measurements (sheath length and width) for the eelgrass (Zostera marina) shoots sampled for whole genome sequencing collected from Bodega and Tomales Bay, CA, USA from July to September 2019

Abstract

This dataset provides shoot measurements for the shoots sampled for whole genome sequencing for Tomales Bay and Bodega Harbor (see related datasets for access to sequence data). Sheath width is measured on the terminal shoot using calipers at the abscission point (point where leaves emerge from the sheath). Sheath length is measured using a ruler to the nearest mm from the base to the abscission point. These data were used to record any differences in plant phenotype among the populations sampled. Shoot Length was not measured since it is susceptible to breakage and density was not measured as we could not ascribe density to a genetic individual.
