  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We studied biomass and macronutrient content of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Halodule wrightii&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(shoalgrass) throughout the winter and of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Thalassia testudinum&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(turtlegrass) and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Syringodium filiforme&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;(manateegrass) in January in Chandeleur Sound, Louisiana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Halodule&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;, the primary fcod of wintering redheads, had the lowest biomass of the three species on the study area in mid-winter. Macronutrient content of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Halodule&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;did not change during the winter, but aboveground and belowground biomass showed a 90 and 49% (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;lt;0.0001) decrease from October to March. Macronutrient content seems not to be the basis for selection by redheads of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i class="EmphasisTypeItalic "&gt;Halodule&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;over the other two seagrass species or of selection of belowground over aboveground parts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
