Table 2

Pearson’s correlation coefficients (r) for the relationships between latitude and each of the environmental variables used for this study.

Correlation with latitude (N)

Temperature (°C)−0.672
pH0.598
Salinity0.631
Mud (%)0.601
CO2 (%)0.222
CaCO3 (%)0.404
Shoot density (shoot. m−2)−0.716
Aboveground biomass (g DW m−2)0.218
