Abstract
⺠Eelgrass displays physiological and metabolic acclimation to seasonal temperature changes. ⺠Temperature acclimation allows eelgrass to grow faster and penetrate to deeper waters. ⺠Acclimation cannot prevent sudden eelgrass mortality under extreme temperature events. ⺠Acclimation improve plant performance under slowly changing temperature conditions. ⺠Deteriorating light conditions is a greater threat than temperature to depth penetration.
