Abstract
⺠Seagrass, Zostera japonica, shoots were removed following intense clamming activity. ⺠The Z. japonica bed in the disturbed area recovered rapidly within 1 year. ⺠Rapid initial recovery occurred through vegetative reproduction from belowground tissues. ⺠Reproductive efforts of Z. japonica increased in response to the clamming activity. ⺠Belowground biomass increased for survival under the unstable sediment conditions.
