Values of temperature, T (C°); salinity (PSU); and Photosynthetically active radiation, PAR (μM/m2/sec) collected during the sampling (July, 2010 h ~14:00) with a Seabird Seacat Probe at the surface and at six depths along the bathymetric distribution of the meadow (depth). Sampling stations are indicated in bold.
