Abstract A Leslie-Lewis matrix projection model and a Markov chain model for whole plant growth in the giant Kelp,Macrocystis pyrifera, are developed and compared. Parameters of the models are estimated from field data gathered from several plants in New Zealand over a four-month period. Interpretations of the results are discussed.
