The Facilitative Role of Kosteletzkya pentacarpos in Transitioning Coastal Agricultural Land to Wetland During Sea Level Rise
Rising sea level is increasing soil salinity and flooding frequency, directly impacting low-lying coastal farmlands. In response to reduced production of traditional crops, dikes may be built which will preven...

Macrophyte disturbance alters aquatic surface microlayer structure, metabolism, and fate
Macrophytes drive the functioning of many salt marsh ecosystem components. We questioned how temporary clearing of the macrophyte community, during restoration, would impact processes at the scale of the aquat...

Differential population response of allocation, phenology, and tissue chemistry in Spartina alterniflora
Phenotypic variation within species is widespread among salt marsh plants. For Spartina alterniflora, the dominant species of low intertidal wetlands across the Altantic and Gulf coasts of the US, distinct phenol...

Nitrogen Pools of Macrophyte Species in a Coastal Lagoon Salt Marsh: Implications for Seasonal Storage and Dispersal
High nitrogen (N) loading rates received by coastal bays can have deleterious effects on aquatic ecosystems. Salt marshes can intercept land-based N through seasonal plant uptake, denitrification, and burial. ...

Salt Marsh Carbon Pool Distribution in a Mid-Atlantic Lagoon, USA: Sea Level Rise Implications
The distribution of carbon (C) within a salt marsh may vary among vegetation zones depending on production and decomposition dynamics and organic and mineral depositional history. We examined spatial and tempo...

Root-secreted Allelochemical in the Noxious Weed Phragmites Australis Deploys a Reactive Oxygen Species Response and Microtubule Assembly Disruption to Execute Rhizotoxicity
Phragmites australis is considered the most invasive plant in marsh and wetland communities in the eastern United States. Although allelopathy has been considered as a possible displacing...

Article
Predicting the Effectiveness of Phragmites Control Measures using a Rhizome Growth Potential Bioassay
In the last century, Phragmites australis (common reed) has expanded from a minor component of the mid-Atlantic tidal wetlands to a dominant species in many locations. Expansion of Phragmites results in decreased...

Article
Blocking Phragmites australis reinvasion of restored marshes using plants selected from wild populations and tissue culture
This study tested a vegetation strategy for controlling Phragmites australis invasion into brackish marshes as an alternative to the current technique of repeated herbicide sprays followed by burning. This strate...

Article
Rhizome growth dynamics of native and exotic haplotypes ofPhragmites australis (Common reed)
Phragmites australis (common reed), a clonal grass, has expanded from a minor component of the mid-Atlantic wetlands to a dominant species. It has been suggested that invasive populations...

Tidal creek surface film structural and metabolic dynamics
Surface films on marsh creeks form water-air interfaces of high biological activity. The development, movement, deposition, and breakup of the tidal creek surface film in a naturalSpartima alterniflora-dominated ...

Tissue culture and plant regeneration of the salt marsh monocots Juncus roemerianus and Juncus gerardi
Tissue culture and plant regeneration protocols for the salt marsh plants Juncus roemerianus Scheele and Juncus gerardi Loisel, were developed. J. roemerianus callus was induced from mature seeds cultured on Mura...

Seedling sulfide sensitivity among plant species colonizing Phragmites-infested wetlands
Seedling establishment is an important means of re-colonizing herbicide-treated and burned Phragmites australis marshes and of filling in newly created or naturally forming marshes. Knowing the differential sensi...

Article
Tissue culture and plant regeneration of Spartina alterniflora: Implications for wetland restoration
A tissue culture and plant regeneration protocol for the salt marsh grass, Spartina alterniflora, has been developed. Callus was efficiently induced on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1 mg L−1 2...

Resistance to salinity of Alnus maritima from disjunct wetlands: Symptoms of salt injury, comparison to other shrubs, and effect of inundation
Alnus maritima (seaside alder) occurs in wet or flooded soils on the Delmarva Peninsula (southern Delaware and adjacent counties of eastern Maryland, USA) and in small niches in Georgia and Oklahoma. Although som...

Tissue culture and plant regeneration of big cordgrass,Spartina cynosuroides: implications for wetland restoration
Big cordgrass,Spartina cynosuroides (Poaceae), grows in extensive stands in brackish marshes along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States and along the margins of tidal streams where freshwater wetland...

Regeneration of Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl. (Seashore Mallow) from callus cultures
Organogenic callus cultures of seashore mallow, Kosteletzkya virginica (L.) Presl., originated from excised mature embryos or stem sections of aseptically germinated plants initially cultured on Murashige & Skoog...

Tissue culture and long-term regeneration of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.
Phragmites australis tissue cultures were initiated from mature seeds on MS medium supplemented with 1 mgl-1 each of 2,4-D and IAA. Cultures displayed typical embryogenic callus that was compact and bright yello...

Interspecific differences in dead plant buffering capacity alter the impact of acid rain on decomposition rates in tidal marshes
Simulated acid rain did not alter respiration rates of microbial associations on dead Spartina alterniora from Delaware salt marshes or on dead Carex lyngbyei from Oregon brackish marshes. Since these dead plant-...

Halophytic crops for cultivation at seawater salinity
Several hundred halophytes from salt marshes and salt deserts of the world have been evaluated in our laboratory at various degrees of intensity, and a few have been selected for development as crops. The deve...

Oxygen consumption at the soil-water interface in a Delaware salt marsh
Oxygen consumption at the soil-water interface in A Delaware salt marsh was measured over the annual cycle. No significant difference between vegetation areas was detected, but summer rates were 2.5 times thos...
