    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...

    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...

    Cellular Responses To Salinity Of Two Coastal Halophytes With Different Whole Plant Tolerance: Kosteletzkya Virginica (L.) Presl. And Sporobolus Virginicus (L.) Kunth

    At the whole plant level, Sporobolus virginicus is more salt-tolerant than Kosteletzkya virginica. Cellular level (callus and protoplast) responses to salinity are reported here. The callus of Kosteletzkya had hi...

    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...

    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...
