The response of two oligohaline marsh macrophyte communities to pulses of increased
salinity was studied over a single growing season in a greenhouse experiment. The plant …

The ability of common oligohaline marsh macrophytes of the northern Gulf of Mexico coast to
recover from pulses of increased salinity was investigated in a greenhouse experiment with …

In estuaries, future variation in sea level and river discharge will lead to saline intrusion into
low-salinity tidal marshes. To investigate the processes that control the differential response …

Wetlands in many coastal areas are threatened by sea level rise. Higher sea level will
increase the frequency and duration of inundation in coastal areas and, in some systems …

Recent evidence from field surveys suggests that periodic saline intrusions into tidal
freshwater wetlands may not reduce plant species richness and that reductions in richness …

Greenhouse mesocosms of freshwater marsh vegetation were exposed to a simulated
saltwater intrusion event followed by a recovery period during which water levels and …

Field and greenhouse experiments in which salinity and elevation were manipulated
demonstrated that the response of freshwater marshes to saltwater intrusion may be variable …

The effects of increased salinity on plant growth were examined in a greenhouse experiment
with four species common to oligohaline marshes of the northern Gulf of Mexico: Eleocharis …

Vegetation dieback is an important component of wetland loss in low salinity marshes of
coastal Louisiana. A field experiment was conducted to determine the factors responsible for …

Understanding of salt marsh plant zonation caused by abiotic and biotic factors is essential
for successful conservation plans in the face of ongoing environmental change. The …
