Early growth of Ceriops australis and C. decandra was studied in response to salinity and
irradiance under laboratory conditions. These results provided a basis for interpretation of …

The effects of the concentrations and species of ions in the external medium upon the
growth of Suaeda maritima, a coastal halophyte, have been investigated. Plants grown in …

Physiological and biochemical responses induced by salt stress were studied in laboratory-
grown young plants of the mangrove, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza. The growth rates and leaf …

All plants can be killed by salt solutions if the concentration is high enough. The ability to
survive at a particular salinity is important ecologically in influencing the natural distribution …

Restoration of salt marsh ecosystems is an important concern in the eastern United States to
mitigate damage caused by industrial development. Little attention has been directed to the …

Crithmum maritimum is a perennial Apiaceae growing naturally in rocky coasts. The oil
extracted from its seeds seems to be convenient for human consumption. Physiological …

It is increasingly acknowledged that stressors can resonate across the boundaries between
ecosystems. Salt marshes, vast areas shaped by ocean-shore interactions, constitute prime …

Flooding and salinity stress are predicted to increase in coastal Louisiana as relative sea
level rise (RSLR) continues in the Gulf of Mexico region. Although wetland plant species are …

Three grasses (Poa pratensis, Hordeum jubatum, and Puccinellia nuttalliana) were grown in
monoculture and three-species mixture at each of eight salinity levels in a controlled …

Tolerance to salinity varies among species. This has led to the division of species into
physiological groups: glycophytes that tolerate only low concentrations of salt and …
