Soil water salinities at five intertidal elevations of two salt marshes, one on the bay side of
Bolivar Peninsula and the other on the bay side of Galveston Island, Texas, were sampled …

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 …

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

Proline accumulation by eight major species of salt marsh halophytes was examined under
growth chamber and field conditions. When the plants were exposed to increasing salinities …

summary Seasonal effects on leaf gas exchange and water relations were compared for
Avicennia germinans, a true mangrove, and Conocarpus erectus, a mangrove associate, at …

This study examines possible relationships between stress tolerance by marine algae and
distributions of these species. The ability to recover photosynthetic activity following …

Several winter rainstorms that occurred between 1982 and 1986 deposited a large amount
of virgin sediment, covering approximately 0.25 ha at the mouth of Pine Gulch Creek in a …

Abstract Background and Aims Atriplex (Halimione) portulacoides is a halophytic, C3 shrub.
It is virtually confined to coastal salt marshes, where it often dominates the vegetation. The …

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

Salinity plays significant roles in regulating the growth and distribution of mangroves, and
the salt tolerance mechanisms of mangroves have been the focus of research for several …
