The comparative responses of photosynthesis and growth to salinity were investigated for
two C 3 and one C 4 species native to the tidal marshes of the San Francisco Bay …

Increased salinity affects plants by toxic ion effects and by lowering soil water potential,
which makes it difficult for plants to take up water. Salt marshes in Kansas are characterized …

The salt marsh environment is severe. Stressful edaphic factors include high and variable
salinity, a strongly reducing environment, anoxia, and toxic compounds such as hydrogen …

Comparative laboratory gas exchange and relative growth rate experiments were conducted
on three native California coastal strand species at four salinity treatment levels. Relative …

(1) Net CO2 exchange and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR; 400-700 nm) were
measured periodically between August 1974 and September 1979 in two salt marsh …

Plants of the salt marsh grass Spartina alterniflora Loisel were collected from North Carolina
and grown under controlled nutrient, temperature, and photoperiod conditions. Plants were …

Mono-specific communities of the C 3 sedge, Scirpus olneyi and the C 4 grass, Spartina
patens, were exposed to normal ambient or elevated CO 2,(ca. 680 μl l− 1) throughout the …

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 …

The C 3 grass species Scirpus maritimus L. and Puccinellia maritima (Huds.) Parl., and the
C 4 grass species Spartina anglica CE Hubbard and Spartina patens (Ait.) Muhl. were …

Laboratory and field gas exchange measurements were made on C 3 (Scirpus olneyi Gray)
and C 4 (Spartina patens (Ait.) Mahl., Distichlis spicata (L.) Green) species from an …
