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 …

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 …

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 …

Water relations, rates of photosynthesis and respiration, and patterns of CO2 fixation were
studied in four salt marsh species: two grasses, Spartina foliosa Trin. and Distichlis spicata …

This book provides a broad introduction to saltmarsh ecology, concentrating on plants,
although much of the information should also be of interest to zoologists. Particular attention …

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 …

Plantago maritima L. was grown at three levels of salinity, 50, 200, 350 mol m− 3 NaCl, and
the effects on growth, ion content and photosynthetic capacity were studied. Shoot and root …

The marine angiosperms, or seagrasses, constitute a small but important plant group,
common to many coastal habitats. In spite of their high productivity within near-shore …

Increasing atmospheric CO2 may result in alleviation of salinity stress in salt‐sensitive
plants. In order to assess the effect of enriched CO2 on salinity stress in Andropogon …

(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 …
