1. Panicum hemitomon Schult. plants were colleeted from Louisiana's Mississippi River
deltaic plain freshwater marsh and subjected to salinities of 5–12 ppt under controlled …

Abstract Spartina patens (Ait.) Muhl. plants were collected from a Mississippi River deltaic
plain brackish marsh located along the Louisiana Gulf Coast. The plants were subjected to …

Wetland plant communities in coastal Louisiana are degrading, resulting in the loss of live
emergent vegetation and subsequent succession to open water. Saltwater intrusion has …

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

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 …

On two transects perpendicular to and crossing the ecotone between Spartina foliosa and
Salicornia virginica measurements were made of soil water content (water as percentage of …

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 …

Nineteen clones of Panicum hemitomon, a fresh marsh dominant, and 25 clones of Spartina
alterniflora, a salt marsh dominant, were collected from the coastal marshes of Louisiana …

In many southern California salt marshes, increased freshwater inflows have promoted the
establishment of exotic plant species. A comparative study showed that a native, perennial …

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 …
