Abstract The Belowground Ecosystem Resiliency Model (BERM) is a geoinformatics tool that
was developed to predict belowground biomass (BGB) of Spartina alterniflora in salt …

Salinization is a great threat to wetlands and freshwater ecosystems. Increased salinity can
disturb native aquatic vegetation and provide an empty niche for invasion of non-native …

Saline-alkali stress is a major abiotic stress that limits plant growth, yield, and geographical
distribution. Alfalfa is a perennial legume with the largest planting area in the world because …

Land–sea interactions in coastal wetlands create heterogeneous vegetated habitats with
regular zonation along a topographic gradient. However, it's unclear how the trophic …

The resource‐availability hypothesis (RAH) and the intraspecific RAH (RAHintra), posit that
resources,(ie nutrients) control plant antiherbivore defenses. Both hypotheses predict that in …

Nitrogen (N) is an indispensable mineral nutrient for plant growth and development. Proper
nitrogen (N) management, in terms of quality and availability, can increase plant productivity …

Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) rapidly invade new habitats by seed jumping
propagation, and the early invasion process is characterized by discrete large patches and …
