Journal ArticleDOI
The effects of oil spill and clean-up on dominant US Gulf coast marsh macrophytes: a review.
TL;DR: The objective of this review was to synthesize existing information regarding the effects of petroleum hydrocarbons on marsh macrophytes in a manner that will help guide research and improve spill-response efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reexamination of pore water sulfide concentrations and redox potentials near the aerial roots of Rhizophora mangle and Avicennia germinans
TL;DR: The distribution of R. mangle and A. germinans may be related to patterns of soil H2S concentrations and the differential abilities of these two mangrove species to oxidize the anaerobic substrate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species and population variation to salinity stress in Panicum hemitomon, Spartina patens, and Spartina alterniflora: morphological and physiological constraints
TL;DR: The results suggest that plant size attributes can be very important in explaining population differences in saltolerance in glycophytes, but may be independent of salt tolerance in halophyte adaptations, which have specialized physiological and anatomical adaptations that can confer salinity stress resistance through mechanisms such as selective ion exclusion and secretion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactive Effects of Hydrology and Salinity on Oligohaline Plant Species Productivity: Implications of Relative Sea-level Rise
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of sea-level rise on the productivity of Panicum hemitomon, Sagittaria lancifolia, and Spartanina patens in coastal Louisiana and the southeastern coastal plain were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation's importance in regulating surface elevation in a coastal salt marsh facing elevated rates of sea level rise
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured elevation change and surface accretion over a 4-year period in recently subsided, unvegetated marshes, resulting from drought-induced marsh dieback, in paired planted and unplanted plots.
