The introduction and spread of smooth cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora ) in South San Francisco Bay
TL;DR: Spartina alterniflora has a wider intertidal distribution than S. foliosa and outproduced the native cordgrass in all aspects that were studied, and once established, it spreads more rapidly vegetatively than the native species.

Spatial Pattern Analysis of Seed Banks: An Improved Method and Optimized Sampling
TL;DR: A comparison of three sampling techniques revealed that the precision of seed—number estimates can be improved by taking a large number of small samples, or by subsampling large whole units with very small subunits, whereas the smaller number of large samples favored by many seed—bank researchers generally results in imprecise seed estimates.

Californian Salt-Marsh Vegetation: An Improved Model of Spatial Pattern
Joy B. Zedler,John C. Callaway,Julie Desmond,Gabrielle Vivian-Smith,Gregory D. Williams,Gary Sullivan,Alice E. Brewster,Brian K. Bradshaw +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined plant species occurrences in relation to elevation, proximity to the bay, and proximity to tidal creeks at a near-pristine wetland in San Quintin Bay, Baja California, Mexico.

Salt stress limitation of seedling recruitment in a salt marsh plant community.
TL;DR: The results show that seedling recruitment by high marsh perennial turfs is limited by high soil salinities and that consequently their population dynamics are determined primarily by clonal growth processes.

The Role of Seed Banks in the Vegetation Dynamics of Prairie Glacial Marshes
A. G. van der Valk,C. B. Davis +1 more
TL;DR: The seed-bank results and vegetation sampling reveal that there are 3 types of species present in prairie marsh seed banks: emergent species (Typha, Scirpus, Sparganium, Sagittaria) germinate on exposed mud flats or in very shallow water; submersed and free-floating species (Lemna, Spirodela, Ceratophyllum, Naias, Potamogeton) whose dormant seeds or turions can survive

The role of seed banks in the persistence of ontario's coastal plain flora
Paul A. Keddy,Anton A. Reznicek +1 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that water-level fluctuations are essential to the long-term survival of lakeshores and some lakeshore species found there can be considered "coastal plain disjuncts" similar to those of southwestern Michigan and adjacent Indiana, and central Wisconsin.

Buried, viable seeds in two California bunchgrass sites and their bearing on the definition of a flora
Jack Major,William T. Pyott +1 more
TL;DR: The soil content of buried, viable seeds in the two stands of Stipa pulchra, bunchgrass vegetation in the eastern foothills of the central Coast Ranges of California is used as a measure of this potential flora.
