TLDR
A comparative study using Panicum hemitomon Schult.Abstract:
A glasshouse experiment was set up to investigate if sulphide addition affects the growth of this species. A comparative study using Panicum hemitomon Schult., which dominates the freshwater marshes of Louisiana, was conducted to determine whether wetland species that grow in mineral-poor, low-sulphide environments are more susceptible to sulphide additionsread more

Flooding: the survival strategies of plants.
TL;DR: Current experiments aim to unravel the adaptive mechanisms whereby terrestrial plants cope with the peculiar conditions of the floodplain, from the whole plant down to the cell.

The response of coastal marshes to sea‐level rise: Survival or submergence?
TL;DR: In this paper, the overall response of coastal marshes to relative sea-level rise depends upon the relative importance of the inorganic and organic components of the marsh soil and the impact of increased hydroperiod on net accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen deprivation stress in a changing environment
TL;DR: The diversity of responses to flooding in wild plants suggests that, depending on the life strategy and habitat of the species, many different mechanisms may be involved in adapting plants to survive periods of inundation and no one mechanism on its own is adequate for ensuring survival.

Soil physicochemical patterns and mangrove species distribution--reciprocal effects?
TL;DR: The implication of these findings is that mangrove seedling dynamics are influenced by spatial and temporal variation in soil Eh and sulphide levels, but that these soil factors are also modified by the root systems of adult trees.

The Chemistry of Submerged Soils
TL;DR: In this paper, the chemistry of submerged soils is discussed and the role of lake, estuarine, and ocean sediments as reservoirs of nutrients for aquatic plants and as sinks for terrestrial wastes.

Limits of the Natural Environment in Terms of pH and Oxidation-Reduction Potentials
TL;DR: In this article, the electron and the proton content (measured as electrode potential [Eh] and pH) of an environment characterize this environment in many ways, and the electrode potential and the pH are used as empirical parameters rather than as electrochemical data capable of thermodynamic interpretation.

Oxygen Deficiency in Spartina alterniflora Roots: Metabolic Adaptation to Anoxia
TL;DR: The aerenchyma (air-space) tissue in the wetland macrophyte Spartina alterniflora conveys sufficient oxygen to roots for predominately aerobic respiration in moderately, but not highly, reduced substrates.
