Spartina Alterniflora Productivity and Salt Marsh Stability Relative to Marsh Platform Elevation
<p>Standing biomass of <em>Spartina alterniflora</em> Loisel. (<em>Spartina</em>) has been shown to correlate with the relative elevation of the sediment surface and anomalies in mean sea level. Aboveground biomass, stem density, stem height and percent organic nitrogen were measured as a function …

Spartina anglica population and environmental studies within the Solent salt marsh system
… examines the possible causes of decline of Spartina anglica marshes along the south coast of Britain with emphasis on the Solent marshes. The study shows that although there may be some genotypic differences between S. anglica gathered from sites in Britain. The disparities are not large …

Development of prairie cordgrass (spartina pectinata link) as a dedicated bioenergy crop
… grass species (Poaceae), prairie cordgrass (Spartina pectinata Link) showed potential as a dedicated bioenergy crop on marginal land. However, prairie cordgrass biomass-production research has been limited to several local varieties or cultivars. To further investigate its genetic resources, …

Water Column Ammonium Concentration and Salinity Influence Nitrogen Uptake and Growth of Spartina Alterniflora
<p>Salt marsh macrophytes, such as <em>Spartina alterniflora, </em>play a<em> </em>critical role in uptake and transformation of inorganic nitrogen before it reaches coastal waters, thereby reducing the potential for eutrophication. Although nitrogen availability typically limits <em>S. …

Analyzing remote sensing-derived normal difference vegetation index to predict coastal protection by Spartina alterniflora
… for quantifying vegetation drag, focusing on Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora), a smooth cordgrass native to the study site: Waquoit Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. The drag of a single plant is proportional to frontal area. The drag per bed area is proportional to the drag of a …

Evaluating rhizodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbons and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in wetland sediments containing spartina patens
… a former salt marsh at an active oil refinery. Spartina patens were grown in basin sediments during a field study and a greenhouse study over three consecutive growing seasons. Ninety percent (90%) survival was observed in field study plots containing sediments with <12% PHC. In the greenhouse …

A novel system to study seed recalcitrance and dormancy - comparative proteomics between two Spartina species
Spartina alterniflora is a dominant salt marsh cordgrass along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf coasts, and the species is widely used for wetland restoration in Louisiana. S. alterniflora seeds are shed dormant from the mother plant. However, long-term preservation of S. alterniflora seeds is …

Understanding the physiological and molecular basis of chilling tolerance across species of the C4 genera Miscanthus and Spartina
… regions. C4 species of the genera Miscanthus and Spartina have successfully colonized cool temperate and cold climatic regions, with Spartina having the most northerly distribution of any known C4 genus. Within these genera, Miscanthus × giganteus, Miscanthus sinensis and Spartina pectinata have …
