Spatial modeling and visualization of habitat response to hydrologic restoration in New England salt marshes
… to New England salt marshes were examined: halophyte species Spartina alterniflora, Spartina patens, and Juncus gerardii, and brackish invasive species Phragmites austrahs, Typha angustifolia, and Lythrum salicaria .</p><p>The model was applied to spatial grids representing marsh area at …

Atvps34, the Arabidopsis Phosphotidylinositol 3-Kinase, Its Functions in ABA and Auxin Signaling Pathways and the Molecular Basis for Salinity Stress Tolerance in Extremophile Thellungiella Halophila
… a close relative of Arabidopsis thaliana, is a halophyte that can survive in sea water. Microarray transcript profiling and intensity analysis, quantitative RT-PCR, and metabolite profiles revealed shared and divergent responses to salt stress in the two species. Sixty percent of regulated genes …

The Influence of Hydrogeomorphology, Soil Redox Conditions, and Salinity on the Spatial Zoning of Saltgrass, Salt Rush, and Cattails in Scotts Creek Marsh, Swanton Pacific Ranch, CA
… that influence the zoning of the three dominant halophyte communities in SCM and (ii) to the test the effectiveness of Indicator of Reduction in Soil (IRIS) tubes to indicate the reduction of S. The study examined the following parameters from April 6 to July 21, 2013: (i) the HGM of Scotts Creek …

Characterization of sodium transport at the plasma membrane of Spergularia marina
… into the cell. Whole plant studies using the halophyte Spergularia marina have demonstrated high permeability for Na$\sp{+}$ into and out of root cells and the research reported here investigates these mechanisms by directly measuring Na$\sp{+}$ transport using radiolabelled Na$\sp{+}$ and …

Modeling salt movement and halophytic crop growth on marginal lands with the APEX model
… Cultivation of highly salt-tolerant plants, or halophytes, may increase productivity compared to conventional salt-sensitive crops (i.e., glycophytes), thereby increasing the economic potential of these marginal lands affected by salinity. To better understand the long-term impacts of halophyte …

Distribution of non-native wetland plants is facilitated by urbanization and roads in the Chicago region
… and roads. For example, occurrences of halophyte species were best predicted by road variables; halophytes were more commonly associated with major roads such as interstates and federal highways, road types that are likely to receive greater applications of de-icing salts. For the second …

Physiological Bases and a Novel Genetic Determinant of Water-Use Efficiency (WUE)
… unknown. We utilized diverse accessions of the halophyte <em>Eutrema salsugineum </em>to ultimately identify a novel genetic determinant of WUE. <em>E. salsugineum</em> accessions from locations with low water availability, temperature, and radiation have lower transpirational water loss and …

The recreation of estuarine ecosystem : a case study at Paull Holme Strays, Humber Estuary, UK.
… experimental studies on the colonization of halophytes within the salt mars were conducted. The study indicates that an abiotic factor such as sediment accretion is occurring at a rapid rate in the northwest of the restoration site. Grain size and organic content have remained constant and …

Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics of a Lagoon Salt Marsh in Davenport, California
<p>Wetlands are complex environments that play a critical role in regulating the global biogeochemical cycle of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). Wetlands are critical contributors to global climate change and atmospheric chemistry since they store as much as 33% of the world’s soil organic carbon …
