The Effect of Salinity on Widgeongrass

Angiosperm Production of Three Virginia Marshes in Various Salinity and Soil Nutrient Regimes

“…Laboratory experiments have shown that macrophytic angiosperm production decreases as salinity increases (Kaushik, 1963;Gosselink, 1970;Palmisano, 1970;Macke and Ungar, 1971;Mayer and Low, 1971;Phleger, 1971). Phleger (1971) found that the California cordgrass, Spartina foliosa, grew best when cultivated in a freshwater nutrient solution which is in agreement with what Adams (1963) found for J3.…”

Comparison of estimated and background subsidence rates in Texas-Louisiana geopressured geothermal areas

“…In addition to the citations above, there is an extensive body of literature addressing the effects of salinity on coastal wetland vegetation (Webb, 1965; McMillan and Mosely, 1967; Mayer and Low, 1970;Hopkins, 1973; Ward and Armstrong, 1979). In their report on the effects of freshwater inflows to Matagorda Bay, Texas, Ward and Armstrong (1979) have identified from the literature the salinity tolerance limits and optimal ranges for several of t h e dominant and common floral species of Gulf coastal marshes.…”

Workshop proceedings: management of western forests and grasslands for nongame birds

“…Bolen's (1964) monograph dealt with the plant ecology of a spring~fed salt marsh in Utah, and was supplemented by McKnight and Low (1969) with a later study of the same marsh following impoundment. The influence of salinity on growth and reproduction of marsh plants was investigated by Kaushik (1963), Teeter (1965) and Mayer and Low (1970). A thorough review of marsh plants and their management can be found in the bibliography prepared by Wentz et al (1974).…”
