Coastal salt marshes are sensitive to global climate change and may play an important role
in mitigating global warming. To evaluate the impacts of Spartina alterniflora invasion on …

Spartina alterniflora was intentionally introduced to China in 1979 for the purpose of
sediment stabilization and dike protection, and has continuously replaced native plants or …

Spartina alterniflora exhibits great invading potential in the coastal marsh ecosystems. Also,
nitrogen (N) deposition shows an apparent increase in the east of China. To evaluate CH4 …

Mangroves are critical in global carbon budget while vulnerable to exotic plant invasion.
Spartina alterniflora, one of typical salt marsh plant grows forcefully along the coast of China …

Coastal wetlands are large reservoirs of soil carbon (C) and have been invaded globally by
the exotic species Spartina alterniflora. However, the effects of these invasions on soil C …

Coastal (marine) wetlands are recognized as one of the world's most efficient sinks for
organic carbon (“blue carbon”), and credits for their restoration and conservation can be …

Whether plant invasion increases ecosystem carbon (C) stocks is controversial largely due
to the lack of knowledge about differences in ecophysiological properties between invasive …

Invasive alien plants increase both plant N and soil inorganic N pools in many terrestrial
ecosystems. This is believed to be the result of altered plant–soil–microbe feedbacks that …

Salt marshes play an important role in removing excess nitrogen through microbial
processes such as denitrification and anaerobic ammonia oxidation (anammox), and one of …

Spartina alterniflora, a perennial grass with C4-photosynthesis, shows great invading
potential in the coastal ecosystems in the east of China. We compared trace gas emissions …
