Aim During the last 20 years, the austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora has been recorded
aggressively invading estuarine environments in the USA, Spain and Morocco. Whereas this …

• Premise of the study: Phenotypic acclimation of individual plants and genetic differentiation
by natural selection within invasive populations are two potential mechanisms that may …

Composition of salt marsh vegetation is important to wetland ecosystem health, and
monitoring invasive species is critical. The purpose of this study was to examine the utility of …

Despite extensive loss of wetlands across the state, California retains a rich wetland
heritage, with a particularly diverse range of wetland types in the coastal region (Ferren et al …

Some introduced species spread rapidly beyond their native range and into novel habitats
mediated by a high degree of phenotypic plasticity and/or rapid evolutionary responses. In …

Humboldt Bay has the highest rate of sea level rise (SLR) in California (47.2 cm/century).
Due to compaction and tectonic subsidence, former tidelands and pastures behind dikes …

A long time ago there was a small grassy pool located where Humboldt Bay [Wigi] now lies.
In this pool there were many frogs, so many that there was not food enough for all of them …

Abstract This Alaska Spartina Prevention and Response Plan reviews the known impacts,
biology, and invasion history of Spartina on the west coast. It outlines strategies for …

The invasive salt marsh cordgrass Spartina densiflora degrades native salt marsh
ecosystems by altering abiotic processes and reducing native biodiversity. The dispersal of …

Comprehensive primary productivity measurements of the impact of invasive species are
important environmental indicators. This study obtained measurements of the impact of …
