Coastal vegetation plays an important role for climate change mitigation. Compared with
terrestrial ecosystems, coastal vegetation shows higher rates of atmospheric CO2 uptake …

In order to increase our understanding of the interaction of soil-halophyte (Salicornia
brachiata) relations and phytoremediation, we investigated the aboveground biomass …

Over the history of ecology, well-established generalizations were refined or even changed
after the appearance or consideration of new evidence. Here, we review results obtained in …

Crabs and halophytes are important indicators of soil composition and fertility in salt marsh
ecosystems. Many previous studies have examined the effects of crab excavation on soil …

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 …

Abstract The San Antonio Bay is a protected natural coastal area of Argentina that has been
exposed to mining wastes over the last three decades. Iron and trace metals of potential …

Different types of sediments in salt marsh have different physical and chemical characters.
Thus sediment type plays a role in plant competition and growth in salt marsh ecosystems …

Patagonian salt marshes are not affected by pollution, but historical mining wastes are a
continuous source of metals to salt marsh in San Antonio Bay. The present study evaluated …

Large amounts of tidally accumulated detritus (ie, wrack) are an important source of
disturbance affecting different abiotic and biotic characteristics in salt marshes, which could …

We present a comparative analysis of the biomass dynamics of the two dominant Spartina
plant species in South West Atlantic saltmarshes: Spartina densiflora Brong.(high intertidal …
