Improving Management Practices for Invasive Cordgrass in the Pacific Northwest: A Case Study of Spartina anglica
Invasive species can radically alter the landscape and crowd out native plants and animals — a problem that costs the United States more than $100 billion each year. Washington state wrestles with dozens of aquatic invasive species including several cordgrasses in the genus Spartina. S. alterniflora was introduced into Willapa Bay about 100 years ago and has colonized over 6000 hectares of prev...

متن کاملCompetition from native hydrophytes reduces establishment and growth of invasive dense-flowered cordgrass (Spartina densiflora)
Experimental studies to determine the nature of ecological interactions between invasive and native species are necessary for conserving and restoring native species in impacted habitats. Theory predicts that species boundaries along environmental gradients are determined by physical factors in stressful environments and by competitive ability in benign environments, but little is known about t...
متن کاملNitrogen uptake by the shoots of smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora
The smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora is the foundation species in intertidal salt marshes of the North American Atlantic coast. Depending on its elevation within the marsh, S. alterniflora may be submerged for several hours per day. Previous ecosystem-level studies have demonstrated that S. alterniflora marshes are a net sink for nitrogen (N), and that removal of N from flooding tidal wat...
متن کاملthe relationship between learners critical thinking ability and their performance in the reading sections of the tofel and ielts test
the study reflected in this thesis aims at finding out relationships between critical thinking (ct), and the reading sections of tofel and ielts tests. the study tries to find any relationships between the ct ability of students and their performance on reading tests of tofel and academic ielts. however, no research has ever been conducted to investigate the relationship between ct and the read...
