Salt marshes are unique ecosystems that are brimming with diversity, and provide crucial shelter to coastal communities.

Plant associations of Eshtehard salt marshes in Karaj (Iran)

The vegetation of Eshtehard salt marshes in Karaj was studied, using the Braun-Blanquet method. Sixty five relevés recorded in different salt habitats were analyzed by Analyse Factorielle des Correspondances (AFC) and Classification Ascendant Hierarchique (CAH) methods, using the Anaphyto software. In general, 11 plant associations determined in the area: Aeluropodetum littoralis, Artemisietum ...

Die-Off of Southern U.S. Salt Marshes

Uncertain future of New England salt marshes

Salt marsh plant communities have long been envisioned as dynamic, resilient systems that quickly recover from human impacts and natural disturbances. But are salt marshes sufficiently resilient to withstand the escalating intensity and scale of human impacts in coastal environments? In this study we examined the independent and interactive effects of emerging threats to New England salt marshe...
