A Generic Modeling Approach to Biomass Dynamics of Sagittaria latifolia and Spartina alterniflora
نویسندگان
چکیده
explore relationships between species of emergent aquatic vegetation communities and their environmental conditions. The modeling approach was used to evaluate the potential persistence of two desired — and quantitatively important — rhizomatous plant species under various climatological conditions: Sagittaria latifolia, common in freshwater systems, can produce tubers as well as rhizomes; Spartina alterniflora is typical for coastal marshes. Both species are endemic to the United States.

Mapping Spartina alterniflora Biomass Using LiDAR and Hyperspectral Data
Large-scale coastal reclamation has caused significant changes in Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) distribution in coastal regions of China. However, few studies have focused on estimation of the wetland vegetation biomass, especially of S. alterniflora, in coastal regions using LiDAR and hyperspectral data. In this study, the applicability of LiDAR and hypersectral data for estimating S...
متن کاملEffects of Spartina alterniflora invasion on distribution of Moerella iridescens in a tidal flat of Western Pacific Ocean
The invasion of Spartina alterniflora significantly affected the local ecosystem of Western Pacific Ocean where Moerella iridescens lives. Five patches with different invasion stages of S. alterniflora were selected and the influence on distribution of M. iridescens was studied on the coast of Wenzhou Bay, China in 2007. The aggregated distribution pattern was proved by using Taylor's power re...

متن کاملEffects of Spartina alterniflora Invasion on Soil Respiration in the Yangtze River Estuary, China
Many studies have found that plant invasion can enhance soil organic carbon (SOC) pools, by increasing net primary production (NPP) and/or decreased soil respiration. While most studies have focused on C input, little attention has been paid to plant invasion effects on soil respiration, especially in wetland ecosystems. Our study examined the effects of Spartina alterniflora invasion on soil r...
متن کاملNitrogen inputs promote the spread of an invasive marsh grass.
Excess nutrient loading and large-scale invasion by nonnatives are two of the most pervasive and damaging threats to the biotic and economic integrity of our estuaries. Individually, these are potent forces, but it is important to consider their interactive impacts as well. In this study we investigated the potential limitation of a nonnative intertidal grass, Spartina alterniflora, by nitrogen...
