Although tidal marshes are known for their coastal defense function during storm surges, the impact of extreme wave forcing on marsh development is poorly understood. Seedling survival in first season after germination, which may involve exposure to events, crucial natural establishment and human restoration marshes. We hypothesize that species-specific plant traits plays a significant role see...

With this paper we continue a new annual series, the main purpose of which is to make significant floristic findings from Russia and neighboring countries more visible in abroad. In total, presents records for 48 vascular plant species 6 Eurasian countries, obtained during field explorations, as well taxonomic revisions herbarium materials. For first time, locality Leontopodium leiolepis record...

Many ecosystems are greatly affected by ecosystem engineering, such as coastal salt marshes, where macrophytes trap sediment by reducing hydrodynamic energy. Nevertheless, little is known about the costs and benefits that are imposed on engineering species by the traits that underlie their ecosystem engineering capacity. We addressed this topic by comparing ecosystem engineering efficiency defi...
