Avian communities in Spartina maritima restored and non-restored salt marshes
(2013-05-01)
Capsule Salt marsh restoration with the native halophytes Spartina maritima and Zostera noltii can lead to significant improvement in habitat, increasing bird diversity over a 2-year period. Aims To assess the evolution ...

Phenotypic plasticity of polyploid plant species promotes transgressive behaviour in their hybrids
(Oxford University Press, 2018)
Hybridization is a frequent process that leads to relevant evolutionary consequences, but there is a lack of studies regarding the relationships of the variability of the response of parental plant species to environmental ...

Effect of Low and High Temperatures on the Photosynthetic Performance of Lantana camara L. Leaves in Darkness
(Pleiades Publishing, Ltd, 2013)
Low and high temperatures are known as most important factors influencing plant performance and distribution. Plants of Lantana camara L. coming from two distinct geographical populations (Iberian Peninsula and Galápagos ...

Wrack burial reduces germination and establishment of the invasive cordgrass Spartina densiflora
(2014)
Germination and emergence of halophytes may decrease significantly by seed burial in dead plant material, or wrack, which is common and abundant in tidal marshes. The effects of plant debris (wrack) burial on seed germination ...

Lantana camara L.: A weed with great light-acclimation capacity
(Akademie Ved Ceske Republiky, 2011)
Plant invasions may be limited by low radiation levels in ecosystems such as forests. Lantana camara has been classified among the world's 10 worst weeds since it is invading many different habitats all around the planet. ...

Spartina versicolor Fabre: Another case of Spartina trans-Atlantic introduction?
(Springer International Publishing, 2016-08-01)
Intercontinental introductions are widespread in the genus Spartina, with important ecological and evolutionary consequences. The native or introduced status of Spartina species is then critical with regard to biodiversity ...

Effects of competition from the invasive Cordgrass Spartina densiflora on Native Atriplex portulacoides
(IJSER Publications, 2014)
Invasion by the South American cordgrass Spartina densiflora Brongn. in European salt marshes is causing concern about potential impacts to native plant communities., S. densiflora colonization of mid-marsh habitats may ...

Biomass and clonal architecture of the cordgrass Spartina patens (Poaceae) as an invasive species in two contrasted coastal habitats on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula
(Nationale Plantentuin van België, 2017)
Background and aims – The spread of invasive exotic species is one of the most important threats for salt marshes and cordgrasses (genus Spartina) are among the most invasive halophytes. Recent analyses have revealed low ...

Low genetic diversity contrasts with high phenotypic variability in heptaploid Spartina densiflora populations invading the Pacific coast of North America
(Wiley Open Access, 2018)
Species can respond to environmental pressures through genetic and epigenetic changes and through phenotypic plasticity, but few studies have evaluated the relationships between genetic differentiation and phenotypic ...
