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 کاملRetrotransposons and genomic stability in populations of the young allopolyploid species Spartina anglica C.E. Hubbard (Poaceae).
Spartina x townsendii arose during the end of the 19th century in England by hybridization between the indigenous Spartina maritima and the introduced Spartina alterniflora, native to the eastern seaboard of North America. Duplication of the hybrid genome gave rise to Spartina anglica, a vigorous allopolyploid involved in natural and artificial invasions on several continents. This system allow...
متن کاملNitrogen Level Changes the Interactions between a Native (Scirpus triqueter) and an Exotic Species (Spartina anglica) in Coastal China
The exotic species Spartina anglica, introduced from Europe in 1963, has been experiencing a decline in the past decade in coastal China, but the reasons for the decline are still not clear. It is hypothesized that competition with the native species Scirpus triqueter may have played an important role in the decline due to niche overlap in the field. We measured biomass, leaf number and area, a...
متن کاملBenthic metabolism and sulfur cycling along an inundation gradient in a tidal Spartina anglica salt marsh
Central aspects of carbon and sulfur biogeochemistry were studied along a transect extending from an unvegetated mudflat into a Spartina anglica salt marsh. Conditions along the transect differed with respect to tidal elevation, sediment characteristics, vegetation coverage, and benthic macrofauna abundance. Dark sediment O2 uptake and CO2 emission at the highly bioturbated mudflat were low and...
متن کاملThe Correlation between Cigarette Smoking and Salivary Flow Rate
Background and aim: Side effects of cigarette smoking are among the major concerns. These complications can adversely affect the oral environment. Since reduced salivary flow rate increases the incidence of tooth decay and other dental and oral problems, the present research aimed to investigate the relationship between cigarette smoking and salivary flow rate. Materials and Methods: In this h...
