Enzymes which are affected by the addition of inorganic salts during in vitro assay were extracted from salt-sensitive Phaseolus vulgaris, salt-tolerant Atriplex spongiosa, and Salicornia australis and tested for sensitivity to NaCl. In each case malate dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase showed NaCl responses similar to those f...

The rapid decline in the extent and health of coastal salt marshes has created a need for nondestructive methods for evaluating the condition of salt marsh ecosystems. This paper describes simultaneous uses of field sampling and remote sensing approaches to understand salt marsh ecosystem functions and species distributions and discusses the implications for salt marsh monitoring using remote s...

Aegiphila brachiata is a forest native Brazilian species, known as peloteiro, with high capacity for biomass production and resistance to disturbances, having potential use in degraded ecosystems. Seeing the scarcity of studies on we aimed determine morphobiometric characteristics fruits, seeds seedlings; evaluate its germination potential. We determined physical fruits seeds, morphological des...
