DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2556
Abstract: Salt marshes and other blue carbon ecosystems have been increasingly recognized for their carbon (C)‐sink function. Yet, an improved assessment of organic carbon (OC) stocks and C‐sequestration rates is still required to include blue C… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02408-0
Abstract: The cordgrass Spartina anglica C.E. Hubbard (Poaceae) is an invasive transformer in many salt marsh ecosystems worldwide. Relatively little is known about the capacity of Spartina to accelerate salt marsh succession and to protect salt… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-017-0973-6
Abstract: The extensive loss of tidal marsh habitat surrounding the San Francisco Bay has led to numerous restoration projects to restore ecosystem function. Native cordgrass (Spartina foliosa) is important for sediment accumulation and nesting habitat for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envexpbot.2020.104274
Abstract: Abstract Closely-related species co-occur within heterogeneous habitats by occupying separate ecological niches as the result of divergent selection that maintains adaptive differentiation. Soil salinity is one of the most important factors influencing vegetation distribution in… read more here.
