spartina cynosuroides/potassium

Spartina densiflora is a C(4) halophytic species that has proved to have a high invasive potential which derives from its physiological plasticity to environmental factors, such as salinity. It is found in coastal marshes of south-west Spain, growing over sediments with between 1 mmol l(-1) and 70

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of using a fertilizer obtained from waste substances on selected physical and chemical properties of soil and biomass yield Spartina pectinate. The fertilizer used for soil (C) fertilisation contained sewage sludge (SS), waste soil fractions of brown

Spartina densiflora is a C(4) halophytic species that has proved to have a high invasive potential which derives from its clonal growth and its physiological plasticity to environmental factors, such as salinity. A greenhouse experiment was designed to investigate the synergic effect of 380 and 700

An experiment was designed to investigate the effect of silicon supply (0 and 500 μM) on Spartina densiflora plants grown at two copper (Cu) concentrations: 0 and 15 mM. Growth parameters together with total concentrations of calcium, Cu, potassium, magnesium, manganese, sodium and nitrogen were

The non-essential element silicon is known to improve plant fitness by alleviating the effects of biotic and abiotic stresses, particularly in crops. However, its possible role in the exceptional tolerance of halophytes to salinity has not been investigated. This study reports the effect of Si

The cordgrass Spartina argentinensis, which occurs in inland marshes of the Chaco-Pampean regions of Argentina, has been found to be a new chromium hyperaccumulator. A glasshouse experiment was designed to investigate the effect of Cr(6+) from 0 to 20 mmol l(-1) on growth and photosynthetic

Phragmites australis, Puccinnellia nuttalliana (salt accumulators), and Spartina pectinata (salt excretor) were investigated based on their relative abilities to phytoextract chloride from a cement kiln dust landfill in Bath, ON. Salt tolerance mechanisms were found to affect phytoextraction

Four natives Canadian recretohalophytic species: Atriplex canescens, Armeria maritima, Spartina pectinata, and Distichlis spicata were examined to determine their relative uptake and excretion of chloride in the context of phytoremediation. Adult plants were grown in

H₂S is a small molecule known to have multiple signaling roles in animals. Recently, evidence shows that H₂S also has signaling functions in plants; however, the role of H₂S in invasive plants is unknown. Spartina alterniflora is a typical invasive species
