Many species of plants live in estuaries. Some notable species include mangrove trees, cattails (also known as bulrushes), and eel grass. What are characteristics of an estuary? Estuaries are sheltered environments on the coasts of continents where freshwater rivers run into the ocean. They hold...
Individual plant size (1 study):Onereplicated, randomized, paired, controlled study in an estuary in the USA found that tilling compost into plots before planting salt marsh vegetation typically increased the overall size of plants surviving after 1–2 growing seasons. Size was reported as a combi...
Iron hazard in an impacted estuary: Contrasting controls of plants and implications to phytoremediationBiogeochemistryH. tiliaceusMine tailingsPhytoextractionT. domingensisDue to its abundance and role as a micronutrient for plants iron (Fe) is rarely perceived as a contaminant. However, in redox ...
Propagule pressure for exotic species was expressed as the distance from the field site to the estuary. The impact of invasions on native species was represented by exotic species richness. All variables were scale transformed. The relative effect of estimates is the percentage of the variance of...
The biomasses, carbon standing stocks, and exportations of three saltmarsh species - Scirpus maritimus, Spartina maritima and Zostera noltii - were determined and their isotopic composition analyzed to illustrate their role in carbon storage in a temperate Atlantic estuary (Mondego, Portugal). Biomas...

Impacts of burrowing crab on the dissolved inorganic nitrogen exchange at the sediment-water interface in the intertidal flat of the Yangtze estuary蟹类底... The burrowing crabs are important bioturbators of intertidal flats. Selecting the Yangtze estuary coastal and island high tidal flat wetland as...
Cattails are another plant that likes to live around freshwater. The brown tops of the cattails are actually its flowers. Many birds and some animals use parts of the cattail to make its nest. Duckweed is another common plant you find on floating on the top of lakes and ponds....
