Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Spartina alterniflora stem densities increased over time across inundation treatments.
- Intervention effect Typha latifolia stem densities increased over time across inundation treatments.
- Intervention effect Spartina alterniflora had the least total aboveground biomass at 40 cm flooding depths.
- Intervention effect Spartina patens had the least total aboveground biomass at 40 cm flooding depths.
- Intervention effect Spartina patens lost surface elevation significantly with increased flooding stress through week 20.
- Observation Typha latifolia gained surface elevation significantly.
- Recommendation Restoration projects increasing inundation within the tested depths are unlikely to negatively impact Spartina alterniflora growth.
- Recommendation Restoration projects increasing inundation within the tested depths are unlikely to negatively impact Typha latifolia growth.
- Association Increased inundation could reduce stem densities and aboveground biomass of Spartina patens.
