Other claims from this paper (12)

Observation Germination percentage did not differ among populations of the same Salicornia species.
Observation Germination percentage differed significantly between Salicornia dolichostachya and Salicornia brachystachya.
Association Both species germinated best at low salinity.
Association The optimum germination temperature decreased as salinity increased.
Intervention effect The opposite salinity order (high then low) gave a higher total germination percentage than low salinity followed by high salinity.
Intervention effect Undersaturated soil moisture had no effect on germination of Salicornia dolichostachya.
Intervention effect Undersaturated soil moisture significantly decreased germination of Salicornia brachystachya.
Intervention effect Fluctuating temperature regimes had no effect on total germination percentage of Salicornia seeds.
Intervention effect Fluctuating temperature regimes had an effect on the germination rate of Salicornia seeds.
Intervention effect Seeds buried under 1 cm or more of sediment had seedlings unable to emerge.
Intervention effect Seeds buried under 1 cm or more of sediment still germinated.
Observation A field experiment confirmed the laboratory germination findings for Salicornia.
