Other claims from this paper (14)
- Observation Triglochin had low shoot biomass in field plots.
- Observation Triglochin had low shoot biomass in greenhouse pots.
- Observation Triglochin had a high root:shoot ratio in the field.
- Observation Triglochin had a high root:shoot ratio in the greenhouse.
- Observation Triglochin had high tissue nitrogen content in the field.
- Observation Triglochin had high tissue nitrogen content in the greenhouse.
- Association Sarcocornia pacifica outgrew Triglochin.
- Association Frankenia salina outgrew Triglochin.
- Intervention effect Sarcocornia pacifica shoot biomass was 44%–45% lower with Triglochin in greenhouse pots.
- Intervention effect Frankenia salina shoot biomass was 44%–45% lower with Triglochin in greenhouse pots.
- Observation The greenhouse biomass reduction was not found in field plots with unconfined roots.
- Intervention effect Species grown with enriched Triglochin had higher nitrogen isotope values in greenhouse pots.
- Observation Field plants had isotope values exceeding background levels, indicating nitrogen uptake from Triglochin.
- Recommendation The authors suggest restoration plantings of Triglochin, with tests of effects on diversity.
