Physical and biotic drivers of plant distribution across estuarine salinity gradients

2004-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Although it has long been recognized that marsh plant community composition shifts across estuarine salinity gradients, the mechanisms responsible for this species zonation have never been experimentally examined. In southern New England marshes of the United States, we investigated the relative importance of physical and biotic factors in generating estuarine species distribution patterns. Greenhouse studies reve...
