These would mean more inundation events and potential exposure to higher salinities, respectively. What might the effect of these changes be on salt marsh vegetation? This is the question this article seeks to answer. The authors tested transplanted plants in three marshes in the Yaquina estuary with different degrees of brackishness. {\textquotedblleft}Our results suggest that inundation and salinity stress individually and (often) interactively reduce productivity across a suite of common marsh species.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)}, pages = {p.917{\textendash}928}, keywords = {Bearberry honeysuckle = Lonicera involucrate, climate change, Common yarrow = Achillea millefolium, Creeping bentgrass = Agrostis stolonifera, flooding, Idaho Flats, Juncus balticus ssp. ater, Oregon gumplant = Grindelia stricta, River mile 11, River Mile 14, salinity, salt marsh, Sea plantain = Plantago maritima, Seaside arrowgrass = Triglochin maritima, terrestrial vegetation, Tufted hairgrass = Deschampsia cespitosa, Tufted harigrass = Deschampsia cespitosa, Yaquina Bay, Yaquina River}, doi = {10.1007/s11258-013-0218-6}, author = {Janousek, Christopher N. and Mayo, Cara} }
