Salinization of marshes in Argentina: Natural vs. anthropogenic factors
(Cuvillier Verlag, 2017)
In the littoral zone of Argentina, marsh environments under arid, semi-arid and humid conditions are numerous. In this work, salt marshes located in Río de la Plata Estuary, Bahía Blanca Estuary, San Antonio Bay and San ...
Herbivory patterns along the intertidal gradient of Juncus roemerianus salt marshes
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Grasshopper herbivory can vary substantially among locations within a salt marsh or among marshes, but its variability along the marsh intertidal gradient (extending from the shoreline to the upland fringing forest) is not ...
Temperate Coastal Wetlands: Morphology, Sediment Processes, and Plant Communities
(Elsevier, 2018)
Temperate coastal wetlands include a large variety of environments, from tidal flats and salt marshes to nontidal wetlands at the landward edge, whose hydrology is still influenced by sea level. Salt marsh evolution and ...
Ecological processes shaping Central Patagonian salt marsh landscapes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2011-01)
Plant zonation is one of the most conspicuous ecological features of salt marshes worldwide. In this work we used a combination of field transplant and greenhouse experiments to evaluate the importance of interspecific ...
Dissimilarity in plant species diversity between salt marsh and neighboring environments decreases as environmental harshness increases
(Inter-research, 2013-12)
How species similarity changes between habitats along environmental gradients is still a central challenge in ecological studies. We assessed whether marsh plant characteristics are associated with geographic changes in ...
Increase of organic matter transport between marshes and tidal flats by the burrowing crab Neohelice (Chasmagnathus) granulata Dana in SW Atlantic salt marshes
(Elsevier Science, 2011-05)
Marshes are considered exporters of organic material, with tides being one of the most studied transport mechanisms. However, animal movements can enhance this energy transport and even, in some cases, import energy to ...
Does low temperature prevent Spartina alterniflora from expanding toward the austral-most salt marshes?
(Springer, 2011-04)
Along the Atlantic coast of South America, the northern salt marshes (lower than 43°S) are dominated by Spartina species while the southern salt marshes (greater than 43°S) are dominated by Sarcocornia perennis. The most ...
A characterization of Patagonian salt marshes
(Springer, 2009-06)
We combined literature reviews with an analysis of regional cartography, aerial photographs, and satellite images to identify the locations of heretofore-unknown salt marshes along the Patagonian coastline of Argentina. ...
First results of energy and mass exchange in a salt marsh on southeastern South America
(Elsevier Science, 2018-12)
Salt marshes are vulnerable ecosystems since they are found in locations often preferred for urban development. They produce a great amount of biomass, and also are of great interest because of the ecosystem services they ...
Diet of the marsh deer in the Parana River Delta, Argentina: a vulnerable species in an intensive forestry landscape
(Springer Verlag Berlín, 2020-01)
The marsh deer (Blastocerus dichotomus) is the largest deer native to South America, occurring in wetlands and marshy habitats. The southernmost population of the species is found in the Paraná River Delta, Argentina, in ...
