The austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora Brong.: its taxonomy, biogeography and natural history
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-01)
Aim During the last 20 years, the austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora has been recorded aggressively invading estuarine environments in the USA, Spain and Morocco. Whereas this species is one of the three most widely ...
The role of the physical structure of Spartina densiflora Brong. in structuring macroinvertebrate assemblages
(Springer, 2011-11)
In Patagonian rocky salt marshes, the presence of the austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora provide habitat for diverse faunal assemblages. Two different mechanisms may influence the distribution and abundance patterns of ...
Cordgrass canopy elicits weak effects on sediment properties and microphytobenthic abundance in a harsh environment
(Inter-Research, 2016-05)
The magnitude of the outcome of ecosystem engineering is context-dependent; asenvironmental stresses increase, habitat amelioration by ecosystem engineers becomes more relevant. Moreover, the individual- and population-level ...
A New Species of Haimbachia Dyar (Pyraloidea: Crambidae: Crambinae) Feeding on Spartina Schreb. (Spartinaceae) from Argentina
(Entomological Society of Washington, 2020-10)
A new crambid moth, Haimbachia spartina Solis and Canepuccia, new species is described from Argentina and images of the adults and their genitalia are provided. The larvae were discovered feeding on species of saltmarsh ...
Rainfall intensity modulates the interaction between the marsh cordgrass Spartina densiflora and the mouse Akodon azarae
(Inter-Research, 2015-03-16)
Changes in rainfall patterns caused by anthropogenic global climate change or planetary-scale events, such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation, can significantly affect the abundance and distribution of organisms. Despite ...
Positive interactions of the mooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora on the mud snail Heleobia australis, in southwestern Atlantic salt marshes
(Elsevier Science, 2007-12)
The role of positive interactions is often crucial in communities with intense abiotic stress such as intertidal environments. Grasses acting as ecosystem engineers, for example, may ameliorate intertidal harsh physical ...
Flooding effect on the distribution of native austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora in Patagonian Salt marshes
(Coastal Education & Research Foundation, 2014-01)
Plant zonation is one of the most conspicuous ecological features of salt marshes worldwide. In Patagonian salt marshes the cordgrass Spartina alterniflora forms dense monospecific stands along the lowest marsh level, while ...
A new non-indigenous Crassostrea species in Southwest Atlantic salt marshes affects mortality of the cordgrass Spartina alterniflora
(Elsevier Science, 2014-04)
Biological invasions in marine and coastal systems may produce new trophic and nontrophic interactions influencing the structure of the invaded community. In the intertidal salt marshes of Samborombón Bay (36°19′20″S, ...
Above- and belowground biomass and nutrient pools of Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) in a South American salt marsh
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012-08)
In order to examine the role of position in the tidal range on biomass production and nutrient pools in Spartina alterniflora in an Argentinian estuary, we estimated productivity and the concentration of C, N and P in ...
Accumulation and distribution of trace metals within soils and the austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora in a Patagonian salt marsh
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015-12)
Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, and Zn were determined in soils and in below- and above-ground structures of Spartina densiflora in a Patagonian salt marsh (San Antonio, Río Negro, Argentina). Also, the relationship ...
