Title Seed Banks of Phragmites australis-Dominated Brackish Wetlands: Relationships to Seed Viability, Inundation, and Land Cover
Creator Baldwin, Andrew H. Kettenring, Karin M. Whigham, Dennis F.
Description In tidal wetlands of the eastern United States, buried seeds of the non-native haplotype of Phragmites australis may be a source of propagules for re-establishment after eradication efforts but factors controlling the development and expression of seed banks in non-native Phragmites stands have not been examined. We sampled surface soil at four Chesapeake Bay brackish tidal wetlands dominated by the non-native (European) haplotype M of Phragmites and used the seedling emergence method to...
