Abstract
Constructs leaf energy budgets to examine the effects of drought and salinity on several Spartina species, including S. bakeri. Species were grouped into four major ecological functional types, based on elevational zonation ranges: low marsh species, middle marsh species, high marsh species, and freshwater species.Suggested Citation
