Abstract
Researches the leaf anatomy and structure of 10 Spartina species from different salt marsh zones and from freshwater habitats. The functional significance of the leaf structure was also studied. The authors conclude that differences in the structure and function of leaves in Spartina are related to adaptation to saline environments.Suggested Citation
