Abstract
Describes zonation patterns of shrubs in western Atlantic salt marshes. Borrichia frutescens dominated the terrestrial border of many salt marshes in Georgia. Physical stress increased was elevation decreased. Borrichia frutescens shrubs at lower elevations were stunted. As physical stress increased, Spartina alterniflora became the dominant species.Suggested Citation
