Abstract
This study aimed to quantify and elucidate the spatial variability of plant height and abundance of tillers and reproductive structures of the salt marsh grasses Spartina alterniflora Loisel. and Spartina densiflora Brongn. within and between pioneer ( 50 years of colonization) in southern Brazil. Both pioneer populations had taller tillers (p<0.01) than mature populations. Pioneer populations of S. densiflora also showed massive investment on tiller density (10,084 m-2), more infl orescences (557 m-2) and higher fecundity (16,258 seeds m-2) than the mature population (131 infl orescence m-2; 2,199 seeds m-2). High redox and reduction of phosphorus availability in the sediment away from the water line seem to explain decreasing densities of tiller and infl orescences inside S. densiflora mature populations. Fourteen percent of pioneer S. alterniflora tillers flowered and, on average, produced only 0.4 seeds per infl orescence and 76 seeds m-2, whereas mature population did not fl ower.
期刊介绍:
The Iheringia, Série Botânica is a publication edited by the Museu de Ciências Naturais, Fundação Zoobotânica do Rio Grande do Sul, since 1958. The name Iheringia is actually a tribute to Hermann von Ihering (a German researcher who became a Brazilian citizen) and his important studies in the Natural Sciences.The journal has the mission of publishing articles, reviews and original scientific notes that cover diverse areas in Botany, and may be written in Portuguese, Spanish and English.
The journal is widely available in both international and national scientific community. The issues are published and distributed twice a year to 118 national institutions and 152 international institutions. The distribution is either free of charge or by exchange.
