The observations suggest that sea...

Growth responses of Spartina patens and Spartina alterniflora by means of a two dimensional factorial design Growth responses of Spartina patens and Spartina alterniflora by means of a two dimensional factorial design
Growth of Spartina patens and Spartina alterniflora was compared under identical greenhouse conditions. Mature plants were grown in quartz sand and watered with the following solutions: (1) full Hoagland's solution; (2) Hoagland's minus iron; (3) Hoagland's minus nitrogen; (4) Hoagland's with NaCl added to 28 o/oo; (5) sea water of 28 o/oo. S. patens showed improved growth in Hoagland's...
