When we arrived in the marsh, tussocks of cordgrass and black need-lerush poked up here and there from the glassy water.

The austral cordgrass Spartina densiflora Brong: its taxonomy, biogeography, and natural history.

As one of nature's rare natural monocultures, these maritime "prairies" of cordgrass (Spartina spp.) grow as high as two metres in the summer.

Herbage yield, protein content, and carbohydrate reserves in gulf cordgrass (Spartina spartinae).

pilosa in a saltmarsh cordgrass [Spartina alterniflora Loisel (Poales: Poaceae)] dominated salt marsh on Sapelo Island, Georgia.

Common grasses were seacoast bluestem Schizachyrium scoparium, gulf cordgrass Spartina spartinae, sandbur Cenchrus incertus and purple threeawn Aristida purpurea (Gould 1978).

Morphology and biomass production of prairie cordgrass on marginal lands.

Palaemonetes pugio is the most studied caridean of the Western Atlantic where it is commonly found in SAV, smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora Loisel, soft substrates, logs and among mangrove roots (Posey & Hines 1991, Everett & Ruiz 1993, Cross & Stiven 1999).

Casler is also helping to establish plots in the north-central states for studying switchgrass, big bluegrass, indiangrass, and prairie cordgrass. "In some places, big bluegrass has higher yields than switchgrass," Casler says.

The low marsh areas were seeded with smooth cordgrass, which acts as a natural anchor for marsh sediment and can tolerate salt and low tides.

Rising water is remapping the marshes, too, creating open water as areas gradually become too deep for cordgrass, saltgrass and other salt-tolerant vegetation.
