Source 1: Using Meta-Analysis to Develop Evidence-Based Recovery Trajectories of Vegetation and Soils in Restored Wetlands in the Northern Gulf of Mexico
Studied recovery of coastal wetlands in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. Spartina species were the dominant species in most sites studied. The degree of recovery was determined using factors such as vegetation cover and belowground biomass.

Source 2: Changes in Ecosystem Nitrogen and Carbon Allocation with Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) Encroachment into Spartina alterniflora Salt Marsh
Studied encroachment of mangrove in coastal marshes formerly dominated by Spartina alterniflora and its effects on nutrient cycling in coastal marshes as well as how it may affect the ability of salt marshes to keep up with rising sea levels.

Source 3: Analysis of the contributions of human factors and natural factors affecting the vegetation pattern in coastal wetlands
Studied effects of soil moisture and salinity on the distribution of vegetation in coastal marshes as well as how human activities impact soil moisture and salinity. Spartina alterniflora and Suaeda glauca were the dominant species present in sites studied.

Source 4: Evaluating the Relationship Among Wetland Vertical Development, Elevation Capital, Sea-Level Rise, and Tidal Marsh Sustainability
Studied the elevation capital in tidal marshes with different rates of deterioration in New York. Spartina alterniflora was the dominant vegetation found in the marshes studied, although different forms of the species dominated the different sites. Examined the effects of tidal marsh vegetation on marsh elevation and sustainability.

Source 5: The pace of ecosystem development of constructed spartina alterniflora marshes
Compared the accumulation of carbon and nitrogen between constructed coastal marshes and natural marshes as well as differences in the growth of spartina species. Vegetation of research sites on the southeastern U.S. were mainly composed of Spartina alterniflora while Spartina foliosa dominated sites in Southern California.
