Aboveground and belowground productivity of Spartina alterniflora (smooth cordgrass) in natural and created Louisiana salt marshes

Original language description

In Louisiana, salt marshes are being created in an effort to offset the large loss of such habitat that has occurred over the last 50 yr. Primary productivity is an important function and indicator of success for salt marsh creation and restoration projects. The aim of this study was to determine whether the aboveground and belowground productivity of the dominant salt marsh grass Spartina alterniflora in created marshes in southwest Louisiana began to approximate productivity levels in natural marshesover time. Net annual aboveground primary productivity (NAPP) was measured by a harvest technique, while the ingrowth core method was used to estimate net annual belowground primary productivity (NBPP). NAPP levels were similar to those found in other Louisiana salt marshes, while NBPP levels were similar to or higher than the reported range for S. alterniflora studied along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico coasts. NAPP tended to decrease as the created marshes aged, but the levels in the
