Summary

The sensitivity of tidal marshes to environmental changes that result from sea-level rise or drought conditions is uncertain. We used a controlled greenhouse experiment and factorial flooding x salinity treatments to explore the differential responses of three tidal marsh plant species. Each species exhibited unique responses, with negative responses to increased salinity and longer flooding, but only limited evidence for interactive effects. These data support the following publication: Buffington, K.J., Goodman, A.C., Freeman, C.M. and Thorne, K.M., 2020. Testing the interactive effects of flooding and salinity on tidal marsh plant productivity. Aquatic Botany, p.103231.

Purpose

These data represent the response variables of the flooding and salinity treatments and can be used to assess the relative response of the three species to the treatments
