In the Grass, On the Reef
The Many Personalities of Salt Marsh Cordgrass
Clip: Season 3 | 2m 3s
Dr. Randall Hughes is examining genetic diversity within the marsh
Dr. Randall Hughes is examining diversity within the marsh. In this video, she discusses the diversity of the foundation species of a marsh: smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora). Does having a greater diversity of genetically distinct plants (genotypes) make for a healthier marsh (and by extension, better fishing)? Learn more: http://wfsu.org/blog-coastal-health/?p=6857
