Hybridization, polyploidy and invasion: lessons from Spartina (Poaceae) (2009, background): “anglica in anoxic sediments is facilitated by its particular ability to develop aerenchyma systems that supply the submerged plants with athmospheric oxygen and efficiently transport oxygen to the roots (Maricle and Lee 2002).”
Exudation of organic acids by a marsh plant and implications on trace metal availability in the rhizosphere of estuarine sediments (2005, background): “Sulphide oxidation by wetland plants has been reported previously (Lee et al., 1999; Maricle and Lee, 2002 ), for instance for Spartina alterniflora, which has a welldeveloped aerenchyma system that facilitates the transport of oxygen from the atmosphere to the roots.”
Effects of growing conditions on the growth of and interactions between salt marsh plants: implications for invasibility of habitats (2006, background): “…at 10 cm above the soil surface, attributable to the well-developed aerenchyma systems in the tissue of the two species, which can enhance metabolic efficiency and facilitate internal oxygen transport (Mendelssohn et al. 1981; Mendelssohn and Postek 1982; Gries et al. 1990; Maricle and Lee 2002).”
