Abstract
ABSTRACT Gonzalez Trilla, G.; Borro, M.M.; Morandeira, N.S.; Schivo, F.; Kandus, P., and Marcovecchio, J., 2013. Allometric scaling of dry weight and leaf area for Spartina densiflora and Spartina alterniflora in two southwest Atlantic saltmarshes. Southwest Atlantic saltmarshes are characterized by the presence of Spartina alterniflora in the lower intertidal zones and Spartina densiflora in the middle to high tidal elevations. Because of its dominance and productivity and its central role in carbon and energy fluxes, Spartina spp. biomass and primary production have been extensively studied by different techniques. Since nondestructive techniques require relationships between tiller biomass and morphometric parameters, in this work we established allometric relations among biomass, leaf area, and size, in populations of S. densiflora and S. alterniflora from Mar Chiquita and Bahia Blanca, Argentina. We collected 743 standing tillers of S. densiflora and 663 of S. alterniflora from different dates, condi...
