Effects of salinity on growth and photosynthesis of three California tidal marsh species.

abstract：:Seed predation and seed dispersal can have strong effects on early life history stages of plants. These processes have often been studied as individual effects, but the degree to which their relative importance co-varies with seed predator abundance and how this influences seed germination rates is poorly understood. ...
