A greenhouse experiment was conducted to examine the effects of water depth on the growth and reproduction of Scirpus maritimus L. Plants grown at or above the water surface had higher shoot survivorship, greater numbers of vegetative tillers, and higher underground biomass, while seed production was small. With increasing water depth plants had taller shoots and greater seed production but total biomass, numbers of vegetative tillers, and underground biomass were reduced. This shift from clonal growth to seed production with increasing water depth is interpreted as a strategy that permits survival of S. maritimus populations through the wet and dry climatic periods of the Canadian prairies.

AbstractThe dioecious seagrass species Halophila stipulacea reproduces mainly through fast clonal growth, underlying its invasive behavior. Here, we provide morphological evidence to show that the first findings of fruits in the Caribbean were misidentified. Consequently, H. stipulacea reproduction is likely still only asexual in the Caribbean. Therefore, we introduce an identification key of H. stipulacea reproductive structures to encourage careful identification and quantification throughout its invasive range. Until large-scale seed production in invaded habitats is reported, the apparent low rate of sexual reproduction needs to be considered in current studies investigating the invasion capacity of this species.
