| Located on a cordgrass marsh, the house rests on random pilings that blend in with the pine grove. |
|
| Periwinkle snails ordinarily live in ecological harmony with salt marshes, eating only dead cordgrass and a fungus that grows on the plants. |
|
| Marsh vegetation consists mainly of cattail and sedges, with salt marsh cordgrass occurring along creek banks. |
|
| Along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of North America, both species feed exclusively on the phloem sap of cordgrass, Spartina alterniflora. |
|
| Once there, the gastropods use their belt of serrated teeth, called radula, to slice the living cordgrass. |
|
| The river channel meanders through wide tidal freshwater marshes of cattail and sedges, with stands of saltmarsh cordgrass along the upper banks. |
|
| For example, cattails, bulrushes, cordgrass, sphagnum moss, bald cypress, willows, mangroves, sedges, rushes, arrowheads, and water plantains usually occur in wetlands. |
|
| Prairie cordgrass dominated some areas of wet prairie, especially in the northern parts of the site, whereas bluejoint and muhly grass dominated others. |
|
| In the Rio Grande valley, Texas seaside sparrows were found nesting in black mangroves, saltmeadow cordgrass, and saltwort. |
|
| Efforts are now being made to remove these cordgrass species, as the damages are slowly being recognised. |
|
| The intertidal zone is also a good place to find plant life in the sea, where mangroves or cordgrass or beach grass might grow. |
|
| Rising water is remapping the marshes, too, creating open water as areas gradually become too deep for cordgrass, saltgrass and other salt-tolerant vegetation. |
|
| A shift in structure from bare tidal flat to pastureland resulted from increased sedimentation and the cordgrass extended out into other estuaries around New Zealand. |
