Important to conserve plant species in coastal wetlands throughout their life cycle. All life stages in these habitats are exposed to varying tidal cycles. It is necessary to investigate all life stages as to how they respond to varying tidal regimes. We examine three wetlands containing populations of an endangered halophyte species, each subjected to different tidal regimes: (1). wetlands completely closed to tidal cycles; (2). wetlands directly exposed to tidal cycles (3). wetlands exposed to a partially closed tidal regime. Our results showed that the most threatened stage varied between wetlands subjected to these varying tidal regimes. We hypothesis that populations of this species have adapted to these different tidal regimes. Such information is useful in developing management options for coastal wetlands and modifying future barriers restricting tidal flushing.
重要的是要保护沿海湿地中的植物物种在其整个生命周期中。这些栖息地的所有生命阶段都暴露在不同的潮汐周期中。有必要调查所有的生命阶段，了解它们如何应对不同的潮汐状况。我们检查了三个含有濒危盐生植物种群的湿地，每个湿地都受到不同的潮汐状况的影响：（1）完全与潮汐周期隔绝的湿地；（2）直接暴露于潮汐周期的湿地；（3）部分受到潮汐周期影响的湿地。我们的研究结果表明，在这些不同的潮汐条件下，最受威胁的阶段在不同的湿地之间有所不同。我们假设，该物种的种群已经适应了这些不同的潮汐条件。这种信息对于制定沿海湿地的管理方案和修改未来限制潮汐冲洗的障碍是有用的。
