Brief Summary

provided by Ecomare
As long as the bottom is at least temporarily saturated with water and is saline to some degree, sea arrowgrass has no problem growing. That can mean high up as well as lower down in salt marshes and inland of the dike where there is seepage or remnants of salt still in the soil. Compared to its family member marsh arrowgrass, sea arrowgrass forms fuller clusters, is less delicate and its inconspicuous flowers are bunched close together along the stem. In addition, the foot of the stems and leaves grow slanted out of the ground. Sometimes, the plants in the middle of the cluster die so that the remaining plants seem to form a fairy ring, just like some mushrooms.

Brief Summary ( Dutch; Flemish )

provided by Ecomare
Schorrenzoutgras kan goed tegen zout. Het staat altijd op natte plekken, bijvoorbeeld op kwelders en soms op dijken. Op ingepolderde kwelders kan schorrenzoutgras nog tientallen jaren blijven groeien. Schorrenzoutgras is minder fijn dan moeraszoutgras. Het groeit vaak in pollen en in de aren staan de bloempjes dicht bij elkaar. Het lijkt wel wat op weegbree. Soms sterft de pol in het midden af. Dan vormt het schorrenzoutgras een soort heksenkring, net als sommige paddenstoelen.
