Chapter 2: Spartina Distribution and Spread<strong>Proceedings</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Third</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Conference</strong> on Invasive Spartinaful method to eradicate Spartina, but more experimentsare needed to verify its effectiveness (Chen et al. 2007).• Spartina alterniflora has lower genetic diversity buthigher genetic differentiation capacity whereas S. anglicahas higher genetic diversity and lower differentiationcapacity (An et al. this volume). These genetic differencesmay have contributed to <strong>the</strong> different invasiondynamics, and different fates, for <strong>the</strong> two species <strong>of</strong>Spartina.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSThis study was financially supported by CommonwealFoundation <strong>of</strong> Forestry Administration <strong>of</strong> China (No.200804005) and by KSJYXRC Foundation <strong>of</strong> China’sMinistry <strong>of</strong> Education (No. 0208002002).
