We found a negative trend in ANPP with increasing salinity that varied from freshwater to lower polyhaline regimes (Figure 4 ); the finding is similar to those of previous studies that reported a decline in sawgrass ANPP with elevated salinity in coastal ecosystems, including the Everglades (Childers et al., 2006 ; Fuller & Wang, 2014 ; Lorenz, 2014 ; Troxler et al., 2014 ).
