GENERAL INTEREST

Glenn, E. P., J. J. Brown and J. W. O'Leary. "Irrigating Crops with Seawater." Scientific American 279.2 (Aug. 1998): 76–81. Pickle weed and other salt-tolerant plants irrigated with seawater may one day be used to feed farm animals and humans.

McClintock, J. "The Sea of Life." Discover 23.3 (Mar. 2002): 46–53. The floating mass of Sargasso weed in the Sargasso Sea is truly an oasis in the middle of a desert, providing a home to many forms of life.

Rützler, K. and I. C. Feller. "Caribbean Mangrove Swamps." Scientific American 274.3(Mar. 1996): 94–99. Many forms of life, both from land and sea, live in association with mangroves.

Vroom, P. S. and C. M. Smith. "The Challenge of Siphonous Green Algae." American Scientist 89.6 (Nov.–Dec. 2001): 524–531. Siphonous green algae, one-cell giants, have a remarkable capacity to regenerate, and as a result, some become pests.
