<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/i><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The common cordgrass, known as Spartina anglica, is a perennial grass species that occurs preferentially in salt marshes and intertidal areas. It first emerged on the British south coast at the end of the 19th century and evolved from other silt-grass species. It develops dense, horsty growth forms and can grow up to 1 metre high. The narrow, sharp-edged, rigid leaves are grey-green and often take on an erect shape, making the plant resistant to wind and the harsh conditions of coastal zones. Spartina anglica has a strongly developed salt tolerance, which gives it the ability to thrive in saline soils along the mudflats, where it can form species-poor dominant stands. The inflorescences are inconspicuous and appear in dense spikes that develop during the summer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Restricting the usability of waterside areas<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThe sharp leaves of Spartina anglica can easily cause cuts to walkers and swimmers. Recreational activities in the intertidal zone, such as bathing, hiking and fishing, are therefore negatively affected by salt mud grass. In addition, the spread of Spartina anglica in some areas threatens the economic interests of commercial oyster fisheries.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>Damage to health<\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/i><\/i><\/span>Infection with Claviceps purpurea<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>\nThe population of Spartina anglica on the German North Sea coast is largely infected with the highly toxic ergot fungus Claviceps purpurea.
