Abstract
The germination and establishment of Suaeda salsa are different with the varying flow velocitied and seed burial depths. This study focused on the seeds and seedlings of Suaeda salsa in the Liaohe Estuary, through outdoor simulation experiments and indoor analysis, the germination rate and seedling growth traits at different burial depths under different flow velocity conditions were determined. The main findings were as follows: Within the burial depth of 0-2cm, and the flow velocity range of 0.059-0.073 m/s was suitable for germination and establishment, at 2-3 cm depth, the suitable flow velocity range was 0.059-0.069 m/s, at 3-4 cm depth, it remained 0.059-0.069 m/s, and at 4-5 cm depth, the suitable flow velocity range extended to 0.059-0.076 m/s. These results provide theoretical support for the conservation and restoration of Suaeda salsa in the Liaohe Estuary and the sustainable development of wetlands, holding significant scientific and practical value
