mooth cordgrass (   Spartina   alterniflora    Loisel.), an aggressive non-native species worldwide, colonized tidal flats on the west coast of Korea in two regions differing in tidal amplitude between 1990–2004. By the time of our study in 2015, expansion had occurred both clonally and through formation of new patches, providing an opportunity to determine intertidal range, which is a key component of understanding the threat posed by    S.   alterniflora    through competition with native halophytes or transformation of unstructured mudflat. At Ganghwa (5.69 m tidal range),    S.   alterniflora    ranged from 3.52 to 1.34 m above Mean Sea Level ( MSL ). At Jindo (2.02 m tidal range),    S.   alterniflora    ranged from 1.57 to -0.18 m relative to  MSL . Thus, a wider absolute intertidal range was occupied by    S.   alterniflora    at the megatidal vs mesotidal region, but the lower limit of    S.   alterniflora    did not extend below  MSL  under megatidal conditions, a pattern that now appears to emerge consistently in both the native and introduced range. In both study regions,    S.   alterniflora    occurred at the same elevations as other salt marsh plants, occupying an upper zone with    Phragmites   australis    (non-native) and middle zone with several native species including    Suaeda   japonica   .    S.   alterniflora    occurred below native marsh vegetation at all sites, which would result in transformation of the extensive mudflats along the Korean coast.
