Biogeomorphically driven salt pan formation in Sarcocornia-dominated salt-marshes
(Elsevier Science, 2015-01)
Salt-marshes are under increasing threat, particularly from sea-level rise and increased wave action associated with climate change. The development and stability of these valuable habitats largely depend on complex ...
Influence of Grasshopper Herbivory on Nitrogen Cycling in Northern Gulf of Mexico Black Needlerush Salt Marshes
(Springer, 2018-05)
Herbivory is a common process in salt marshes. However, the direct impact of marsh herbivory on nutrient cycling in this ecosystem is poorly understood. Using a 15N enrichment mesocosm study, we quantified nitrogen (N) ...
Crab bioturbation and herbivory may account for variability in carbon sequestration and stocks in south west atlantic salt marshes
(Frontiers Research Foundation, 2016-02)
Coastal vegetation plays an important role for climate change mitigation. Compared with terrestrial ecosystems, coastal vegetation shows higher rates of atmospheric CO2 uptake and a more efficient retention of carbon (C) ...
Herbivory patterns along the intertidal gradient of Juncus roemerianus salt marshes
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Grasshopper herbivory can vary substantially among locations within a salt marsh or among marshes, but its variability along the marsh intertidal gradient (extending from the shoreline to the upland fringing forest) is not ...
Temperate Coastal Wetlands: Morphology, Sediment Processes, and Plant Communities
(Elsevier, 2018)
Temperate coastal wetlands include a large variety of environments, from tidal flats and salt marshes to nontidal wetlands at the landward edge, whose hydrology is still influenced by sea level. Salt marsh evolution and ...
Trace metal concentrations in Spartina densiflora and associated soil from a Patagonian salt marsh
(Elsevier, 2014-10-28)
The objectives of this study were to (i) assess in situ trace metal concentrations in soil and in Spartina densiflora in a Patagonian salt marsh (Rawson, Chubut, Argentina) and (ii) investigate the relationship between ...
Salinization of marshes in Argentina: Natural vs. anthropogenic factors
(Cuvillier Verlag, 2017)
In the littoral zone of Argentina, marsh environments under arid, semi-arid and humid conditions are numerous. In this work, salt marshes located in Río de la Plata Estuary, Bahía Blanca Estuary, San Antonio Bay and San ...
Biogeography of salt marsh plant zonation on the pacific coast of south america
(2018)
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the biogeography of plant zonation in salt marshes on the Pacific coast of South America; to examine whether salt marsh plant zonation varies with latitude; and to explore the ...
Can a Single Species Challenge Paradigms of Salt Marsh Functioning?
(Springer, 2015-07)
Over the history of ecology, well-established generalizations were refined or even changed after the appearance or consideration of new evidence. Here, we review results obtained in Southwestern Atlantic salt marshes ...
Environmental Harshness Decreases ant β-Diversity Between Salt Marsh and Neighboring Upland Environments
(Springer, 2016-08)
Understanding how wetland organisms interact with neighbor habitats along environmental gradients is important to recognize wetland integrity and its connectivity at landscape-level. We evaluated whether assemblage ...
