Madrid, Eric N.; Armitage, Anna R.; Lopez-Portillo, Jorge (Frontiers Media, 2014-09-26)Over the last several decades, the distribution of the black mangrove Avicennia germinans in the Gulf of Mexico has expanded, in part because it can survive the occasional freeze events and high soil salinities characteristic ...

Norris, Allison Elaine (2014-09-26)Wetlands are important to the coastal environment because of the variety of purposes they serve to the area wildlife. The ecological and economic importance of wetlands makes it imperative to understand the benefits of ...

Armitage, Anna R.; Highfield, Wesley E.; Brody, Samuel D.; Louchouarn, Patrick (PLOS, 2015-05-06)Landscape-level shifts in plant species distribution and abundance can fundamentally change the ecology of an ecosystem. Such shifts are occurring within mangrove-marsh ecotones, where over the last few decades, relatively ...

Parnell, Allison (2012-07-16)Understanding how nutrient input into coastal wetlands influences aquatic vegetation and the fate of anthropogenic nutrient inputs can help improve water quality management plans. The goals of this study were to (1) compare ...
-
Carver, Sean Thomas (2015-04-29)With increasing demand for high quality irrigation water and coastal development, new plants need to be developed that thrive with the use of saline irrigation and provide an alternative to invasive exotic landscape plants. ...

Staszak, Lindsey Ann (2011-10-21)Wetlands are one of the most productive ecosystems in the world, housing diverse biota and serving important functions as nursery habitat and feeding grounds. However, nearly 70% of coastal wetlands, including 21% of the ...

Lee, Courtney T (2014-08-13)Plant genetic diversity can augment ecosystem functions in habitats with low plant species diversity. Salt marshes are typically species-depauperate, a condition that is exacerbated when marshes are restored with a single ...
