(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 ...
-
(2019-05-28)This study represents a detailed analysis of the biochemical composition of organic carbon (OC) preserved in coastal wetland systems. Coastal wetlands are sensitive to anthropogenic disturbances with habitats undergoing ...
-
(2009-05-15)Understanding the role of freshwater wetlands in the global carbon cycle has become more important as evidence of climate change grows. In this paper, we examine the burial and decomposition of particulate organic matter ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)During the last century wetlands have considerably decreased. The principal cause is urbanization, especially in large urban regions such as the Houston area. In order to protect the remaining wetlands, they have to be ...

(2012-04-23)This paper describes the research done to determine the hydraulic gradient and direction of groundwater flow in two aquifers at the Armand Bayou wetland. One aquifer is an unconfined aquifer at a depth of approximately 15 ...

(2012-10-19)Movement of growth faults, a type of normal fault which is formed during sedimentation and is characterized by having greater vertical thickness on the downthrown fault side, on barrier islands contributes to wetland losses. ...
-
(2011-02-22)Iron reduction is an important redox reaction in anaerobic environments for both biological and chemical cycling of elements such as carbon. However, the controls on the rate and extent of iron reduction are poorly understood ...
-
(2017-04-24)Mangroves are salt-tolerant trees that coexist with marsh grasses and forbs at subtropical latitudes. Occasional freeze events keep mangroves from completely overgrowing marsh plants. There have not been severe freeze ...
-
(2013-08-05)Pterocarpus officinalis dominated forests are a rare ecosystem, found only in fifteen locations in Puerto Rico, all of which are adjacent to the coast and at risk from sea level rise, as well as nutrient pollution, upstream ...

Responses of Coastal Wetland Vegetation to a Large-Scale Tidal Restoration on the Texas Upper Coast (2022-04-22)Coastal wetlands are often modified by climate- and human-driven events of various frequency, intensity, and duration. These alterations may result in substantial changes to ecosystem structure and function. For example, ...
