The Biogeochemical Consequences of Saltwater Intrusion to Freshwater Wetland Sediment
Saltwater intrusion driven by water extraction, coastal modifications, and climate change may alter the biogeochemical cycling of freshwater coastal wetlands. Anaerobic respiration in freshwater wetlands is typically dominated by methanogenesis, leading to a high methane (CH 4 ) flux, but the availability of sulfate (SO4 2— ) in seawater may shift the dominant pathway to SO4 2— reduction, decre...
متن کاملSpatio-temporal stochastic resonance induces patterns in wetland vegetation dynamics
Water availability is a major environmental driver affecting riparian and wetland vegetation. The interaction between water table fluctuations and vegetation in a stochastic environment contributes to the complexity of the dynamics of these ecosystems. We investigate the possible emergence of spatial patterns induced by spatio-temporal stochastic resonance in a simple model of groundwater-depen...
متن کاملEvaluation of methods for establishing vegetation in created wetland mitigation sites in eastern Nebraska
EVALUATION OF METHODS FOR ESTABLISHING VEGETATION IN CREATED WETLAND MITIGATION SITES IN EASTERN NEBRASKA Andrew A. Miller, MS University of Nebraska, 2008 Advisor: Dr. Tom Bragg Seventeen wetland mitigation sites in eastern Nebraska were evaluated, by vegetative zone, to assess the relative success of active and passive wetland vegetation establishment techniques. For sites with available reco...
متن کاملHuman population growth as proximate cause of wetland dynamics
The study examined the influence of population as proximate cause of wetland dynamics in the lower Ogun river basin of southwestern, Nigeria. Both primary and secondary data were used for the study. The primary data included 100 questionnaires administered and distributed among the fadama users group representing 10% of the estimated population of the group. Satellite images of years 1972, 1984...
متن کاملFreshwater Wetland Resources and Biology
The term “wetlands” means those areas that are inundated or saturated by surface water or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions. They are located at the ecotones between dry terrestrial ecosystems and permanently wet aquatic ecosystems. As such, they have an intermediate hydrology, a bioch...
