Hydrologic, Edaphic, and Vegetative Responses to Microtopographic Reestablishment in a Restored Wetland
Microtopography is a characteristic feature of many natural wetlands that is commonly lacking in restored wetlands (RWs). Consequently, it has been suggested that microtopography must be reestablished in RWs to accelerate the development of wetland function. The objective of this research was to examine responses of hydrology, soils, and vegetation to microtopographic reestablishment at a 3-yea...
متن کاملResponse of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi to Hydrologic Gradients in the Rhizosphere of Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin ex. Steudel Growing in the Sun Island Wetland
Within the rhizosphere, AM fungi are a sensitive variable to changes of botanic and environmental conditions, and they may interact with the biomass of plant and other microbes. During the vegetative period of the Phragmites australis growing in the Sun Island Wetland (SIW), the variations of AM fungi colonization were studied. Root samples of three hydrologic gradients generally showed AM fung...
متن کاملPhosphorus export from a restored wetland ecosystem in response to natural and experimental hydrologic fluctuations
[1] Wetland restoration is a commonly used approach to reduce nutrient loading to freshwater and coastal ecosystems, with many wetland restoration efforts occurring in former agricultural fields. Restored wetlands are expected to be effective at retaining or removing both nitrogen and phosphorus (P), yet restoring wetland hydrology to former agricultural fields can lead to the release of legacy...
متن کاملTesting a Passive Revegetation Approach for Restoring Coastal Plain Depression Wetlands
Restoration of coastal plain depressions, a biologically significant and threatened wetland type of the southeastern United States, has received little systematic research. Within the context of an experimental project designed to evaluate several restoration approaches, we tested whether successful revegetation can be achieved by passive methods (recruitment from seed banks or seed dispersal) ...
متن کاملInteraction and spatial distribution of wetland nitrogen processes
A spatially-explicit, two-dimensional model was developed to evaluate the processes which determine the fate and transport of nitrogen (N) in wetland systems. The wetland soil profile was partitioned into floodwater, and aerobic, and anaerobic soil layers, with diffusion and settling accounting for the transport of N between layers. Nitrogen transformations considered in the model were; enzyme ...
