متن کاملSea level rise and South Florida coastal forests
Coastal ecosystems lie at the forefront of sea level rise. We posit that before the onset of actual inundation, sea level rise will influence the species composition of coastal hardwood hammocks and buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus L.) forests of the Everglades National Park based on tolerance to drought and salinity. Precipitation is the major water source in coastal hammocks and is stored in th...
متن کاملMicrobial mediation of ‘reactive’ nitrogen transformations in a temperate lagoon
Coastal lagoons positioned along the land margin may play an important role in removing or transforming ‘reactive’ nitrogen during its transport from land to the ocean. Hog Island Bay is a shallow, coastal lagoon located on the ocean-side of the Delmarva Peninsula in Virginia (USA). External nitrogen inputs are derived primarily from agriculturally enriched groundwater, and these support, in pa...
متن کاملBenthic algae control sediment–water column fluxes of organic and inorganic nitrogen compounds in a temperate lagoon
Coastal lagoons are a common land-margin feature worldwide and function as an important filter for nutrients entering from the watershed. The shallow nature of lagoons leads to dominance by benthic autotrophs, which can regulate benthic–pelagic coupling. Here we demonstrate that both microalgae and macroalgae are important in controlling dissolved inorganic as well as organic nitrogen (DIN and ...
