Effects of warming and altered precipitation on plant and nutrient dynamics of a New England salt marsh.
Salt marsh structure and function, and consequently ability to support a range of species and to provide ecosystem services, may be affected by climate change. To better understand how salt marshes will respond to warming and associated shifts in precipitation, we conducted a manipulative experiment in a tidal salt marsh in Massachusetts, USA. We exposed two plant communities (one dominated by ...
متن کاملContribution of Spartina maritima to the reduction of eutrophication in estuarine systems.
Salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, performing important ecosystem functions, particularly nutrient recycling. In this study, a comparison is made between Mondego and Tagus estuaries in relation to the role of Spartina maritima in nitrogen retention capacity and cycling. Two mono-specific S. maritima stands per estuary were studied during 1yr (biomass, nitrogen (...
متن کاملNutrient Dynamics and Decomposition rate of Norway Spruce Needles in Stråsan and Lajim stands
Climate changes due to changes in a habitat leads to differences in the rate of decomposition and nutrient dynamics of leaflitters, which has many effects on the controlling factors of the decomposition process. In the present study, the rate of decomposition and nutrient dynamics of Norway spruce was evaluated for 363 days in the two forestation sites in the natural and foreign habitats, ...

RANGE EXPANSION OF BLACK MANGROVES (AVICENNIA GERMINANS) TO THE MISSISSIPPI BARRIER ISLANDS.—The expansion of the black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) into Gulf of Mexico salt marshes is among the many climateinduced poleward range shifts of tropically associated marine plants and animals that have been documented in recent decades (Perry et al., 2005; Lasram and Mouillot, 2009; Fodrie et al., ...
متن کاملNutrient subsidies to belowground microbes impact aboveground food web interactions.
Historically, terrestrial food web theory has been compartmentalized into interactions among aboveground or belowground communities. In this study we took a more synthetic approach to understanding food web interactions by simultaneously examining four trophic levels and investigating how nutrient (nitrogen and carbon) and detrital subsidies impact the ability of the belowground microbial commu...
