Suaeda salsa community is a vegetation type in saline-alkali areas. Weed invasion and colonization in S. salsa communities lead to fragmentationsof S. salsa communities. The colonization of invaded weeds in S. salsa communities is related to community succession of saline-alkali zones. The fragmented S. salsa community may be restored if the mechanism of invaded weed colonization in S. salsa co...
The response of the water table of an intertidal salt marsh in NW England has been investigated. During neap tides, water seeps upward from the underlying sand-silt-clay interface. This effect continues as the marsh is overtopped during spring tides but is then dwarfed by penetration of water downward from the surface. Under “typical conditions” the delay between high water in the river and max...
Many species are shifting their ranges in response to the changing climate. In cases where such shifts lead to the colonization of a new ecosystem, it is critical to establish how the shifting species itself is impacted by novel environmental and biological interactions. Anthropogenic habitats that are analogous to the historic habitat of a shifting species may play a crucial role in the abilit...
There is an ongoing eutrophication process in the Ria de Aveiro coastal lagoon (Portugal), with progressive replacement of rooted primary producers for macroalgae. Taking advantage of a well-defined environmental contamination gradient, we studied mercury accumulation and distribution in the aboveground and the belowground biomass of several salt marsh plants, including the seagrass species Zos...
Nutrient enrichment shifts mangrove height distribution: Implications for coastal woody encroachment
Global changes, such as increased temperatures and elevated CO2, are driving shifts in plant species distribution and dominance, like woody plant encroachment into grasslands. Local factors within these ecotones can influence the rate of regime shifts. Woody encroachment is occurring worldwide, though there has been limited research within coastal systems, where mangrove (woody shrub/tree) stan...

Journal of Coastal Research, SI #11, 125-158. Fort Lauderdale (Florida). ISSN 0749 0208. We developed an integrated chemical-faunal approach to paleo-environmental analysis of salt marsh sequences.

Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of protection depends on width marsh. The cross-shore marsh is a large extent determined by delicate balance between seaward expansion and landward retreat. influence daily occurring mild weather conditions sediment availability variability salt has not been systematically assessed. This paper investigates how homogeneous hydr...
Salt marshes provide many key ecosystem services that have tremendous ecological and economic value. One critical service is the removal of fixed nitrogen from coastal waters, which limits the negative effects of eutrophication resulting from increased nutrient supply. Nutrient enrichment of salt marsh sediments results in higher rates of nitrogen cycling and, commonly, a concurrent increase in...
Darwin's northern suburbs border an extensive coastal reed and upper mangrove wetland recognized as an important larval habitat for Aedes vigilax (Skuse), the northern salt marsh mosquito, an established vector for Ross River and Barmah Forest viruses and an appreciable pest species. We sought to identify the most important vegetation categories associated with Ae. vigilax breeding to maximize ...
The Deepwater Horizon spill (2010) was the largest marine oil spill in US waters to date and one of the largest worldwide. To examine effects of the oil spill on an important salt marsh species over time, we conducted a meta-analysis on marsh periwinkles Littoraria irrorata using published and unpublished sources spanning more than 5 yr (2010−2015), including newly available Natural Resources D...
