During sea level rise, salt marshes transgress inland invading low-lying forests, agricultural
fields, and suburban areas. This transgression is a complex process regulated by infrequent …

Groundwater represents a critical water source for plants, especially during drought, with
continuous groundwater availability widely associated with the presence of ecological …

Naturally formed forest patches known as tree islands are found within lower-statured
wetland matrices throughout the world, where they contrast sharply with the surrounding …

Coral reef islands are biodiversity hotspots with high conservation value, but we have a poor
understanding of how island vegetation, through transpiration, influences groundwater …

The Everglades is a low‐gradient floodplain predominantly on organic soil that undergoes
seasonally pulsing sheetflow through a network of deepwater sloughs separated by slightly …

Transpiration-driven ion accumulation in soil has been invoked as a biological and physical
feedback mechanism in wetlands that governs topographic differences by regulating soil …

Plant communities arranged along a gradient are a product of underlying physico-chemical
drivers that vary on both spatial and temporal scales. Spatial variation in the underlying …

Everglades tree islands are patches of woody vegetation ranging in size from 0.1 to 70 ha
embedded in a marsh matrix. Tree islands are an essential component of the tree island …

Tree islands have been hypothesized to induce calcite precipitation by concentrating ions in
the groundwater through evapotranspiration processes. This research investigates how …

Abstract The Florida Everglades freshwater landscape exhibits a distribution of islands
covered by woody vegetation and bordered by marshes and wet prairies. Known as “tree …
