The San Francisco Bay-Delta system includes a watershed that covers a large area of
California and provides water to two-thirds of the State's population. Climate over the estuary …

Plant-macrofossil analysis is being increasingly used in Quaternary science, particularly
palaeoecology and vegetation history. Although the techniques of macrofossil analysis are …

Sedimentary remains of aquatic plants, both vegetative (turions, leaves, spines) and
reproductive (fruits, seeds, pollen), may provide a record of temporal changes in the …

Aquatic Dicotyledons of North America: Ecology, Life History, and Systematics brings
together a wealth of information on the natural history, ecology, and systematics of North …

good indicators of the vegetation communities growing within and adjacent to the margin of …

The San Francisco Bay and delta system comprises the largest estuary along the Pacific
Coast of the Americas and the largest remaining area for tidal-marsh vertebrates, yet tidal …

Tidal-marsh vertebrates experience two distinct challenges to successful reproduction:
inundation of the soil with water, which is variable and often unpredictable, and the simple …

Records of stable carbon isotopes (δ13C) are presented from cores collected from four San
Francisco Bay marshes and used as a proxy for changes in estuary salinity. The δ13C value …
