Soil organic carbon development and turnover in natural and disturbed salt marsh environments
Salt marsh survival with sea‐level rise (SLR) increasingly relies on soil organic carbon
(SOC) accumulation and preservation. Using a novel combination of geochemical …

Peat decomposition and erosion contribute to pond deepening in a temperate salt marsh
Salt marsh ponds expand and deepen over time, potentially reducing ecosystem carbon
storage and resilience. The water filled volumes of ponds represent missing carbon due to …

Seaweed loads cause stronger bacterial community shifts in coastal lagoon sediments than nutrient loads
The input of nutrients from anthropogenic sources is the leading cause of coastal
eutrophication and is usually coupled with algal/seaweed blooms. Effects may be magnified …

Feedbacks between nutrient enrichment and geomorphology alter bottom-up control on food webs
Classic bottom-up theory predicts that increased resource availability (for example,
nutrients) at the base of the food web will stimulate primary production and, in turn …

The fiddler crab Minuca pugnax (Decapoda: Brachyura: Ocypodidae) reduces saltmarsh algae in its expanded range
It is well known that species across the world are expanding or shifting their ranges because
of climate change. Yet, we know little about their impact on the habitats they colonize. In an …

Shallow ponds are heterogeneous habitats within a temperate salt marsh ecosystem
Integrating spatial heterogeneity into assessments of salt marsh biogeochemistry is
becoming increasingly important because disturbances that reduce plant productivity and …

Uptake of dissolved organic and inorganic nitrogen in microalgae-dominated sediment: comparing dark and light in situ and ex situ additions of 15N
Microbial communities within bare intertidal sediment have an active role in uptake of
inorganic and organic nitrogen as it is transported through estuaries. 15 N-labeled dissolved …
