    Nutrient Addition Differentially Affects Ecological Processes of Avicennia germinans in Nitrogen versus Phosphorus Limited Mangrove Ecosystems

    Nutrient over-enrichment is a major threat to marine environments, but system-specific attributes of coastal ecosystems may result in differences in their sensitivity and susceptibility to eutrophication. We u...

    Soil Respiration and Belowground Carbon Allocation in Mangrove Forests

    Mangrove forests cover large areas of tropical and subtropical coastlines. They provide a wide range of ecosystem services that includes carbon storage in above- and below ground biomass and in soils. Carbon d...

    Mangrove Forest and Soil Development on a Rapidly Accreting Shore in New Zealand

    Mangrove forests are rapidly expanding their distribution in New Zealand, which is at the southern limit of their range. We investigated how these expanding mangrove forests develop through time. We assessed p...

    The Role of Surface and Subsurface Processes in Kee** Pace with Sea Level Rise in Intertidal Wetlands of Moreton Bay, Queensland, Australia

    Increases in the elevation of the soil surfaces of mangroves and salt marshes are key to the maintenance of these habitats with accelerating sea level rise. Understanding the processes that give rise to increa...

    Latitudinal Patterns of Herbivory in Mangrove Forests: Consequences of Nutrient Over-Enrichment

    Ecosystems in the tropics are predicted to have stronger responses to nutrient enrichment, greater diversity, and more intense biotic interactions than in temperate areas. Mangrove forests, which occur across ...

    Natural and Regenerated Saltmarshes Exhibit Similar Soil and Belowground Organic Carbon Stocks, Root Production and Soil Respiration

    Saltmarshes provide many valuable ecosystem services including storage of a large amount of ‘blue carbon’ within their soils. To date, up to 50% of the world’s saltmarshes have been lost or severely degraded p...

    Losses of Soil Organic Carbon with Deforestation in Mangroves of Madagascar

    Global mangrove deforestation has resulted in substantial CO2 emissions to the atmosphere, but the extent of emissions from soil organic carbon (C) loss remains difficult to assess. Here, we sampled five intact a...

    Nitrogen Addition Increases Freeze Resistance in Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) Shrubs in a Temperate-Tropical Ecotone

    Low temperature stress is the primary factor determining the latitudinal limits of tropical plants. As the climate warms, tropical species are migrating poleward, displacing native species and modifying ecosys...
