Wetland Compensation and Landscape Change in a Rapidly Urbanizing Context
While there are regulatory requirements that regulators should assess the impact of landscape-scale changes on the success of US Clean Water Act wetland compensatory mitigation sites, these requirements are po...

Longitudinal evaluation of vegetation richness and cover at wetland compensation sites: implications for regulatory monitoring under the Clean Water Act
There has been regulatory concern over the appropriate length of time to monitor wetland sites restored or created as compensation for impacts permitted by a U.S. Clean Water Act permit. However there is very ...

Natural and Anthropogenic Drivers of Wetland Change
The hydrology of wetlands is dynamic owing to daily, seasonal, and inter-annual changes in water levels caused by tides, river flooding, and/or precipitation events. The resulting water regimes are primary det...

Factors affecting post-control reinvasion by seed of an invasive species, Phragmites australis, in the central Platte River, Nebraska
Invasive plants, such as Phragmites australis, can profoundly affect channel environments of large rivers by stabilizing sediments and altering water flows. Invasive plant removal is considered necessary where re...

Carex Seedling Emergence in Restored and Natural Prairie Wetlands
Carex species, common dominants of wet meadows and widespread in ecosystems in the northern hemisphere, seldom naturally recolonize drained wetlands following hydrologic restoration. We conducted...

Article
Seed Rain of Restored and Natural Prairie Wetlands
In prairie wetland restorations, seeds may be limiting plant recolonization but this has never been quantified in the field. We evaluated the seed rain in restored and natural wetlands to determine if seed lim...

Tools for Carex revegetation in freshwater wetlands: understanding dormancy loss and germination temperature requirements
Carex is a globally distributed genus with more than 2000 species worldwide and Carex species are the characteristic vegetation of sedge meadow wetlands. In the mid-continental United States, Carex species are do...

Article
Light competition for invasive species control: A model of cover crop–weed competition and implications for Phalaris arundinacea control in sedge meadow wetlands
Since resource competition plays a critical role in many plant invasions, controlling invasive vegetation may require managing the supply of limiting resources. For example, lowering light availability with a ...

Article
Effect of NaCl andTypha angustifolia L. on marsh community establishment: A greenhouse study
Post-restoration wetland sites often do not resemble natural wetlands in diversity or richness of native species, in part due to the influence of stressors such as excess contaminant loads and invasive species...

Article
Establishment of Carex stricta Lam. seedlings in experimental wetlands with implications for restoration
The loss of Carex dominated meadows due to agricultural drainage in the previously glaciated midcontinent of North America has been extensive. The lack of natural Carex recruitment in wetland restorations and the...

Article
The influence of light availability on competition between Phalaris arundinacea and a native wetland sedge
Invasions by Phalaris arundinacea (reed canarygrass) preclude establishment of sedge meadow vegetation in restored wetlands in the midwest USA. To evaluate cover crops as a potential method of P. arundinacea cont...

Revegetation of prairie pothole wetlands in the mid-continental US: twelve years post-reflooding
In the mid-1980's, thousands of wetlands in the mid-continental Unites States were restored by interrupting drainage lines; revegetation of these systems, often cropped for decades and positioned in a predomin...

Article
Assessing ecosystem integrity of restored prairie wetlands from species production–diversity relationships
We assessed ecosystem integrity in restored prairie wetlands in eastern South Dakota, U.S.A., by examining the relationship between and diatom diversity and production. We asked three questions: (1) Is product...

Article
The Vegetation of Wet Meadows in Relation to Their Land-use
Wetland biomonitoring approaches are needed to determine when changes in response to stressors are occurring and to predict the consequences of proposed land-use changes. These approaches require an understand...

Article
Invasiveness in wetland plants in temperate North America
The spread of invasive taxa, includingLythrum salicaria, Typha × glauca, Myriophyllum spicatum, Phalaris arundinacea, andPhragmites australis, has dramatically changed the vegetation of many wetlands of North Ame...

Article
Diatom communities as ecological indicators of recovery in restored prairie wetlands
Diatoms were employed to assess the recovery of northern prairie wetlands restored after drainage. We predicted that diatom species diversity and equitability are lower in restored wetlands than in reference w...

Article
Evaluating perturbations and develo** restoration strategies for inland wetlands in the Great Lakes basin
Wetland coverage and type distributions vary systematically by ecoregion across the Great Lakes Basin. Land use and subsequent changes in wetland type distributions also vary among ecoregions. Incidence of wet...

Consequences of habitat loss and fragmentation for wetland amphibian assemblages
Landscape-level variables operating at multiple spatial scales likely influence wetland amphibian assemblages but have not been investigated in detail. We examined the significance of habitat loss and fragment...

Development of community metrics to evaluate recovery of Minnesota wetlands
Monitoring wetland recovery requires assessment tools that efficiently and reliably discern ecosystem changes in response to changes in land use. The biological indicator approach pioneered for rivers and stre...
