Racial Composition and Homeownership Influence the Distribution of Coastal Armoring in South Carolina, USA
The desire to stabilize coastlines has led to widespread use of hard armoring infrastructure across the globe; however, ecologists and coastal...

The Influence of River Plume Discharge and Winds on Sediment Transport into a Coastal Mangrove Environment
We investigate how the physical forcing factors of river discharge and winds affect sediment delivery to, and retention within, mangrove-lined...
-
Microtopographic Variation as a Potential Early Indicator of Ecosystem State Change and Vulnerability in Salt Marshes
As global climate change alters the magnitude and rates of environmental stressors, predicting the extent of ecosystem degradation driven by these...

Enhancing Assessments of Coastal Wetland Migration Potential with Sea-level Rise: Accounting for Uncertainty in Elevation Data, Tidal Data, and Future Water Levels
Sea-level rise rates are predicted to surpass rates of wetland vertical adjustment in the coming decades in many areas, increasing the potential for...

Invertebrate Responses to Large- and Small-Scale Drivers in Coastal Phragmites australis Beds in the Northern Baltic Sea
Phragmites australis is a common helophyte, covering much of the sheltered and shallow soft bottoms along the coasts of the Baltic Sea. Despite the...

Urbanization of a Subtropical Island (Okinawa, Japan) Alters Physicochemical Characteristics and Disrupts Microbial Community Dynamics in Nearshore Ecosystems
Subtropical and tropical islands are undergoing rapid urbanization as the human population expands globally. Urbanization disrupts coastal ecosystems...

An Earthen Sill as a Measure to Mitigate Salt Intrusion in Estuaries
At a global scale, deltas are vital economic hubs, in part due to the combination of their access to inland regions via river systems with their...

Integrated Assessment of Coastal Vulnerability in the Bonny Bay: A Combination of Traditional Methods (Simple and AHP) and Machine Learning Approach
The coast of Cameroon, located at the bottom of the Gulf of Guinea, is confronted with coastal hazards whose magnitude, distribution, and...

Evaluating Hydrogeomorphic Condition Across Ecosystem States in a Non-tidal, Brackish Peat Marsh of the Florida Coastal Everglades, USA
Emergent marsh and open water have been identified as alternate stable states in tidal marshes with large, relative differences in hydrogeomorphic...

Characterizing Spatial and Temporal Trends in Net Sediment Accumulation in Seagrass Meadows
Seagrass meadows are known as hot spots for carbon accumulation, but there is limited field data on the variability of sediment accumulation across...

Refining the Farm Aquaculture Resource Management Model for Shellfish Nitrogen Removal at the Local Scale
Nutrient-related environmental degradation in coastal waters is a continuing global problem. Bivalve shellfish farms show nutrient removal...

Environmental Influence on Feeding and Biodeposition Rates of Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) Throughout Its Culture Cycle in a Coastal Lagoon with Upwelling Influence
Suspended oysters employ physiological strategies to adjust their metabolic needs with the available food resources. Using the biodeposition method,...

Local Watershed Properties Cannot Explain Divergent Dynamics of Pacific Herring in an Urbanizing Estuary
Pacific herring ( Clupea pallasii ) is a foundational species in Puget Sound (Washington State, U.S.A.) and is subject to many anthropogenic threats....

Habitat-Dependent Variation in the Relative Abundance and Growth of the YOY of Five Species of Mugilids in the South-Western Mediterranean
This work is devoted to the study of the abundance, distribution and growth performance of five Mugilidae species in three types of coastal habitats...

Litter Decomposition in Retreating Coastal Forests
Rising sea levels lead to the migration of salt marshes into coastal forests, thereby shifting both ecosystem composition and function. In this...

Response of a Phytoplankton Community in a Subtropical Estuary to a Pulse Disturbance Driven by a Combo Hurricane and Extreme Rainfall Event
Major precipitation events from destructive hurricanes can change the hydrodynamics of estuaries. Indeed, water rather than wind was the major...
-
Spatial and Ontogenetic Trophic Dynamics of Co-occurring Predatory Fishes in a Northern Gulf of Mexico Estuary
Co-occurring predators often exhibit ecological niche partitioning, resulting from competition over evolutionary time. However, in productive...
