Livestock as a potential biological control agent for an invasive wetland plant [PDF]
Invasive species threaten biodiversity and incur costs exceeding billions of US$. Eradication efforts, however, are nearly always unsuccessful. Throughout much of North America, land managers have used expensive, and ultimately ineffective, techniques to

Local habitat type and hedgerow cover strongly shape bee and wasp richness, but only weakly their reproductive output, outweighing the landscape diversity effects at the 1‐km2 scale. Forests host more wasp but fewer bee species, whereas orchards support high richness of both; bee reproduction patterns are driven by one dominant species, while wasp ...

Belowground growth is the primary driver of radial oxygen loss from Typha angustifolia to sediment
Oxygen pool accompanying the growth of a new Typha angustifolia rhizome through anoxic sediment. Summary Wetland plants must supply oxygen to their rhizomes and roots to maintain aerobic respiration despite soil anoxia. Excess oxygen can diffuse into the environment, strongly affecting rhizosphere biogeochemistry.

Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Abstract Introduction Novel ecosystems, where environmental conditions have been fundamentally altered from a historic norm, require nontraditional approaches to restoration. Suisun Marsh, located within California's San Francisco Estuary (SFE), is a novel, brackish water wetland complex, where managers have begun restoring tidal connectivity to ...

ABSTRACT Coastal lagoons are increasingly altered by hydrological modification and catchment‐derived nutrient loading, driving shifts in macrophyte dominance and creating complex management trade‐offs. In Chilika lagoon, India, the emergent macrophyte Phragmites karka has expanded, raising concerns about impacts on native macrophytes, habitat ...

Age specific rhizome dynamics of Phragmites australis and their effects on nutrient cycling. [PDF]
Characteristics of rhizome resource storage of common reed, Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. Ex Steudel, were investigated associated with the aboveground biomass in terms of rhizome age category.

ABSTRACT Sea level rise is causing the rapid conversion of upland habitats to salt marshes in low‐sloping areas due to increasing groundwater salinity and soil saturation. Despite this being a widespread phenomenon, questions remain about the factors shaping groundwater hydrology and salinity in these transitioning systems, particularly in the US ...
