Coupled Wave Energy and Erosion Dynamics along a Salt Marsh Boundary, Hog Island Bay, Virginia, USA

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2015
The relationship between lateral erosion of salt marshes and wind waves is studied in Hog Island Bay, Virginia USA, with high-resolution field measurements and aerial photographs.

Hydrodynamic Feedbacks of Salt‐Marsh Loss in the Shallow Microtidal Back‐Barrier Lagoon of Venice (Italy)

open access: yesWater Resources Research, 2023
Extensive loss of salt marshes in back‐barrier tidal embayments is ongoing worldwide as a consequence of land‐use changes, wave‐driven lateral marsh erosion, and relative sea‐level rise compounded by mineral sediment starvation.

Monitoring and modeling nitrogen dynamics at the tidal scale in a salt marsh of the Venice Lagoon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
A long-term monitoring of nitrogen dynamics has been carried on in a salt marsh of the Venice Lagoon and a model was developed and calibrated with these results.

At the edge of change: Native Phragmites persistence and nonnative arrival along the dam‐regulated Colorado River

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The southwestern United States is at the forefront of nonnative Phragmites australis subsp. australis expansion. Native Phragmites australis subsp. americanus, likely in decline in North America, is ecologically and culturally important and of conservation interest. In the greater Grand Canyon region, the Glen Canyon Dam led to loss of

Tracking annual dynamics of carbon storage of salt marsh plants in the Yellow River Delta national nature reserve of china based on sentinel-2 imagery during 2017–2022

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Coastal salt marshes play a key role in coastal carbon sequestration. Understanding the spatial distribution and annual changes of carbon storage of salt marsh plants at a local scale is helpful for accurate protection and restoration.

Distribution of Big Tau Isoforms in the Human Central and Peripheral Nervous System

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Tau is widely studied in neurodegeneration, yet most work has focused on canonical brain tau isoforms. A longer isoform, “big tau,” produced by inclusion of exon 4a, is expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) regions.

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Plant Stress-Tolerance Traits Predict Salt Marsh Vegetation Patterning

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2019
It is increasingly acknowledged that stressors can resonate across the boundaries between ecosystems. Salt marshes, vast areas shaped by ocean-shore interactions, constitute prime examples of ecosystems where multiple stress factors arising from one ...

Braving the extremes: foraminifera document changes in climate-induced and anthropogenic stress in Wadden Sea salt marshes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Tidal wetlands are highly dynamic ecosystems that are susceptible to changes in sea level and flooding from storm surges. Among them, salt marshes play a key role in coastal protection as they contribute to wave attenuation through their regulating ...
