Hydrogeomorphology and Horizontal Movement of Juncus roemerianus
Etheridge, Sherer Brooke (East Carolina University, 2015)Juncus roemerianus, black needlerush, is common in high marshes and occasionally in low marshes along the Mid-Atlantic and southern USA. Previous work found that J. roemerianus patches remained relatively stable in the ... -
Marsh macrophyte responses to inundation anticipate impacts of sea-level rise and indicate ongoing drowning of North Carolina marshes
Voss, Christine M.; Christian, Robert R. (Robert Raymond), 1947-; Morris, James T. (2013-01-01)In situ persistence of coastal marsh habitat as sea level rises depends on whether macrophytes induce compensatory accretion of the marsh surface. Experimental planters in two North Carolina marshes served to expose two ... -

(2012-10)In situ persistence of coastal marsh habitat as sea level rises depends on whether macrophytes induce compensatory accretion of the marsh surface.

Response and resilience of Spartina alterniflora to sudden dieback
Marsh, Amanda; Blum, Linda K.; Christian, Robert R. (Robert Raymond), 1947-; Ramsey, Elijah; Rangoonwala, Amina (2016-08)We measured an array of biophysical and spectral variables to evaluate the response and recovery of Spartina alterniflora to a sudden dieback event in spring and summer 2004 within a low marsh in coastal Virginia, USA. S. ... -
Responses of dominant marsh macrophytes to inundation and disturbance and assessing marsh ecosystem services
Voss, Christine M. (East Carolina University, 2009)Within two hydrodynamically different inundation regimes in North Carolina, the growth response and interactions of two dominant marsh macrophytes were evaluated over a range of inundation periods to understand better how ...
