RESPONSE OF A SPARTINA PATENS-DOMINATED OLIGOHALINE MARSH TO NITROGEN ENRICHMENT IN COASTAL NORTH CAROLINA, USA.
(East Carolina University, 2013)Coastal marshes are highly productive ecosystems that play a significant role in the global carbon budget. Anthropogenic alterations to coastal landscapes can significantly impact these marsh ecosystems, though the actual ... -
Response of Baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) at Different Life Stages to Flooding and Salinity
(East Carolina University, 2014)Baldcypress are dominant trees in forested coastal wetlands. As sea levels rise, it is important to increase our understanding of how increased salinity and flooding will affect forested coastal wetlands. This study combined ... -
Responses in Baseflow Nitrogen Concentrations to Wastewater Management Approaches in the North Carolina Piedmont
(East Carolina University, 2023-01-04)Falls Lake is currently classified as impaired because of elevated chlorophyll-a and turbidity levels associated with excess nutrient inputs. Anthropogenic and natural inputs of nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), into ... -
RESPONSES OF COASTAL NESTING KING RAILS (RALLUS ELEGANS) TO ENVIRONMENTAL THREATS OF RISING WATER AND TEMPERATURE
(East Carolina University, 2015-12-09)King rail (Rallus elegans) populations are experiencing long-term declines attributable to habitat loss. Sparse breeding populations in coastal areas may represent the last strongholds for this species, but climate change ... -
Responses of dominant marsh macrophytes to inundation and disturbance and assessing marsh ecosystem services
(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 ... -
Responses of Leaf Litter Breakdown Rates and Microbial Enzyme Activity to Salinity in North Carolina Wetlands
(East Carolina University, 2014)Sea-level rise and human activities are causing the increase of salinity in coastal freshwater wetlands. Increased salinity in some wetlands has been found to accelerate leaf litter decomposition, an important driver of ... -
