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 ...
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 ...
NMR Studies into the Potential Interactions of Fullerene C[subscript]60, with Tetraphenylporphyrin, H[subscript]2[TPP] and Some of its Derivatives
(East Carolina University, 2011)
The curved [pi] surface of fullerene, C[subscript]60, shows a tendency to interact with other molecules, making it an interesting target for building supramolecular arrays. The interaction can be relative strong and may ...
