Multifunctional experimental assessment in a newly established Mediterranean restored marsh : marsh elevation, carbon accumulation and pollutant concentration reduction
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The Delta of the Ebro River (Catalonia, Spain) is among the most important marsh areas in the Western Mediterranean Sea, highly valuable both economically and ecologically. Fluvial sediment reduction by dams in a relative ...
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 ...
A study of composition, abundance, and fatty acid profiles of zooplankton in Albemarle Sound and Chowan River, North Carolina during spring and early summer
(East Carolina University, 2014)
In the Albemarle Sound and Chowan River, North Carolina, river herring (alewife and blueback herring) once comprised a commercially important fishery; however, this fishery has since collapsed and a moratorium on river ...
A Synthesis of Red Drum Feeding Ecology and Diets from North Carolina and South Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
The trophic interactions of the red drum Sciaenops ocellatus have been previously researched. However diet data on the largest adults (>750mm TL) are very limited. As fisheries management moves towards a goal of multi-species ...
Maternal input of Striped Bass (Morone saxatilis) : Determining a mother's life history from its progeny in coastal North Carolina
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Otolith studies have become more prevalent in recent years as use has expanded from ageing to examination of migration patterns and fidelity to natal habitats, and more recently examining otoliths for possible maternal ...
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 ...
Movements of North Carolina Striped Bass, Morone saxatilis, Inferred through Otolith Microchemistry
(East Carolina University, 2014)
Striped Bass, Morone saxatilis, is an anadromous, recreationally and commercially important fish species found throughout the U.S. Atlantic east coast, whose migrations have been intensely studied. A review of the relevant ...
