Visser, J.M.; Duke-Sylvester, S.M.; Carter, J., and Broussard, W.P., III, 2013. A computer model to forecast wetland vegetation changes resulting from restoration protection in coastal Louisiana.The wetlands of Louisiana are a unique ecosystem that supports diversity wildlife as well diverse community commercial interests both local national importance. The state has established 5-year cycle scientific investigation provide up-to-date information guide future legislation regulation aimed at...
Abstract The use of unmanned aircraft systems ( UAS s), commonly referred to as drones, has rapidly expanded across many scientific disciplines. Like other fields, fisheries research would benefit significantly from broader this emerging technology but lagged behind the implementation satellite and aircraft‐based remote sensing in previous decades brought a greater understanding large‐scale spatial patterns processes, potential put those tools hands individual researchers, allowing at finer...
Groundwater is increasingly being overdrafted in the Gulf and Atlantic Coastal regions of United States. Geochemical data associated with groundwater these aquifers can provide important information on changes salinity, recharge, reaction pathways that be used to improve water management strategies. Here we evaluated long-term geochemical 23,000 km2 Chicot aquifer system Louisiana, USA. The currently by about 1,320,000 m3 per day. We compiled selected bulk from samples collected 20 wells...
Nutrient pollution in the form of excess nitrogen and phosphorus inputs is a well-known cause water-quality degradation that has affected water bodies across Nation throughout 20th century. The recognition nutrients as developed later than other problems, such waterborne illness, industrial pollution, organic wastes. Nevertheless, long-term analysis nutrient fundamental to our understanding current magnitude problem, well origins effects. This report describes century-scale changes quality...
Predicted changes in sea level and other environmental conditions may threaten the marginal occupancy of coastal wetlands. In a field survey conducted Weeks Bay, AL, we investigated intertidal wetland plant zonation along gradients. The results this have implications for resilience both locally across Northern Gulf Mexico as changing exceed community tolerances, resulting “coastal squeeze” phenomena. Within marsh transition there was heterogeneous micro-topography with large overlap...
