Direct denitrification in mangrove sediments in Terminos Lagoon, Mexico Direct denitrification in mangrove sediments in Terminos Lagoon, Mexico
Rates of direct denitrification were measured using 15N isotope tchniques in intact sediment cores from fringe and basin mangroves in Terminos Lagoon, Mexico. Sediments were injected with 15NO3- and the distribution of 15N was measured over time in the head space, overlying water, and sediments. Experiments included an investigation of spatial variation in denitrification rates by...

The influence of Hurricane Andrew on sediment distribution in Louisiana coastal marshes The influence of Hurricane Andrew on sediment distribution in Louisiana coastal marshes
The areal extent and temporal patterns of sediment deposition in delta marshes and shallow water bodies of Louisiana associated with the passage of Hurricane Andrew were determined from sediment traps, marker horizons, and benchmarks deployed for other studies. Data were collected over different time scales from 11 sites representing salt, brackish, and intermediate marshes, shallow...

Modeling mangrove canopy reflectance using a light interaction model and an optimization technique Modeling mangrove canopy reflectance using a light interaction model and an optimization technique
At 20 sites, incorporating mixtures of black, red, and white mangroves, canopy reflectance spectra were derived from high resolution spectral data taken from a helicopter platform. Canopy characteristics were predicted from the canopy reflectance spectra by using measured and estimated data as inputs into a light-canopy interaction model within a optimization routine. Pertinent to...

Disturbance and recovery of the Louisiana coastal marsh landscape from the impacts of Hurricane Andrew Disturbance and recovery of the Louisiana coastal marsh landscape from the impacts of Hurricane Andrew
The impact of Hurricane Andrew on the Louisiana coastal landscape and the initial recovery of wetland plant communities was determined from extensive surveys of a large geographic region of coastal marsh near Atchafalaya Bay and intensive studies of an oligohaline marsh on Otter Bayou. Wind and water movements associated with the hurricane resulted in the formation of compressed marsh...

Structural impact of hurricane Andrew on the forested wetlands of the Atchaflaya Basin in South Louisiana Structural impact of hurricane Andrew on the forested wetlands of the Atchaflaya Basin in South Louisiana
On August 26, 1992, Hurricane Andrew hit the Louisiana coast and traversed a large portion of the lower Atchafalaya Basin, bounding the largest remaining tract of cypress-tupelo and bottomland hardwood swamp in the United States. Permanent field sites were established following the hurricane to assess the extent of forest damage and to monitor the rate and process of forest recovery...
