Portable platforms for setting rocket nets in open-water areas Portable platforms for setting rocket nets in open-water areas
Portable platforms for setting rocket nets in open-water habitats were developed and used to capture 1116 waterfowl of seven species during September and October 1991 and 1992 in southwestern Louisiana. Incidence of mortality (1% of captured birds) and escape (3% of captured birds) was low. Rocket-netting from platforms was a reliable and efficient technique for capturing waterfowl, and...

Seagrasses, dredging and light in Laguna Madre, Texas, U.S.A. Seagrasses, dredging and light in Laguna Madre, Texas, U.S.A.
Light reduction resulting from maintenance dredging was the suspected cause of large-scale loss of seagrass cover in deep parts of Laguna Madre between surveys conducted in 1965 and 1974. Additional changes to 1988, together with an analysis of dredging frequency and intensity for different parts of the laguna, were consistent with this interpretation. Intensive monitoring of the...

The relationship between species richness and community biomass: The importance of environmental variables The relationship between species richness and community biomass: The importance of environmental variables
Several studies have used plant community biomass to predict species richness with varying success. In this study we examined the relationship between species richness and biomass for 36 marsh communities from two different watersheds. In addition, we measured several environmental variables and estimated the potential richness (the total number of species known to be able to occur in a...

Intraspecific variation in the response of Taxodium distichum seedlings to salinity Intraspecific variation in the response of Taxodium distichum seedlings to salinity
Seedlings of 15 open-pollinated families of baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) were tested for their tolerance to combined salinty and flooding stress. Ten of the families were from coastal locations in Louisiana or Alabama, USA, that were slightly brackish. The other families were from locations not affected by saltwater intrusion. Five salinity levels were investigated--0,2,4,6, and 8 g...
