Ecological Frontiers
Using new state-of-the-art integrated data and models, land-management scientists improve the quality and timeliness of current estimates of carbon sequestration, land change, fire, hydrology, and other ecosystem services to provide consistent, cross-disciplinary science products that can project the impact of resource management decisions that are of importance to land managers.

Soil Properties and Geochronology in Barataria Basin, Louisiana
Will wetland vertical accretion rates be enough to keep up with the predicted rates of sea level rise? USGS looks at soil properties and geochronology in Louisiana wetlands.
Long-Term Carbon Burial in Marshes of the Mississippi River Delta
Wetlands along the Gulf Coast play an important role in the global carbon cycle, but as they rapidly convert to open water, their potential for carbon storage is declining. USGS is working to provide accurate, long-term marsh soil carbon sequestration rates.
