The effects of landscape position on plant species density: Evidence of past environmental effects in a coastal wetland The effects of landscape position on plant species density: Evidence of past environmental effects in a coastal wetland
Here we propose that an important cause of variation in species density may be prior environmental conditions that continue to influence current patterns. In this paper we investigated the degree to which species density varies with location within the landscape, independent of contemporaneous environmental conditions. The area studied was a coastal marsh landscape subject to periodic...

Hydrogeomorphic factors and ecosystem responses in coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes Hydrogeomorphic factors and ecosystem responses in coastal wetlands of the Great Lakes
Gauging the impact of manipulative activities, such as rehabilitation or management, on wetlands requires having a notion of the unmanipulated condition as a reference. And understanding of the reference condition requires knowledge of dominant factors influencing ecosystem processes and biological communities. In this paper, we focus on natural physical factors (conditions and processes...

Vulnerability of coastal wetlands in the Southeastern United States: climate change research results, 1992-97 Vulnerability of coastal wetlands in the Southeastern United States: climate change research results, 1992-97
As part of the USGCRP research framework on coastal lands and ecosystems, the Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey (National Wetlands Research Center) entered into partnership with Rice University, Louisiana State University, Duke University, Clemson University, University of Southwestern Louisiana, University of Georgia, and the Virginia Institute of Marine...

Understory plant species composition in remnant stands along an urban-to-rural land-use gradient Understory plant species composition in remnant stands along an urban-to-rural land-use gradient
We examined the understory species composition of 24 remnant forest stands along an urban-to-rural gradient in the metropolitan Milwaukee, Wisconsin region to determine the relationships between plant community composition, human disturbance, and contrasting types of land use along a gradient of urbanization. A significant difference was found in shrub species community composition among...
