Predicting the persistence of coastal wetlands to global change stressors Predicting the persistence of coastal wetlands to global change stressors
Despite progress toward understanding the response of coastal wetlands to increases in relative sea-level rise and an improved understanding of the effect of elevated CO2 on plant species allocation patterns, we are limited in our ability to predict the response of coastal wetlands to the effects associated with global change. Static simulations of the response of coastal wetlands to sea...

The Interface Between Theory and Data in Structural Equation Models The Interface Between Theory and Data in Structural Equation Models
Structural equation modeling (SEM) holds the promise of providing natural scientists the capacity to evaluate complex multivariate hypotheses about ecological systems. Building on its predecessors, path analysis and factor analysis, SEM allows for the incorporation of both observed and unobserved (latent) variables into theoretically based probabilistic models. In this paper we discuss...

Effects of prescribed fire in the coastal prairies of Texas Effects of prescribed fire in the coastal prairies of Texas
Prescribed fire is widely applied for habitat management in coastal ecosystems. Fire management plans typically list a variety of objectives for prescribed burning, including succession management, promotion of native flora and fauna, providing habitat for species of importance, wildfire risk reduction (fuels management), as well as reduction and/or prevention of invasive species. In...

Fine-scale spatial variation in plant species richness and its relationship to environmental conditions in coastal marshlands Fine-scale spatial variation in plant species richness and its relationship to environmental conditions in coastal marshlands
Previous studies have shown that variations in environmental conditions play a major role in explaining variations in plant species richness at community and landscape scales. In this study, we considered the degree to which fine-scale spatial variations in richness could be related to fine-scale variations in abiotic and biotic factors. To examine spatial variation in richness, grids of...
