Global climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico: Considerations for integrated coastal management Global climate change impacts on coastal ecosystems in the Gulf of Mexico: Considerations for integrated coastal management
Global climate change is important in considerations of integrated coastal management in the Gulf of Mexico. This is true for a number of reasons. Climate in the Gulf spans the range from tropical to the lower part of the temperate zone. Thus, as climate warms, the tropical temperate interface, which is currently mostly offshore in the Gulf of Mexico, will increasingly move over the...

Winter climate change and coastal wetland foundation species: Salt marshes vs. mangrove forests in the southeastern United States Winter climate change and coastal wetland foundation species: Salt marshes vs. mangrove forests in the southeastern United States
We live in an era of unprecedented ecological change in which ecologists and natural resource managers are increasingly challenged to anticipate and prepare for the ecological effects of future global change. In this study, we investigated the potential effect of winter climate change upon salt marsh and mangrove forest foundation species in the southeastern United States. Our research...

Development of sea level rise scenarios for climate change assessments of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam Development of sea level rise scenarios for climate change assessments of the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
Rising sea level poses critical ecological and economical consequences for the low-lying megadeltas of the world where dependent populations and agriculture are at risk. The Mekong Delta of Vietnam is one of many deltas that are especially vulnerable because much of the land surface is below mean sea level and because there is a lack of coastal barrier protection. Food security related...

Increase in black mangrove abundance in coastal Louisiana Increase in black mangrove abundance in coastal Louisiana
Black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), a subtropical species, has historically occurred in saline marsh habitat along the Louisiana coast, but their distribution has always been sparse and they seldom achieved heights of greater than 1 m. The distribution of black mangrove in Louisiana has been largely limited by freezing temperatures. Weather records show a decrease in freeze frequency...

Water level observations in mangrove swamps during two hurricanes in Florida Water level observations in mangrove swamps during two hurricanes in Florida
Little is known about the effectiveness of mangroves in suppressing water level heights during landfall of tropical storms and hurricanes. Recent hurricane strikes along the Gulf Coast of the United States have impacted wetland integrity in some areas and hastened the need to understand how and to what degree coastal forested wetlands confer protection by reducing the height of peak...
