Mass tree mortality leads to mangrove peat collapse at Bay Islands, Honduras after Hurricane Mitch Mass tree mortality leads to mangrove peat collapse at Bay Islands, Honduras after Hurricane Mitch
We measured sediment elevation and accretion dynamics in mangrove forests on the islands of Guanaja and Roatan, Honduras, impacted by Hurricane Mitch in 1998 to determine if collapse of underlying peat was occurring as a result of mass tree mortality. Little is known about the balance between production and decomposition of soil organic matter in the maintenance of sediment elevation of...

Predicting future mangrove forest migration in the Everglades under rising sea level Predicting future mangrove forest migration in the Everglades under rising sea level
Mangroves are highly productive ecosystems that provide valued habitat for fish and shorebirds. Mangrove forests are universally composed of relatively few tree species and a single overstory strata. Three species of true mangroves are common to intertidal zones of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico Coast, namely, black mangrove (Avicennia germinans), white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa)...

Effects of hydrology on red mangrove recruits Effects of hydrology on red mangrove recruits
Coastal wetlands along the Gulf of Mexico have been experiencing significant shifts in hydrology and salinity levels over the past century as a result of changes in sea level and freshwater drainage patterns. Local land management in coastal zones has also impacted the hydrologic regimes of salt marshes and mangrove areas. Parks and refuges in south Florida that contain mangrove forests...

Managing agricultural wetlands for waterbirds in the coastal regions of Louisiana, U.S.A. Managing agricultural wetlands for waterbirds in the coastal regions of Louisiana, U.S.A.
Rice and/or crawfish are cultivated in over 225,000 ha of shallow earthen impoundments within 160 km of the Gulf of Mexico along the coast of Louisiana. The region includes both the Gulf Coastal Plain and Prairie and the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Annual loss of 4,475 ha of coastal wetlands in Louisiana due to subsidence, erosion, and rising sea level has significantly reduced...

Water depth tolerances of dominant tree island species: What do we know? Water depth tolerances of dominant tree island species: What do we know?
Common woody species growing on tree islands in the Water Conservation Areas of South Florida include redbay, sweetbay, coastal-plain willow, wax myrtle, dahoon holly, cocoplum, pond-apple, red maple, cypress, gumbo-limbo, strangler fig and buttonbush. Very little is known about the flooding tolerance of most of these species. In this paper, we review flooding impact studies, describe...
