The relationship between species richness and community biomass: The importance of environmental variables The relationship between species richness and community biomass: The importance of environmental variables
Several studies have used plant community biomass to predict species richness with varying success. In this study we examined the relationship between species richness and biomass for 36 marsh communities from two different watersheds. In addition, we measured several environmental variables and estimated the potential richness (the total number of species known to be able to occur in a...

The interactive effects of herbivory and fire on an oligohaline marsh, Little Lake, Louisiana, USA The interactive effects of herbivory and fire on an oligohaline marsh, Little Lake, Louisiana, USA
Herbivory and fire have been shown to affect the structure and composition of marsh communities. Because fire may alter plant species composition and cover, and these alterations may have an effect on herbivore populations or foraging patterns, an interactive effect of herbivory and fire may be expected. In this study, the effects of fire and vertebrate herbivory in a Louisiana...

The applicability of terrestrial visitor impact management strategies to the protection of coral reefs The applicability of terrestrial visitor impact management strategies to the protection of coral reefs
A dramatic expansion in nature-based tourism to tropical coastal destinations has occurred in the past 20 years. Tourism development, combined with intense recreational pressures, has irreversibly transformed and degraded many popular scenic natural environments. This paper examines the management of recreational impacts to coral reefs using Virgin Islands National Park as a case study...

Seagrasses, dredging and light in Laguna Madre, Texas, U.S.A. Seagrasses, dredging and light in Laguna Madre, Texas, U.S.A.
Light reduction resulting from maintenance dredging was the suspected cause of large-scale loss of seagrass cover in deep parts of Laguna Madre between surveys conducted in 1965 and 1974. Additional changes to 1988, together with an analysis of dredging frequency and intensity for different parts of the laguna, were consistent with this interpretation. Intensive monitoring of the...
