Sedimentation in a Tupelo-Baldcypress Wetland 12 Years Following Harvest Distubance
Sediment accumulation and loss were measured in a water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica)- baldcypress (Taxodium distichum) forested wetlandin years 2, 7, 10 and 12 following harvesting disturbance. A 3 X 3 Latin Square design was replicated three times and compared to a psuedo-replicate reference stand …

Out of Site but Not Out of Mind: Submerged Prehistoric Landscapes on the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf
… rise following the last glacial maximum. Due to sediment accretion related to transgression, as well as active sedimentation in the marine environment, the formerly subaerial surface is now buried below the seafloor. This dissertation discusses the use of geophysical data in identifying …

Nature based solutions for coastal defense: Wave attenuation and economic analysis of marsh-fronted seawalls
… of wave breaking, which would be beneficial for sediment accretion to maintain a healthy marsh habitat and a less turbulent aquatic habitat. From the case study, narrow vegetation widths of 20 to 40 m can provide essential wave attenuation that would justify the marsh restoration in front of the …

Symbiotic Associations and Pathogenic Potential of Vibrios In the North Inlet Estuary
… interconnecting root systems and contribute to sediment accretion, functioning to shape intertidal zones. Large stands of these grasses are punctuated by mud flats and infaunal burrows of the fiddler crabs Uca pugnax (Bosc) and Uca pugilator (Smith); the feeding and burrowing actions of which, …

Forest Disturbances: Occurrences and Impacts of Recreational, Hydrogeomorphic, and Climatic Disturbances
… uses dendrochronological techniques to estimate sediment deposition and identify impacts hydrology and climate on radial growth in riparian forested wetlands, and quantifies influences of biotic and abiotic factors on the occurrence of frost-induced cambial damage. In southwestern Virginia, …

The recreation of estuarine ecosystem : a case study at Paull Holme Strays, Humber Estuary, UK.
… study indicates that an abiotic factor such as sediment accretion is occurring at a rapid rate in the northwest of the restoration site. Grain size and organic content have remained constant and are at levels comparable to those in a natural reference habitat. The study also indicates that there …

The Mangrove Mosaic: An Ecological Landscape Design Strategy for Everglades City's Climate Adaptation and Phased Transition Amidst Sea-level Rise
… Placement (TLP) method to capture and retain sediments. The thesis also examines adaptation pathways for residents by exploring how mangrove restoration, migration corridors, community-driven decision-making, and long-term resilience planning can collectively create a sustainable future for …
