Growth of Age-0 Atlantic menhaden (BREVOORTIA TYRANNUS) in Two Tidal Freshwater Tributaries of Chesapeake Bay
… (Brevoortia tyrannus). Growth rates from tidal freshwater habitats of the Mattaponi and James Rivers, Virginia in 2009 were described and compared using otolith microstructural analyses. Larval tidal freshwater growth rates were significantly faster in the culturally eutrophic James River …

Factors influencing the abundance, community composition and activity states of bacterioplankton from the tidal freshwater James River
… composition and variable activity states. In the tidal-freshwater James River, variation in bacterial abundance was linked to nutrient availability and autochthonous production with highest bacterial densities associated with low-nutrient, high-chlorophyll a conditions. Laboratory experiments …

Influences of Soil Amendments and Microtopography on Vegetation at a Created Tidal Freshwater Swamp in Southeastern Virginia
… of vegetation growing at a created tidal freshwater swamp in Virginia. None of the soil treatments met the traditional vegetation criteria for federal wetland jurisdictional determination, which only considers dominant species. When the same criteria were used for all of the species, …

Spatial and temporal distribution of larval fishes in a large tidal river.
… of larval fish assemblages from unregulated, tidal freshwater rivers. Patterns in the spatial and temporal distribution of larval fishes in the Mattaponi River were examined. Sampling took place on a weekly basis from February through August, 2006 and 2007. Larval fishes were categorized by …

DEPTH AND TIME RELATED VARIATIONS OF MICROBIAL COMMUNIITES IN AN EMERGENT FRESHWATER WETLAND
… water wetland. Research was conducted in a non-tidal freshwater wetland along the James River (Charles City County, Virginia) by establishing plots in two areas that experienced different hydrologic regimes and plant communities. Soil cores (30 cm) were collected monthly from January 2008 to …

Soil Genesis and Vegetation Response to Amendments and Microtopography in Two Virginia Coastal Plain Created Wetlands
… the long-term effects of treatments at a sandy tidal freshwater wetland created in 2003 (WWE) and a fine-textured, non-tidal wetland created in 2002 (CCW). We tested OM treatments, topsoil amendment, and microtopography effects on soil and vegetation properties at WWE and OM treatments at CCW. …

The effects of hydrology and vegetation on microbial community structure and soil function in the sediments of freshwater wetlands
… (Wet, Intermediate, and Dry) within a non-tidal freshwater wetland along the James River (Charles City County, Virginia). Inside each main plot, ten subplots were cleared of all aboveground plant material; five plots were left to re-grow (“Vegetated” reference), while the remaining five …

Tidal Wetland Inundation and Vegetation Phenology from Space: A Synthesis of Approaches for Characterizing Ecological Status and Inundation Dynamics in Tidal Wetlands with Remote Sensing Observations
… on the monitoring and characterization of tidal marshes using remote sensing-based approaches. Chapter 1 introduces the topics of wetland ecology and remote sensing. Chapters 2-4 are the main research chapters of the dissertation covering the topics of tidal marsh mapping, tidal marsh …
