Organic matter distribution and turnover along a gradient from forest to tidal creek. MS thesis, Biology Department, East Carolina University, Greenville, N.C. pp. Keywords=organic matter, rising sea level, sediment accretion, marsh trangression End_keywords Abstract=Many coastal ecosystems migrate landward under the influence of rising sea level. Typical zonation of plant communities along coastal shorelines consists of tidal marshes, a transition zone, and adjacent upland or wetland forest. This study examined organic matter distribution along this gradient. I hypothesized that total above and belowground organic carbon mass would follow the pattern: forest \> transition \> high marsh = mid marsh \> low marsh \> tidal creek. This study was conducted at the upper Phillips Creek study area on the eastern shore of Virginia. A zonation map of the study area was created, and low marsh was divided into two zones based on two growth forms of Spartina alterniflora. Sample sites were selected using a stratified random sampling approach. A nested plot design was used to harvest vegetation, obtain soil cores, and collect quantitative data on trees, shrubs and large wood detritus. Unharvested tree and shrub masses were estimated using regression equations. Loss on ignition was determined for vegetation and soils. Organic carbon mass was estimated to be 50% of organic matter. Total above and belowground organic carbon mass (mean (kg/m2) + S.E.) for each zone was: forest 24.3 + 2.1, high marsh 14.2 + 0.7, transition 12.8 + 0.6, LMSS 12.6 + 0.8, LMTS 11.3 + 0.7, and tidal creek 8.7 + 0.3. The greatest loss of carbon occurred in the transformation of forest to high marsh. Organic carbon turnover rates for Phillips Creek were estimated for steep and gentle slopes by projecting an 80-year period of sea level rise at 5 mm/year. After 80 years, marsh and transition zones experienced 100% turnover in both profiles. The forest experienced turnover rates of 25% and 71% in steep and gentle profiles, respectively. Horizontal turnover rates of carbon associated with state change were approximately one order of magnitude lower than those associated with net primary production. However, horizontal turnover of ecosystem states can change coastal landscapes within the time span of a century.

Effects of sea level induced disturbances on high salt marsh metabolism. Estuaries :. Abstract=The rate of sea level rise is predicted to increase as a result of global warming. Sea level rise will be accompanied by increased frequency and duration of disturbances to tidal wetlands associated with higher sea level. Coastal salt marshes, which provide a transition between the aquatic and terrestrial environments around much of the temperate world, will be the first ecosystem to feel the effects of an increased rate of sea level rise. This study examined the metabolic responses of a high salt marsh to increased inundation and wrack deposition associated with sea level rise. We measured changes in ecosystem and soil photosynthesis and respiration by analyzing carbon dioxide fluxes in the light and dark. Data from seasonal flux measurements were combined with continuously measured light and temperature data to develop a model that estimated annual production and respiration. Results suggested that increased inundation will reduce respiration rates to a greater extent than production, yielding a moderate net loss of organic carbon from the high marsh. The model also predicted a substantial loss of organic carbon from wrack-affected areas. This decreased organic carbon input may play an important role in the ability of the marsh to maintain elevation relative to sea level rise.

As sea level rises there will also be an increase in frequency and duration of disturbances associated with higher sea level. Salt marshes, which provide a transition between the aquatic and terrestrial environments around much of the temperate world, will be the first to feel the effects of an increased rate of sea-level rise. This study examines the metabolic response of a high salt marsh to the disturbances of increased inundation and wrack deposition that are associated with sea-level rise. We measured changes in community and sediment photosynthesis and respiration by analyzing carbon dioxide fluxes in the light and dark. Data from the seasonal flux measurements were combined with continuously measured light and temperature data to develop a model that estimated annual production and respiration. Results suggest that increased inundation will reduce both production and respiration and yield a moderate net loss of organic carbon to the high marsh. The model also predicts a substantial loss of organic carbon to wrack affected areas. The consequence of decreased organic carbon input to the marsh is a reduced ability to accrete material, which is necessary in order to maintain elevation relative to sea level.

Carbon cycling in a tidal freshwater marsh ecosystem: a carbon gas flux study. Marine Ecology Progress Series 199:13-30. Keywords=Peltandra virginica, macrophyte and microalgal productivity, carbon dioxide, methane, belowground respiration, translocation End_keywords Abstract=A process-based carbon gas flux model was developed to calculate total macrophyte and microalgal production, and community and belowground respiration for a Peltandra virginica dominated tidal freshwater marsh in Virginia. The model was based on measured field fluxes of CO2 and CH4, scaled to monthly and annual rates using empirically derived photosynthesis vs. irradiance and respiration vs. temperature relationships. Because the gas exchange technique measures whole system gas fluxes and therefore includes turnover and seasonal translocation, estimates of total macrophyte production will be more accurate than those calculated from biomass harvests. One limitation of the gas flux method is that gaseous carbon fluxes out of the sediment may underestimate true belowground respiration if sediment-produced gases are transported through plant tissues to the atmosphere. Therefore we measured gross nitrogen mineralization (converted to carbon units using sediment C/N ratios and estimates of bacterial growth efficiency) as a proxy for belowground carbon respiration. We estimated a total net macrophyte production of 536-715 g C m-2 yr-1, with an additional 59 g C m-2 yr-1 fixed by sediment microalgae. Belowground respiration calculated from nitrogen mineralization was estimated to range from 516-723 g C m-2 yr-1 versus 75 g C m-2 yr-1 measured directly with sediment chambers. Methane flux (72 g C m-2 yr-1) accounted for 11-13% of total belowground respiration. Gas flux results were combined with biomass harvest and literature data to create a conceptual mass balance model of macrophyte-influenced carbon cycling. Spring and autumn translocation and re-translocation are critical in controlling observed seasonal patterns of above and belowground biomass accumulation. Annually, a total of 270-477 g C m-2 of macrophyte tissue is available for deposition on the marsh surface as detritus or export from the marsh as particulate or dissolved carbon.

Development of a Process-based Nitrogen Mass Balance Model for a Virginia Spartina alterniflora Salt Marsh: Implications for Net DIN Flux. Marine Ecology Progress Series 159:13-27. Keywords:Salt marsh, mineralization, immobilization, nitrogen cycling, nitrification/denitrification, DIN Flux:: Abstract: Primary production is nitrogen limited in most salt marshes with the possible exception of those impacted by high anthropogenic inputs of nitrogen. It is hypothesized that mature salt marshes which receive only small inputs of "new" nitrogen from the atmosphere, surface water runoff, groundwater, tidal creek, and nitrogen-fixation will have a conservative nitrogen cycle. We have developed a process-based N mass balance model for a short form Spartina alterniflora marsh in Virginia. Data for the model included rates of gross mineralization, nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, above- and below-ground macrophyte production, and benthic microalgal production. The annual balance between sources (mineralization, nitrogen fixation, tidal creek flux, atmospheric deposition, and sediment input) and sinks (above- and below-ground macrophyte uptake, sediment microalgal uptake, sediment burial, microbial immobilization, denitrification, and nitrification) of dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) was determined for both interior S. alterniflora -vegetated sites and unvegetated creek bank sites. Sediment/water exchanges of DIN species, predicted by results of the mass balance analysis, were compared to measured exchanges. Annually sources and sinks of DIN in the vegetated marsh were in close balance. The vegetated marsh imported DIN from the adjacent creek during most of the year\; the unvegetated creek bank exported NH4+ to overlying tidal water during July and imported NH4+ during other seasons. The net flux of DIN was 5.7 gN m-2 y-1 from overlying water into the marsh\; however, this flux was small relative to rates of internal N-cycling processes. The sediment NH4+ pool turned over rapidly as a result of the high rate of gross mineralization (84 gN m-2 y-1). Other microbial N-cycling rates were low (0.6 - 4 gN m-2 y-1). The NH4+ supplied by mineralization was more than sufficient to support both macrophyte (33 gN m-2 y-1) and benthic microalgal (5 gN m-2 y-1) uptake. We propose that in order to maintain steady state in the system approximately half of the DIN mineralized is immobilized into a readily remineralizable particulate organic N pool. Since mineralization and macrophyte uptake are temporally out of phase the labile organic N pool may serve to temporarily sequester NH4+ until it is required for plant uptake. :: Notes: submitted by ianderson, Tue Jul 21 23:27:29 EDT 1998 :: Bailey, N., Kochel, R.C., and Carlson, C.R., . 1998.

Ph.D Dissertation, University of Virginia, Charlottesville VA pp. 134. Keywords:sedimentation, flow, suspended sediment, deposition, low marsh:: Abstract:The physical processes that control mineral sediment deposition on a mesotidal salt marsh surface on the Atlantic Coast of Virginia have been characterized through a series of measurements of sediment concentration, flow velocity, water surface elevation and local rates of deposition on the marsh surface. Flow and sediment transport have been characterized both temporally and spatially as a function of distance from the bordering tidal creek. Measurements were made at tidal conditions ranging from tides barely flooding the marsh surface to spring tides and storm surges. Flow velocities on the marsh surface are extremely low (\< 1cm/s) during all tidal conditions measured. Flow direction on the marsh surface is perpendicular to the flow in the main tidal channel, flowing onto the marsh surface on the rising tide and off the marsh surface on the falling tide. The marsh surface vegetation, {\it Spartina alterniflora}, has a significant dampening effect on the turbulence of the flow, promoting deposition of suspended particles. Shear stresses within the {\it Spartina alterniflora} canopy are insufficient to mobilize sediment from the marsh surface. Sediment concentrations at the marsh edge are higher on the rising tide than on the falling tide, and combined with a flow directed from the tidal creek towards the marsh interior or during a tidal cycle, this pattern indicates sediment deposition on the rising tide. Sediment concentrations at the edge of the marsh increase with increased tidal amplitude, whereas in the marsh interior sediment concentration remained low regardless of tidal amplitude. The concentration gradient between creek bank and marsh interior indicates that more sediment is deposited on the creek bank as tidal amplitude increases. Correlation of high sediment transport events with meteorological conditions indicate that all high transport events are associated with strong northeasterly winds. Based on these measurements, it is estimated that 27% of sediment deposited on the marsh surface is contributed by storms\; the rest is deposited during normal high spring tides. :: Notes: submitted by pwiberg, Wed Jul 8 11:46:35 EDT 1998 :: Christiansen, T., P.L.

Ecosystem feedbacks on climate at the landscape scale. Philosophical Transactiions, Series B Keywords:Hydrocarbons, dewpoint, ice nuclei, climate, Feedbacks:: Abstract:Vegetation controls aspects climate at all scales. These controls operate through fluxes of mass (water vapor, particulates, trace gases, condensation nuclei, and ice nuclei) and energy (latent and sensible heat, radiative exchanges, and momentum dissipation) between the biosphere and the atmosphere. The role these fluxes play in controlling minimum and maximum temperature, temperature range, rainfall, and precipitation processes are detailed. On the hemispheric scale, the importance of evapotranspiration, vegetation surface roughness, and vegetation albedo in the current generation of atmospheric General Circulation Models (GCMs) is reviewed. Finally, at the planetary scale, the global climate effects of biogenic emissions that are well mixed throughout the troposphere are assessed. It is shown that daily maximum and minimum temperatures are, in part, controlled by the emission of non methane hydrocarbons and transpired water vapor. In many regions, a substantial fraction of the rainfall arises from upstream evapotranspiration rather than from oceanic evaporation. Biosphere evapotranspiration, surface roughness, and albedo are key controls in the general circulation of the atmosphere\; climate models without adequate specifications of these biosphere attributes fail. The biosphere modulates climate at all scales. :: Notes: submitted by bhayden, Fri May 30 15:14:14 EDT 1997 :: Hayden, B.P. 1999. Extratroical Storms: Past, Present and Future. Pages 93-97 in D.B.

Konza Synthesis Volume. Keywords:airmasses, climate change, fronts, fauna and flora:: Abstract:The climate of the North American grasslands varies at continental, regional and local spatial scales and at millenial, century and contemporary temporal scales. Contemporary climate and climate change are delineated using the synoptic climatology of continental airmasses (1950-1962), cyclones (1885-1993), and anticyclones (1899-1990), regional patterns cold and warm fronts (1940-1970), and Kansas thunderstorms (1970-1985). The North American Prairie Peninsula is examined relative to a genetic classification of North American Climates. Correspondence between these classified natural cliamtic complexes and the geographic patterns of assemblages of flora and fauna illustrate the connections between climate and prairie ecosystems. :: Notes: submitted by bhayden, Fri May 30 15:27:56 EDT 1997 :: Hayden, B.P., R.D.

A prototype to provide climatic summaries dynamically has been developed and serves as one model for improving access to data across sites. Individual sites maintain local climate data in local information systems while a centralized site continually updates and provides access to all sites' data through a common database. Common distribution report formats have been established to meet specific needs of climate data users.

Objectives of the workshop were to: effect technology transfer, especially at biological field stations and marine laboratories\; facilitate people networking\; communicate training needs and opportunities\; identify future needs for data management at field stations\; and produce hard copy and digital versions of the proceedings. Workshop instructors provided comprehensive overviews of the technological infrastructure for a data management system (e.g., hardware, software, communications, and networking), data entry, quality assurance, database management systems, metadata, archival, the World Wide Web, and scientific visualization. Additional roundtable discussions focused specifically on software for field stations, challenges and opportunities at field stations, and site-specific data management implementation.:: Notes: submitted by jporter, Mon Jul 27 10:48:27 EDT 1998 :: Mills, A.L., L.K.

Abstract:The capabilities provided by the World Wide Web (WWW) offer an opportunity for ecological researchers to share information resources. The hypertext markup language (HTML) is used to create documents for display on the WWW. HTML documents can be created using various tools from general text editors to more specialized programs. General principles of WWW page design that can be applied to improve content and usability include anticipating user needs and avoiding features that unnecessarily increase needs for network bandwidth. Search and indexing tools for WWW pages can be used to improve access to information. WWW pages can also be used to solicit information from users via on-line forms. Making HTML documents available on the WWW is accomplished by placing them on a server, which may be locally administered or available commercially. :: Notes: submitted by jporter, Mon Jul 27 10:52:43 EDT 1998 :: Porter, J.H. 1998.

Data and information management in the ecological sciences: a resource guide. LTER Network Office, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM. Abstract:The questions that scientists can answer are dependent upon the databases available to them. Modern genome research would not be possible without genome databases. Similarly, synthetic and integrative environmental research will be dependent on the quantity and quality of available databases. Examples of scientific databases include large "deep" databases such as Genbank and PDB, "wide" databases such as the National Geophysical Data Center and NASA Distributed Active Archive Centers (DAACs), and project-oriented databases such as those at Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites. There are advantages and disadvantages for using database management systems that balance the capabilities gained against the costs of maintenance. The World Wide Web is a recommended interface for scientific databases. Such databases may be constructed on both UNIX and Windows NT workstations. :: Notes: submitted by jporter, Mon Jul 27 10:51:27 EDT 1998 :: Porter, J.H. and J.L. Dooley, Jr. 1993.

Global networks for environmental information: Proceedings of Eco-Informa \'96. 1996 November 4-7\; Buena Vista, FL. Ann Arbor, MI, Environmental Research Institute of Michigan (ERIM). Keywords:information management, database, statistical packages, software:: Abstract:The Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) Program is set of 18 ecological research sites and a Network Office funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. From the inception of the program in 1980, the LTER program has included a strong emphasis on data and information management as a crucial component of long-term research. Each LTER site operates its own data and information management system and the LTERnet Network Support System facilitates network-wide electronic communication, data and information exchange between sites. At each LTER site there is a broad range of data collected using both high and low technology techniques. The diversity of LTER sites (varying from arctic tundra to tropical rain forest), research questions and data collected (varying in size from \<1 KB to \>300 MB) demands a philosophy and structure which promotes flexibility and development of innovative solutions. Although some software tools and approaches are site-specific, a subset of tools, ideas and solutions evolve and propagate across sites depending upon their robustness, generality and cost. This presentation will focus on software tools which have become widely used within the LTER network. These include network information servers, geographical information systems, database and statistical packages and the myriad of smaller tools which link them together to work as an integrated whole. We will also discuss tools and approaches that we expect to become emergent standards in the future. \ :: Notes: submitted by jporter, Fri Mar 21 11:10:58 EST 1997 :: Quinley, H.J. 1995.

Keywords=nitrogen, marsh, groundwater, isotopes, salinity End_keywords Abstract=Fringing wetlands are critical components of estuarine systems, and subject to water fluxes from both watersheds and estuaries. To assess the effect of groundwater discharge on marsh nitrogen cycling, we measured N-cycling in sediments from a fringing mesohaline marsh in Virginia which receives a seasonal groundwater input. Mineralization, nitrification, potential denitrification (DNF), and potential dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) rates were estimated along with porewater concentrations of oxygen, sulfide, and conductivity during high (May 1997) and low (October 1997) groundwater discharge. All N-cycling processes were confined to the upper 1-1.5 meters of marsh where organic matter and ammonium were most abundant. Depth integrated rates for mineralization, nitrification, DNRA, and DNF ranged between 1.0 -11.2, 0.0 -2.2, 0.9 -6.1, and 1.8 -17.6 mmoles N m-2 hr-1, respectively. During Spring discharge (May), porewater conductivity, and dissolved sulfide decreased by approximately 50 %, and a groundwater driven O2 flux of 27 µmoles m-2 hr-1 into the marsh subsurface was estimated. Although mineralization, nitrification, and DNRA rates were up to 12x, 6x, and 7.5x greater in May, respectively, than during low discharge (October), DNF was 10x higher in October. The largest difference in seasonal rates was observed nearest the upland border where groundwater discharge had the greatest effect on sediment geochemistry. We suggest that a synergy between an increased flux of electron acceptors, porewater mixing, and flushing of salt and sulfide, was responsible for the elevated mineralization and nitrification rates in May. Natural abundance d15N measurements of the NH4+, NO3-, and N2 pools showed that nitrification is important in mediating N export by linking mineralization and denitrification in this marsh. However, despite accelerated mineralization and nitrification in May, there was not an equivalently large export of N via coupled nitrification-denitrification. The DNF : DNRA ratio in May (0.6) was 25-fold lower than that seen at low discharge, indicating that during Spring discharge, a greater proportion of nitrified N was recycled internally rather than exported via denitrification.

Quantifying groundwater discharge through fringing wetlands to estuaries: Seasonal variability, methods comparison, and implications for wetland-estuary exchange. Limnology and Oceanography 46:604-615. Abstract=Because groundwater discharge along coastal shorelines is often concentrated in zones inhabited by fringing wetlands, accurately estimating discharge is essential for understanding its effect on the function and maintenance of these ecosystems. Most previous estimates of groundwater discharge to coastal wetlands have been temporally limited and have used only a single approach to estimate discharge. Furthermore, groundwater input has not been considered as a major mechanism controlling pore-water flushing. We estimated seasonally varying groundwater discharge into a fringing estuarine wetland using three independent methods (Darcy's Law, salt balance, and Br 2 tracer). Seasonal patterns of discharge predicted by both Darcy's Law and the salt balance yielded similar seasonal patterns with discharge maxima and minima in spring and early fall, respectively. They differed, however, in the estimated magnitude of discharge by two- to fourfold in spring and by 10-fold in fall. Darcy estimates of mean discharge ranged between 28.0 and 80 L m 22 d 21 , whereas the salt balance predicted groundwater discharge of 0.6 to 22 L m 22 d 21 . Results from the Br 2 tracer experiment estimated discharge at 16 L m 22 d 21 , or nearly equal to the salt balance estimate at that time. Based upon the tracer test, pore-water conductivity profiles, and error estimates for the Darcy and salt balance approaches, we concluded that the salt balance provided a more certain estimate of groundwater discharge at high flow (spring). In contrast, the Darcy method provided a more reliable estimate during low flow (fall). Groundwater flushing of pore water in the spring exported solutes to the estuary at rates similar to tidally driven surface exchange seen in previous studies. Based on pore-water turnover times, the groundwater-driven flux of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), and NH to the estuary was 1 4 11.9, 1.6, and 1.3 g C or g N m 22 wetland for the 90 d encompassing peak spring discharge. Groundwater-induced flushing of the wetland subsurface therefore represents an important mechanism by which narrow fringing marshes may seasonally relieve salt stress and export material to adjacent water masses.
