Global Climate Change
Scientists study how increases in temperature, sea level, and atmospheric carbon dioxide affect wetland plants.
Research
- Coastal Forest Dieback and Carbon Relations in Tidal Freshwater Swamps (Dr. Thomas W. Doyle, Dr. Ken W. Krauss)
- Impact of Department of Interior Activities on Carbon Sequestration and
Greenhouse Gas Emissions of Natural and Restored Wetlands in the Prairie
Pothole Region and the Lower Mississippi River Valley (Drs. Stephen
Faulkner and Ned Euliss)
- Interactive Effects of Climate Change and Fire on Bird Communities: Landscape
and Regional Projections (Dr. Wylie C. Barrow).
- Monitoring and Modeling Global Change Effects on Submerged Aquatic Vegetation
of Intermediate Salinities Along the Gulf of Mexico Coast (Dr.
Jacoby Carter).
- Potential Effects of Elevated Carbon Dioxide on the Structure and Function
of Coastal Marshes (Dr. Karen L. McKee).
