Long-term accretion rates can also be inferred by dating sediment cores with pollen (Chmura et al., 2001; Mudie & Byrne, 1980) and radiogenic isotopes (French et al., 1994; Kemp et al., 2012). These methods are shedding light on the response of marshes to sea level rise in the ...
Even in cases where substantial field sampling has allowed data to be gathered on both morphometrics and genetics (i.e. phenotype and genotype), opinions often differ regarding which category of data should be prioritised, particularly if the two sets of results are not wholly congruent. Even whe...
Of course comprehensive storm plans are included in this report, but we also cover owner/operator credentialing, vessel surveying, security and anti-theft measures, and life-safety equipment and training. Yacht claims The list of things that can result in an insurance claim for a yacht owner ...
In addition, the trampling effects created during clean-ups were monitored by surveying the percent plant coverage of two trails: one that was trampled during a single clean-up event and one that was trampled during multiple (3) clean-up events. After one growing season, the trail used only...
In addition to surveying bivalve communities, we characterized the availability of shell substrate within and in front of the salt marsh. To do this, we collected a 3-cm depth sediment sample at a subset of coordinates (n = 39) within one of our four study sites, Hellegat. Sediment sample...
Salt marshes provide important services to coastal ecosystems in the southeastern United States. In many locations, salt marsh habitats are threatened by coastal development and erosion, necessitating large-scale monitoring. Assessing vegetation height a
and traditional field surveys, yet it has not been thoroughly evaluated in a virtual capacity as an alternative to traditional field vegetation plot surveys. This study assessed the utility of UAS red-green-blue (RGB) and low-altitude imagery for virtually surveying vegetation plots in a web appl...
