Microplastic abundance and characterization in the anaerobic co-digestion of food waste and dairy manure Open
Microplastics (MP) are an emerging contaminant in organic waste recycling, yet their occurrence and fate in anaerobic digestion (AD) systems remain poorly understood due to challenges in isolating MP from complex matrices. This study devel…

A bellwether for microplastic in wetland catchments in the Great Lakes region Open
This study is intended as a bellwether for the occurrence of microplastics (MPs) in Great Lakes wetlands. In 2020, sediment, surface water, and atmospheric deposition samples were collected from wetland catchments in or near five National …

Mapping Soil Organic Matter, Total Carbon, and Total Nitrogen in Salt Marshes Using UAS‐Based Hyperspectral Imaging Open
Wetland ecosystems are critical to global carbon and nitrogen cycles. This study leverages unmanned aerial system (UAS)‐based hyperspectral imaging to quantify soil organic matter (SOM), total carbon (C), and total nitrogen (N) in moderate…

Impact of Microplastic on Freshwater Sediment Biogeochemistry and Microbial Communities Is Polymer Specific Open
Plastic debris is a growing threat in freshwater ecosystems and transport models predict that many plastics will sink to the benthos. Among the most common plastics found in the Laurentian Great Lakes sediments are polyethylene terephthala…

Polystyrene Degradation by Exiguobacterium sp. RIT 594: Preliminary Evidence for a Pathway Containing an Atypical Oxygenase Open
The widespread use of plastics has led to their increasing presence in the environment and subsequent pollution. Some microorganisms degrade plastics in natural ecosystems and the associated metabolic pathways can be studied to understand …

Effects of Grazer Exclusion on Carbon Cycling in Created Freshwater Wetlands Open
Wetland ecosystems play a significant role in the global carbon cycle, and yet are increasingly threatened by human development and climate change. The continued loss of intact freshwater wetlands heightens the need for effective wetland c…

Assessing Salt Marsh Vulnerability Using High-Resolution Hyperspectral Imagery Open
Change in the coastal zone is accelerating with external forcing by sea-level rise, nutrient loading, drought, and over-harvest, leading to significant stress on the foundation plant species of coastal salt marshes. The rapid evolution of …

Divergent impact of grazing on plant communities of created wetlands with varying hydrology and antecedent land use Open
Destruction of natural wetlands has warranted the creation of wetlands to mitigate the reduction of valuable ecosystem functions and services. However, the complex interactions between key drivers of wetland community structure – hydrology…

Retrieval of Sediment Filling Factor in a Salt Panne from Multi-View Hyperspectral Imagery Open
This work describes a study using multi-view hyperspectral imagery to retrieve sediment filling factor through inversion of a modified version of the Hapke radiative transfer model. We collected multi-view hyperspectral imagery from a hype…

Retrieval of Salt Marsh Above-Ground Biomass from High-Spatial Resolution Hyperspectral Imagery Using PROSAIL Open
Salt marsh vegetation density varies considerably on short spatial scales, complicating attempts to evaluate plant characteristics using airborne remote sensing approaches. In this study, we used a mast-mounted hyperspectral imaging system…

Effects of prior land use, carbon availability and hydrology on nitrogen cycling in created freshwater wetlands Open
Freshwater wetlands are a critical feature of the landscape, providing important ecosystem services such as nutrient removal. However, created wetlands often fail to meet functional performance criteria, frequently due to shortcomings in m…

Bioturbating invertebrates enhance decomposition and nitrogen cycling in urban stormwater ponds Open
Stormwater retention ponds manage runoff in developed areas, reducing flooding and erosion, and improving downstream water quality. Urban ponds also serve as habitat for aquatic organisms in an otherwise terrestrial habitat. However, the r…
