Uncertainty in tundra plant functional traits outweighs climate scenario uncertainty Open
Plant functional traits provide a link to scale from organism to community and ecosystem levels, making it critical to understand how traits will mediate ecosystem responses to climate change. Combinations of these functional traits, which…

Quantifying the Relative Importance of Sand Deposition and Dune Grasses to Carbon Storage in US Central Atlantic Coast Dunes Open
Coastal ecosystems such as mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses sequester large amounts of carbon per unit area due to their high productivity and sediment accumulation rates. However, only a handful of studies have examined carbon sequ…

Sand supply and dune grass species density affect foredune shape along the <span>US</span> Central Atlantic Coast Open
Coastal foredunes form via biophysical feedbacks between sand accretion and burial‐tolerant vegetation and can protect coastlines from hazards such as extreme storms and sea level rise. Predicting how coastal dunes, and the services they p…

Species-Specific Functional Morphology of Four US Atlantic Coast Dune Grasses: Biogeographic Implications for Dune Shape and Coastal Protection Open
Coastal dunes arise from feedbacks between vegetation and sediment supply. Species-specific differences in plant functional morphology affect sand capture and dune shape. In this study, we build on research showing a relationship between d…

POST-STORM DUNE RECOVERY IN CAPE LOOKOUT NATIONAL SEASHORE, NC Open
Coastal dunes are often the first and primary form of defense against destructive surge and waves that accompany extreme storm events. Beach grasses are known to affect dune height, width, and stability, contributing to the dune’s abilit…

Literature-based latitudinal distribution and possible range shifts of two US east coast dune grass species ( <i>Uniola paniculata</i> and <i>Ammophila breviligulata</i> ) Open
Previous work on the US Atlantic coast has generally shown that coastal foredunes are dominated by two dune grass species, Ammophila breviligulata (American beachgrass) and Uniola paniculata (sea oats). From Virginia northward, A. brevilig…

Ecosystem structure and function in two branches of an eastern Minnesota, USA, trout stream Open
Among freshwater systems, coldwater habitats are among the most threatened by climate change. Examining the impacts of increasing water temperature requires the use of both traditional biomonitoring efforts and measures of ecosystem functi…

New species of Austropurcellia, cryptic short-range endemic mite harvestmen (Arachnida, Opiliones, Cyphophthalmi) from Australia’s Wet Tropics biodiversity hotspot Open
The genus Austropurcellia is a lineage of tiny leaf-litter arachnids that inhabit tropical rainforests throughout the eastern coast of Queensland, Australia. The majority of their diversity is found within the Wet Tropics rainforests of no…
