Cross–scale interactions and changing pattern–process relationships: consequences for system dynamics
Cross–scale interactions refer to processes at one spatial or temporal scale interacting with
processes at another scale to result in nonlinear dynamics with thresholds. These …

NDVI as an indicator for changes in water availability to woody vegetation
Barrier islands shrub thickets, the dominant woody community of many Atlantic coast barrier
islands, are very sensitive to changes in the freshwater lens and thus, constitute a strong …

Application of hyperspectral vegetation indices to detect variations in high leaf area index temperate shrub thicket canopies
Accurate measurement of leaf area index (LAI), an important characteristic of plant canopies
directly linked to primary production, is essential for monitoring changes in ecosystem C …

Crossing scales: The complexity of barrier-island processes for predicting future change
Barrier islands are heavily influenced by external drivers such as sea-level rise, storm-
related disturbances, and other complex factors that affect net sediment exchange …

Effects of sea‐level rise on barrier island groundwater system dynamics–ecohydrological implications
We used a numerical model to investigate how a barrier island groundwater system
responds to increases of up to 60 cm in sea level. We found that a sea‐level rise of 20 cm …

Connectivity in coastal systems: Barrier island vegetation influences upland migration in a changing climate
Due to their position at the land–sea interface, barrier islands are vulnerable to both oceanic
and atmospheric climate change‐related drivers. In response to relative sea‐level rise …
