The mineralization of nitrogen and phosphorus from plant residues provides an important
input of inorganic nutrients to the soil, which can be taken up by plants. The dynamics of …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the Florida Everglades controls a number of
environmental processes important for ecosystem function including the absorption of light …

The authors summarize the main findings of the Florida Coastal Everglades Long-Term
Ecological Research (FCE-LTER) program in the EMER, within the context of the …

Increased recognition of the global importance of salt marshes as 'blue carbon'(C) sinks has
led to concern that salt marshes could release large amounts of stored C into the …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is an essential component of the carbon cycle and a critical
driver in controlling variety of biogeochemical and ecological processes in wetlands. The …

The microbially mediated transformation of detrital P entering wetlands has important
implications for the cycling and long-term sequestration of P in wetland soils. We …

Foliar litter is the main input of organic carbon to many soils, and thus litter decomposition
processes are integral to our understanding of carbon dynamics in soil systems. Despite the …

Three enduring conceptual models make predictions regarding the basal production
sources supporting the upper food web of rivers: the River Continuum Concept, the Flood …

Seasonally flooded, freshwater cypress-tupelo wetlands, dominated by baldcypress
(Taxodium distictum), water tupelo (Nyssa aquatica), and swamp tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is outwelled from highly productive salt marshes, but its
sources and fates are unclear. To examine common salt marsh plants as sources of coastal …
