Many wetland environmental gradients structure plant community composition, yet controls of plant community composition within rich fens, botanically diverse groundwater-fed wetlands, are still incompletely understood. Porewater chemistry and plant c

Plant diversity in groundwater-fed wetland ecosystems is typically extraordinarily high, yet the biogeochemical controls of this diversity are still incompletely understood. We hypothesized that fine-scale variation in sulfide would influence plant c

Mosses play an integral role in the hydrologic regimes of ecosystems where they cover the soil surface, and thus affect biogeochemical cycling of elements influenced by soil oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions, including the plant growth-limiting n

Assessment of vegetation is an important part of evaluating wetland condition, but it is complicated by the variety of plant communities that are naturally present in freshwater wetlands. We present an approach to evaluate wetland condition consistin

Wetlands of the Great Lakes region are increasingly dominated by invasive cattails (Typha angustifolia and Typha X glauca) which form dense stands of live and dead biomass that may reduce plant diversity. We hypothesized that differences in plant lit

Hydrochemical patterns across groundwater-fed wetlands, especially carbonate and redox gradients, can influence phosphorus (P) availability by controlling its distribution among different soil pools. We explored these linkages by comparing shallow (5

Emergent plants can be suitable indicators of anthropogenic stress in coastal wetlands if their responses to natural environmental variation can be parsed from their responses to human activities in and around wetlands. We used hierarchical partition

Summary This study compares hydrologic investigations of four New York fens designed to characterize spatial variability in groundwater flow (GWF) and the resulting hydrochemical patterns that influence plant nutrient availability. At the marl fen an

Plant taxa identified in 90 U.S. Great Lakes coastal emergent wetlands were evaluated as indicators of physical environment. Canonical correspondence analysis using the 40 most common taxa showed that water depth and tussock height explained the grea

Suburban, exurban, and rural development in the United States consumes nearly 1 million hectares of land per year and is a leading threat to biodiversity. In response to this threat, conservation development has been advanced as a way to combine land
