Hawai‘i Island is no exception, with over 100,000 ha of historically forested land now dominated by non-native grasses. Passive forest restoration has been unsuccessful because these grasslands tend to persist even after grazers have been removed, yet active outplanting of native tree species can be cost-prohibitive at the landscape scale. It is therefore essential to seek co-benefits of forest restoration to defray costs, such as accredited carbon offsets from increased carbon sequestration. We developed a reforestation scenario for non-native grasslands on Hawai‘i Island by outplanting endemic koa (<i>Acacia koa</i>) trees paid for with carbon offsets via the California Cap and Trade Program. This scenario entails reforesting 53,531 ha of non-native grassland at 2500 ha y-1 over 22 years. We estimated planting costs at \\$6,178 ha-1, a total cost of approximately \\$331,000,000. We used the Land Use and Carbon Simulator (LUCAS) model to estimate island-wide ecosystem carbon sequestration with and without koa reforestation using 100 Monte Carlo simulations per year over a 60-year period. Income from carbon offsets was set at \\$13.57 per ton of CO<sub>2</sub> equivalent, the current California Cap and Trade Program carbon market price.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Acacia koa in Hawaiʻi: Facing the future: 2016 Koa symposium proceedings","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference publication"},"conferenceTitle":"Acacia koa in Hawaiʻi: Facing the Future","conferenceDate":"October 5, 2016","conferenceLocation":"Hilo, HI","language":"English","publisher":"Tropical Hardwood Tree Improvement and Regeneration Center","usgsCitation":"Selmants, P., Sleeter, B.M., Koch, N., and Friday, J.B., 2016, The potential carbon benefit of reforesting Hawai‘i Island non-native grasslands with endemic Acacia koa trees, <i>in</i> Acacia koa in Hawaiʻi: Facing the future: 2016 Koa symposium proceedings, Hilo, HI, October 5, 2016, p. 54-55.","productDescription":"2 p.","startPage":"54","endPage":"55","ipdsId":"IP-090079","costCenters":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":345038,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":345037,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/forestry/trees/koa_2016.html"}],"country":"United States","state":"Hawai'i","otherGeospatial":"Island of Hawai'i","publicComments":"Extended abstract.","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"599e9449e4b04935557fe9d7","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Ohara, Rebekah Dickens","contributorId":34016,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ohara","given":"Rebekah","email":"","middleInitial":"Dickens","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":708241,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Friday, James B.","contributorId":195791,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Friday","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":33500,"text":"University of Hawai`i at Manoa","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":708242,"contributorType":{"id":2,"text":"Editors"},"rank":2}],"authors":[{"text":"Selmants, Paul C. 0000-0001-6211-3957 pselmants@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6211-3957","contributorId":192591,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Selmants","given":"Paul","email":"pselmants@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":708201,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sleeter, Benjamin M. 0000-0003-2371-9571 bsleeter@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2371-9571","contributorId":3479,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sleeter","given":"Benjamin","email":"bsleeter@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":657,"text":"Western Geographic Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":654,"text":"Western Fisheries Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":708202,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Koch, Nicholas","contributorId":195790,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Koch","given":"Nicholas","email":"","affiliations":[{"id":34387,"text":"Forest Solutions, Inc.","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":708203,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Friday, James B.","contributorId":195791,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Friday","given":"James","email":"","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":33500,"text":"University of Hawai`i at Manoa","active":true,"usgs":false}],"preferred":false,"id":708204,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

The precipitation of authigenic calcium carbonate in seawater, however, has been hotly debated because despite being in a supersaturated state, there is an absence of persistent precipitation. One of the explanations for this paradox is the geochemical conditions in seawater cannot overcome the activation energy barrier for the first step in any precipitation reaction; nucleation. Here we show that virally induced rupturing of photosynthetic cyanobacterial cells releases cytoplasmic-associated bicarbonate at concentrations ~23-fold greater than in the surrounding seawater, thereby shifting the carbonate chemistry toward the homogenous nucleation of one or more of the calcium carbonate polymorphs. Using geochemical reaction energetics, we show the saturation states (Ω) in typical seawater for calcite (Ω = 4.3), aragonite (Ω = 3.1), and vaterite (Ω = 1.2) are significantly elevated following the release and diffusion of the cytoplasmic bicarbonate (Ω</span><sub>calcite</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>= 95.7; Ω</span><sub>aragonite</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>= 68.5; Ω</span><sub>vaterite</sub><span><span>&nbsp;</span>= 25.9). These increases in Ω significantly reduce the activation energy for nuclei formation thresholds for all three polymorphs, but only vaterite nucleation is energetically favored. In the post-lysis seawater, vaterite's nuclei formation activation energy is significantly reduced from 1.85 × 10</span><sup>−17</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>J to 3.85 × 10</span><sup>−20</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>J, which increases the nuclei formation rate from highly improbable (&lt;&lt;1.0 nuclei cm</span><sup>−3</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>s</span><sup>−1</sup><span>) to instantaneous (8.60 × 10</span><sup>25</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>nuclei cm</span><sup>−3</sup><span><span>&nbsp;</span>s</span><sup>−1</sup><span>). The proposed model for homogenous nucleation of calcium carbonate in seawater describes a mechanism through which the initial step in the production of carbonate sediments may proceed. It also presents an additional role of photosynthesizing microbes and their viruses in marine carbon cycles and reveals these microorganisms are a collective repository for concentrated and reactive dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) that is currently not accounted for in global carbon budgets and carbonate sediment diagenesis models.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Frontiers","doi":"10.3389/fmicb.2016.01958","usgsCitation":"Lisle, J.T., and Robbins, L.L., 2016, Viral lysis of photosynthesizing microbes as a mechanism for calcium carbonate nucleation in seawater: Frontiers in Microbiology, v. 7, Article 1958; 7 p., https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2016.01958.","productDescription":"Article 1958; 7 p.","ipdsId":"IP-061591","costCenters":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":471384,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.2016.01958","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":352777,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"7","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-12-09","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afeea5ae4b0da30c1bfc605","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lisle, John T. 0000-0002-5447-2092 jlisle@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5447-2092","contributorId":2944,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lisle","given":"John","email":"jlisle@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":656556,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Robbins, Lisa L. 0000-0003-3681-1094 lrobbins@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3681-1094","contributorId":422,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Robbins","given":"Lisa","email":"lrobbins@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":574,"text":"St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":656557,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

A portion of the oil interacted with river sediment and submerged requiring the development and implementation of new approaches for detection and recovery of oil mixed with river sediment. Hydrodynamic and sediment transport modeling became an integral part of containment and recovery operations for decision support about the potential fate and migration of submerged oil and oiled sediment. Three models were developed for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to cover a range of spatial scales of interest to onsite operations. Two-dimensional (2D) hydrodynamic and sediment transport models from the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code and the sediment bed model SEDZLJ1 were used to simulate potential resuspension, migration, and deposition of submerged oil and oiled sediment along a 38-mile reach of the Kalamazoo River affected by the oil from Marshall to Kalamazoo. An algorithm was added to SEDZLJ to represent three additional particle size classes of oilparticle aggregates (OPAs) with a range of sizes, specific gravities, and settling velocities. Field and laboratory experiments and flume tests were done to support the numerical modeling of OPAs. A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model was developed to simulate hydrodynamics and OPA tracking through Morrow Lake, the most downstream impoundment. This model incorporated wind and dam operations into high and low flow, lake drawdown, and containment simulations. Finally, a 2D unstructured grid model, HydroSed2D, was used to simulate flows and sediment transport along 1- to 2-mile segments of the Kalamazoo River around islands and through side channels and backwater areas that are particularly prone to submerged oil deposition.</p><p>Integrated models could be developed quickly due to the availability of information and services combined with spill response operations that included: bathymetry and topography data, fieldbased geomorphic mapping of submerged oil, and discharge measured at U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gauges. Modeling results were included in a multiple-lines-of-evidence approach that was used by the Federal On-Scene Coordinator and operations staff for decision-making related to assessment and recovery of submerged oil, as well as net environmental benefit analysis.

Primary threats to iguanas include habitat loss, direct and indirect impacts by invasive vertebrates, overexploitation, and human disturbance. As conspicuous, charismatic vertebrates, iguanas also represent excellent flagships for biodiversity conservation. To assist planning for invasive vertebrate management and thus benefit threatened iguana recovery, we identified all islands with known extant or extirpated populations of Critically Endangered and Endangered insular iguana taxa as recognized by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species. For each island, we determined total area, sovereignty, the presence of invasive alien vertebrates, and human population. For the 23 taxa of threatened insular iguanas we identified 230 populations, of which iguanas were extant on 185 islands and extirpated from 45 islands. Twenty-one iguana taxa (91% of all threatened insular iguana taxa) occurred on at least one island with invasive vertebrates present; 16 taxa had 100% of their population(s) on islands with invasive vertebrates present. Rodents, cats, ungulates, and dogs were the most common invasive vertebrates. We discuss biosecurity, eradication, and control of invasive vertebrates to benefit iguana recovery: (1) on islands already free of invasive vertebrates; (2) on islands with high iguana endemicity; and (3) for species and subspecies with small total populations occurring across multiple small islands. Our analyses provide an important first step toward understanding how invasive vertebrate management can be planned effectively to benefit threatened insular iguanas.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Iguanas: Biology, Systematics, and Conservation: Herpetological Conservation and Biology 11(Monograph 6)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"Herpetological Conservation and Biology","usgsCitation":"Tershy, B.R., Newton, K.M., Spatz, D.R., Swinnerton, K., Iverson, J.B., Fisher, R.N., Harlow, P.S., Holmes, N.D., and Croll, D.A., 2016, The biogeography of threatened insular iguanas and opportunities for invasive vertebrate management, chap. <i>of</i> Iguanas: Biology, Systematics, and Conservation: Herpetological Conservation and Biology 11(Monograph 6), v. 11, no. 6, p. 222-236.","productDescription":"15 p.","startPage":"222","endPage":"236","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","ipdsId":"IP-061457","costCenters":[{"id":651,"text":"Western Ecological Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":324528,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":323888,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://www.herpconbio.org/contents_vol11_Monograph6.html"}],"volume":"11","issue":"6","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":1,"text":"Sacramento PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"57739fb8e4b07657d1a90d8d","contributors":{"editors":[{"text":"Iverson, J.

Lake Erie Biological Station’s primary vessel surveys included the Western Basin Forage Fish Assessment and East Harbor Fish Community Assessment as well as contributing to the cooperative multi-agency Central Basin Hydroacoustics Assessment, the Eastern Basin Coldwater Community Assessment, and Lower Trophic Level Assessment (see Forage and Coldwater Task Group reports). In 2015, LEBS also initiated a Lake Erie Central Basin Trawling survey in response to the need for forage fish data from Management Unit 3 (as defined by the Yellow Perch Task Group). Results from these surveys contribute to Lake Erie Committee Fish Community Goals and Objectives. Our 2015 vessel operations were initiated in early April and continued into late November. During this time, crews of the R/V Muskie and R/V Bowfin deployed 121 bottom trawls covering 83.2 ha of lake-bottom and catching 105,600 fish totaling 4,065 kg during four separate trawl surveys in the western and central basins of Lake Erie. We deployed and lifted 9.5 km of gillnet, which caught an additional 805 fish, 100 (337 kg) of which were the native coldwater predators Lake Trout, Burbot, and Lake Whitefish (these data are reported in the 2016 Coldwater Task Group report). We also conducted 317 km of hydroacoustic survey transects (reported in the 2016 Forage Task Group report), collected 114 lower trophic (i.e. zooplankton and benthos) samples, and obtained 216 water quality observations (e.g., temperature profiles, and water samples). The LEBS also assisted CLC member agencies with the maintenance and expansion of GLATOS throughout all three Lake Erie sub-basins. Within the following report sections, we describe results from three trawl surveys – the spring and autumn Western Basin Forage Fish Assessment and the East Harbor Forage Fish Assessment – and the Lower Trophic Level Assessment conducted in 2015, and examine trends in the fish community structure and trophic status of Lake Erie.

In this study, we evaluated the behavioral classification accuracy of a Bayesian state-space model in Pacific walruses using Argos satellite tags with sensors to detect animal behavior in real time. We fit a two-state discrete-time continuous-space Bayesian state-space model to data from 306 Pacific walruses tagged in the Chukchi Sea. We matched predicted locations and behaviors from the state-space model (resident, transient behavior) to true animal behavior (foraging, swimming, hauled out) and evaluated classification accuracy with kappa statistics (<i>κ</i>) and root mean square error (RMSE). In addition, we compared biased random bridge utilization distributions generated with resident behavior locations to true foraging behavior locations to evaluate differences in space use patterns. Results indicated that the two-state model fairly classified true animal behavior (0.06 ≤ <i>κ</i> ≤ 0.26, 0.49 ≤ RMSE ≤ 0.59). Kernel overlap metrics indicated utilization distributions generated with resident behavior locations were generally smaller than utilization distributions generated with true foraging behavior locations. Consequently, we encourage researchers to carefully examine parameters and priors associated with behaviors in state-space models, and reconcile these parameters with the study species and its expected behaviors.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Wiley","doi":"10.1111/mms.12332","usgsCitation":"Beatty, W.S., Jay, C.V., and Fischbach, A.S., 2016, An evaluation of behavior inferences from Bayesian state-space models: A case study with the Pacific walrus: Marine Mammal Science, v. 32, no. 4, p. 1299-1318, https://doi.org/10.1111/mms.12332.","productDescription":"20 p.","startPage":"1299","endPage":"1318","ipdsId":"IP-069772","costCenters":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":438647,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/F77M060G","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Walrus Bayesian State-space Model Output from the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, 2008-2012"},{"id":341325,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"32","issue":"4","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2016-07-11","publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"591abe36e4b0a7fdb43c8bf5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Beatty, William S. 0000-0003-0013-3113 wbeatty@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0013-3113","contributorId":173946,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Beatty","given":"William","email":"wbeatty@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":606,"text":"Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":695273,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jay, Chadwick V. 0000-0002-9559-2189 cjay@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9559-2189","contributorId":192736,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jay","given":"Chadwick","email":"cjay@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"V.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":695274,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Fischbach, Anthony S. 0000-0002-6555-865X afischbach@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6555-865X","contributorId":2865,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fischbach","given":"Anthony","email":"afischbach@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":116,"text":"Alaska Science Center Biology MFEB","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":695275,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

If fish can resist death due to a stressor, they recover to a similar or somewhat similar homeostatic norm.

Variations within the stress response are introduced by the environmental history of the fish, present ambient environmental conditions, and the fish's present physiological condition. Currently, fish physiology has progressed to the point where we can easily recognize when fish are stressed, but we cannot always recognize when fish are unstressed because the lack of clinical signs of stress does not always correspond to fish being unstressed. In other words, we need to be aware of the possibility of false negatives regarding clinical signs of stress. In addition, we cannot use clinical data to precisely or accurately infer severity of a stressor.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/B978-0-12-802728-8.00001-1","usgsCitation":"Schreck, C.B., and Tort, L., 2016, The concept of stress in fish: Fish Physiology, v. 35, p. 1-34, https://doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-802728-8.00001-1.","productDescription":"34 p.","startPage":"1","endPage":"34","ipdsId":"IP-070040","costCenters":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":350652,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"35","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":12,"text":"Tacoma PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a6c4c96e4b06e28e9cabb08","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Schreck, Carl B. 0000-0001-8347-1139 carl.schreck@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8347-1139","contributorId":878,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Schreck","given":"Carl","email":"carl.schreck@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"B.","affiliations":[{"id":289,"text":"Forest and Rangeland Ecosys Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":717399,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Tort, Lluis","contributorId":169142,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Tort","given":"Lluis","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":725890,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

It is the backbone of our DNA, provides energy for biological reactions, and is an integral component of cell membranes. As such, it is no surprise that P availability plays a strong role in regulating ecosystem structure and function (Wassen et al. 2005, Elser et al. 2007, Condit et al. 2013), and in determining our capacity to grow food for a burgeoning human population (Sharpley et al. 1997, Sims and Sharpley 2005, Lal 2009). Concerns that P supplies are insufficient to meet our species’ growing demands are on the rise (Richardson and Simpson 2011) and scientific and media outlets increasingly discuss P as an element worthy of our attention and concern (e.g., Cordell et al. 2009, Lougheed 2011, Edixhoven et al. 2013, Ulrich et al. 2013). Indeed, a number of groups are calling for the explicit stewardship of our planet’s P stocks (Schipper 2014, Withers et al. 2015). Yet a focus on P as a vital and limited resource is not new in the tropics, where an abundance of soils characterized by low P has resulted in a substantial, longstanding reliance on P inputs for tropical ecosystem function in both unmanaged and agriculture settings (Table 1, Figure 2; Sanchez 1976, Swap et al. 1992, Chadwick et al. 1999, Okin et al. 2004, Lal 2009). Indeed, there is a long history of cultivation in the tropics, where for thousands of years land management practices have included methods that effectively modify P availability for plant growth (e.g., Giardina et al. 2000, Lawrence and Schlesinger 2001, Vitousek et al. 2004, Lewis et al. 2015). Nevertheless, low soil fertility in tropical systems where fertilizer is scarce has enduringly been recognized as a major source of hunger and starvation (Sanchez and Buol 1975, Sanchez 2002, Sanchez and Swaminathan 2005).","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Soil phosphorus","language":"English","publisher":"Taylor & Francis","doi":"10.1201/9781315372327-12","usgsCitation":"Reed, S.C., and Wood, T.E., 2016, Soil phosphorus cycling in tropical soils: An ultisol and oxisol perspective, chap. <i>of</i> Soil phosphorus, p. 247-283, https://doi.org/10.1201/9781315372327-12.","productDescription":"37 p.","startPage":"247","endPage":"283","ipdsId":"IP-073259","costCenters":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":351493,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":14,"text":"Menlo Park PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5afeea4ce4b0da30c1bfc5e9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Reed, Sasha C. 0000-0002-8597-8619 screed@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8597-8619","contributorId":462,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Reed","given":"Sasha","email":"screed@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":568,"text":"Southwest Biological Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":714364,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Wood, Tana E.","contributorId":197805,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Wood","given":"Tana","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":714365,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

In the northern Gulf of Mexico (nGoM), an area especially vulnerable to SLR, the abundance and distribution of SAV food resources (seeds, rhizomes, and tissue) can influence the carrying capacity of coastal marshes to support wintering waterfowl. Despite the known importance of SAV little is known about their distribution across coastal landscapes and salinity zones or how they may be impacted by SLR. We estimated SAV cover and seed biomass in coastal marshes from Texas to Alabama from 1 June – 15 September 2013 to assess variation in SAV and seed resource distribution and abundance across the salinity gradient. Percent cover of SAV was similar among salinity zones (10%–20%) although patterns of distribution differed. Specifically, SAV occurred less frequently in saline zones, but when present the percent coverage was greater than in fresh, intermediate and brackish. Mean seed biomass varied greatly and did not differ significantly among salinity zones. However, when considering only seed species identified as waterfowl foods, the mean seed biomass was lower in saline zones (1.2 g m–2). Alteration of nGoM marshes due to SLR will likely shift the distribution and abundance of SAV resources, and these shifts may affect carrying capacity of coastal marshes for waterfowl and other associated species. </p>","language":"English","publisher":"Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies","usgsCitation":"DeMarco, K., Hillmann, E.R., Brasher, M., and LaPeyre, M.K., 2016, Brackish marsh zones as a waterfowl habitat resource in submerged aquatic vegetation beds in the northern Gulf of Mexico : Journal of the Southeastern Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, v. 3, p. 261-269.","productDescription":"9 p.","startPage":"261","endPage":"269","ipdsId":"IP-066189","costCenters":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":349203,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Gulf of Mexico","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -96.5478515625,\n              28\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.099609375,\n              28\n            ],\n            [\n              -87.099609375,\n              31\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.5478515625,\n              31\n            ],\n            [\n              -96.5478515625,\n              28\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"3","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":8,"text":"Raleigh PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5a60fd88e4b06e28e9c24fb4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"DeMarco, Kristin","contributorId":200003,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"DeMarco","given":"Kristin","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":723050,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Hillmann, Eva R.","contributorId":200686,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Hillmann","given":"Eva","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":723051,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brasher, Michael G.","contributorId":17139,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Brasher","given":"Michael G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":723052,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"LaPeyre, Megan K. 0000-0001-9936-2252 mlapeyre@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9936-2252","contributorId":585,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"LaPeyre","given":"Megan","email":"mlapeyre@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"K.","affiliations":[{"id":198,"text":"Coop Res Unit Atlanta","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":17705,"text":"Wetland and Aquatic Research Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":718095,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}
