Abstract Depressional wetlands are predominant surface hydrological features providing critical societal ecosystem services in the semiarid United States High Plains. Critical wetland properties may… Expand
The Tidal Marsh Inundation Index (TMII): An inundation filter to flag flooded pixels and improve MODIS tidal marsh vegetation time-series analysis
- Jessica L. O’Connell, D. Mishra, D. Cotten, L. Wang, M. Alber
- Environmental Science
- 1 November 2017
Abstract Remote sensing in tidal marshes can provide regional assessments of wetland extent, phenology, primary production, and carbon sequestration. However, periodic tidal flooding reduces spectral… Expand
Predicting dispersal-limitation in plants: Optimizing planting decisions for isolated wetland restoration in agricultural landscapes
- Jessica L. O’Connell, Lacrecia A. Johnson, Benjamin J. Beas, L. Smith, S. Mcmurry, D. Haukos
- Environmental Science
- 1 March 2013
Abstract Isolated wetlands are often degraded by agriculture, increasing sediment accretion and altering plant composition. Two common opposing wetland restoration practices are self-design vs.… Expand
Remotely-Sensed Indicators of N-Related Biomass Allocation in Schoenoplectus acutus

- 10 March 2014
Coastal marshes depend on belowground biomass of roots and rhizomes to contribute to peat and soil organic carbon, accrete soil and alleviate flooding as sea level rises. For nutrient-limited plants,… Expand
Marsh Terraces in Coastal Louisiana Increase Marsh Edge and Densities of Waterbirds

We evaluated the influence of marsh terracing on waterbirds in Louisiana’s Chenier Plain. Terracing is a novel technique used to slow coastal marsh loss. Terracing increases marsh edge and is assumed… Expand
Effects of Marsh Pond Terracing on Coastal Wintering Waterbirds Before and After Hurricane Rita

- Geography, Medicine
- Environmental management
- 28 August 2011
From February to March 2005–2006, we surveyed wintering waterbirds to test effects of terracing on coastal pond use before and after Hurricane Rita. Marsh terracing is intended to slow coastal marsh… Expand
