Research Interests: |
|
|
Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment impacts many coastal ecosystems, and a major component of my research addresses how nutrient supply influences trophic interactions in tidal marshes, seagrass beds, and coral reef habitats. My current research projects address two broad questions (1) How does nutrient enrichment alter the trophic structure and refuge value of seagrass beds and salt marshes, and (2) How does sea level rise alter ecological interactions and processes in coastal wetlands? |
