The impact of leaf litter from native mangrove and invasive cordgrass on coastal sediment nitrogen removal
Background Leaf litter-derived organic matter (OM) serves as a major source for carbon burial and a key driver for reactive nitrogen (Nr) biogeochemical cycles in coastal wetlands. However, its impacts on sediment Nr removal and associated nitrous oxide (N 2 O) production remain unexplored, particul

Well, Larry, I would’ve said I was “waist-high in cordgrass” if I actually WAS waist-high in it, but I WASN’T waist-high in it. I was DICK-high in it. So, accordingly, I said I was “DICK-high in cordgrass”

The Cordgrass is changing, the goldenrod gold,
As September's days begin to unfold.
Without this soft turning,
the world would stand still,
For change is the heartbeat that moves every hill. ⛰️

🌞🌱Coastal solar power and ecosystem restoration must go hand in hand. Along China’s coasts, renewable energy projects and invasive cordgrass control are overlapping. Smart design and coordination can help both nature and clean energy thrive.

Ribbed mussels anchor to cordgrass stems and poop plankton-derived nitrogen into the peat. Their mounds store freshwater and flush toxic sulfide. The grass repays them with shade, anchorage, and cover from crabs. Cordgrass survives drought 5x-25× better where mussels pile up 🦪🌾

In essence, hogs turn a network of positive interactions into one of negative antagonistic interactions, as they selectively forage for mussels and choose to walk on substrates stabilized by cordgrass.

Walking through cordgrass at the Plum Island Ecosystems LTER, Dr. Robyn Zerebecki noticed an interesting phenomena: taller cordgrass near the sea becomes shorter towards the back of the marsh. But is the pattern universal? Katie Sperry (1/2)
