The Distribution and Structure of Mangroves (Avicennia germinans and Rhizophora mangle) Near a Rapidly Changing Range Limit in the Northeastern Gulf of Mexico

Caitlin M. Snyder et al.

Summary: The study reveals that mangrove species in the Apalachicola Bay region are expanding unexpectedly, with historical records showing their presence for over 150 years and current growth conditions significantly different from the past. Unlike the A. germinans-dominated mangrove populations in Louisiana and Texas, the Apalachicola Bay region exhibits a high number and broad distribution of R. mangle individuals.

Effects of mangrove encroachment on tidal wetland plant, nekton, and bird communities in the Western Gulf of Mexico

Anna R. Armitage et al.

Summary: The study found that woody encroachment of mangroves into coastal wetlands can lead to a decrease in plant species richness and changes in animal assemblages, with certain species being more common in areas without mangroves. Results were consistent with a previous manipulative experiment, indicating mangroves have significant impacts on associated plant and animal communities as woody encroachment continues and mangrove cover increases.

A comparison of mangrove and marsh influences on soil respiration rates: A mesocosm study

Emily K. Geoghegan et al.

Summary: The study found that mangrove seedlings did not increase heterotrophic respiration, and that respiration rate was significantly higher in marsh-derived soils compared to mangrove-derived soils. The results suggest that the stage of mangrove invasion and root development level may influence changes in heterotrophic soil respiration.

Changes in Ecosystem Nitrogen and Carbon Allocation with Black Mangrove (Avicennia germinans) Encroachment into Spartina alterniflora Salt Marsh

Aaron Macy et al.

Summary: Increases in temperature are expected to facilitate the encroachment of tropical mangrove forests into temperate salt marshes. The study conducted in Louisiana, USA, compared carbon and nitrogen stocks in marshes and mangroves and found that black mangrove encroachment leads to increased aboveground carbon and nitrogen stocks. However, belowground nitrogen and carbon sequestration may not be affected. Further studies are needed to better understand the implications of mangrove encroachment on nitrogen cycling, storage, and export to the coastal ocean.

Mangrove Encroachment Alters Decomposition Rate in Saltmarsh Through Changes in Litter Quality

Summary: The study found that mangrove expansion may increase nutrient availability by increasing turnover of leaf litter, but it does not significantly alter the environmental factors driving decomposition. Differences in soil nutrient sources may vary between habitats due to shifts in foundation plant species.

Loss of Coastal Islands Along Florida's Big Bend Region: Implications for Breeding American Oystercatchers

Nick Vitale et al.

Summary: This study investigated habitat changes for American oystercatchers in the Big Bend region of Florida, finding that both the Barge Canal and Cedar Key islands have experienced significant decreases in size. These islands may currently act as ecological traps for oystercatchers, and ongoing climate change and decline of oyster reefs are likely to further drive habitat loss for this species.

How Plants Influence Resilience of Salt Marsh and Mangrove Wetlands to Sea-Level Rise

Donald R. Cahoon et al.

Summary: This review emphasizes the importance of plants in determining the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise. Plants play a key role in stabilizing soil elevations and helping maintain wetland position by influencing sediment deposition and organic matter contributions. Recognition of the significance of plants in coastal wetland resilience is crucial for accurate predictions and effective management plans.

Variability in the fundamental versus realized niches of North American mangroves

Remi Bardou et al.

Summary: This study compared the fundamental and realized thermal niches of two mangrove species on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America. The results showed that there were slight differences in the performance of the two mangrove species on different coasts. Physiological thresholds closely matched realized distributions for both black and red mangroves on the Atlantic coast, while Pacific red mangroves were surprisingly freeze tolerant. The experiments indicated that mangroves can tolerate colder water temperatures than currently experienced at either range limit.

Stable Isotopes Suggest Limited Role of Wetland Macrophyte Production Supporting Aquatic Food Webs Across a Mangrove-Salt Marsh Ecotone

Ronald Baker et al.

Summary: Mangroves and salt marshes are considered important habitats for a variety of fishery and other species, with a key role in fueling aquatic food webs. However, field sampling suggests that these wetland producers play a limited role in supporting aquatic consumers. Strong correlations were found between micro-algal sources and aquatic consumers across the ecotone.

Juvenile snook found in South Carolina showed growth rates similar to those in Florida during a cold period, suggesting potential for ongoing range expansion to the region.

Mangrove growth response to experimental warming is greatest near the range limit in northeast Florida

Site differences in growth rate were pronounced, with the northern site exhibiting lower growth rates and a wider growth pattern.

Tropicalization of temperate ecosystems in North America: The northward range expansion of tropical organisms in response to warming winter temperatures

Michael J. Osland et al.

Summary: Tropicalization refers to the transformation of temperate ecosystems by poleward-moving tropical organisms in response to warming temperatures. In North America, as extreme winter cold events decrease, many tropical species are expected to expand their range northward, potentially impacting temperate organisms. The effects of extreme cold events on tropical organisms are significant and understudied, with warming winters likely facilitating the poleward range expansion of tropical species.

Carbon and nitrogen pools and mobile fractions in surface soils across a mangrove saltmarsh ecotone

David Bruce Lewis et al.

Summary: In subtropical regions, climate change is causing a shift from woody mangrove forests to herbaceous saltmarshes, impacting soil carbon and nitrogen pools. Research in west-central Florida found that organic fractions were more concentrated in mangrove surface soil, scaling positively with soil organic matter and fine mineral particle concentrations, which tended to be higher in mangrove soil due to lower elevation and greater fine particle content. Active C and extractable mineral N were slightly higher in mangrove soil, but total N and C did not show significant differences between zones. Additionally, extractable organic fractions composed a greater proportion of total C and N pools in mangrove surface soils, pointing towards potential implications for nutrient cycling and ecosystem function.

Nitrogen addition alters composition, diversity, and functioning of microbial communities in mangrove soils: An incubation experiment

Hayley Craig et al.

Summary: Nitrogen addition leads to significant changes in the structure and diversity of mangrove soil bacterial communities, as well as impacting microbial biomass and activity. Changes in nitrogen levels may alter the activity of enzymes involved in carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus cycling, and increase the microbial metabolic quotient. These findings suggest potential implications for microbial communities and carbon and nutrient cycling in mangrove environments.

Foundation Species Shift Alters the Energetic Landscape of Marsh Nekton

J. Mason Harris et al.

Summary: Climate change-induced sea level rise and mangrove expansion are rapidly altering coastal systems in the northern Gulf of Mexico. An overall decrease in energetic benefit to consumers was observed with increasing mangrove cover, while edge habitats had a positive relationship with overall energetic production. Changes in habitat cover, especially the conversion of land to water due to sea level rise, may reduce the ability of these systems to support existing consumer species.
