Book Synopsis Rapid Invasion of a Great Lakes Coastal Wetland by Non-native Phragmites Australis and Typha by : Mirela G. Tulbure
Download or read book Rapid Invasion of a Great Lakes Coastal Wetland by Non-native Phragmites Australis and Typha written by Mirela G. Tulbure and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great Lakes coastal wetlands are subject to water level fluctuations that promote the maintenance of coastal wetlands. Point au Sauble, a Green Bay coastal wetland, was an open water lagoon as of 1999, but became entirely vegetated as Lake Michigan experienced a prolonged period of below-average water levels. Repeat visits in 2001 and 2004 documented a dramatic change in emergent wetland vegetation communities. In 2001 non-native Phragmites and Typha were present but their cover was sparse; in 2004 half of the transect was covered by a 3 m tall, invasive Phragmites and non-native Typha community. Percent similarity between plant species present in 2001 versus 2004 was approximately 19% (Jaccard's coefficient), indicating dramatic changes in species composition that took place in only 3 years. The height of the dominant herbaceous plants and coverage by invasive species were significantly higher in 2004 than they were in 2001. However, floristic quality index and coefficient of conservatism were greater in 2004 than 2001. Cover by plant litter did not differ between 2001 and 2004. The prolonged period of below-average water levels between 1999 and early 2004 exposed unvegetated lagoon bottoms as mudflats, which provided substrate for new plant colonization and created conditions conducive to colonization by invasive taxa. PCR/RFLP analysis revealed that Phragmites from Point au Sauble belongs to the more aggressive, introduced genotype. It displaces native vegetation and is tolerant of a wide range of water depth. Therefore it may disrupt the natural cycles of vegetation replacement that occur under native plant communities in healthy Great Lakes coastal wetlands.
Book Synopsis Bird Community Response to Change in Wetland Extent and Lake Level in Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands by : Tara Hohman
Download or read book Bird Community Response to Change in Wetland Extent and Lake Level in Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands written by Tara Hohman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coastal wetlands in the Laurentian Great Lakes undergo frequent, sometimes dramatic physical changes at varying spatial and temporal scales. Changes in lake levels and subsequent changes in the juxtaposition of vegetation and open water greatly influence biota that use coastal wetlands. Several regional studies have shown that changes in vegetation and lake levels lead to predictable changes in the composition of coastal wetland bird communities. We report new findings of wetland bird community changes at a much broader scale, covering the entire Great Lakes. Our results indicate that water extent and interspersion increased in coastal wetlands across the Great Lakes basin between low (2013) and high (2018) lake-level years, although variation in the magnitude of change occurred within and among lakes. Increases in water extent and interspersion resulted in a general increase in marsh obligate and marsh-facultative bird species richness across the basin. Species like American bittern, common gallinule, American coot, sora, Virginia rail, and pied-billed grebe were significantly more abundant during high water years. Lake Huron and Lake Michigan showed the greatest increase in water extent and interspersion among the five Great Lakes, while Lake Michigan showed the greatest increase in marsh-obligate bird species richness. These results suggest that effective management, restoration, and assessment of wetlands must account for fluctuations in lake levels. Although high lake levels generally provide the most favorable conditions for wetland bird species, variations in lake levels and bird species occurrences produce an ecosystem that is both spatially and temporally dynamic.

Book Synopsis Hydrogeomorphic Factors and Ecosystem Responses in Coastal Wetlands of the Great Lakes by : Janet R. Keough
Download or read book Hydrogeomorphic Factors and Ecosystem Responses in Coastal Wetlands of the Great Lakes written by Janet R. Keough and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gauging the impact of manipulative activities, such as rehabilitation or management, on wetlands requires having a notion of the unmanipulated condition as a reference. And understanding of the reference condition requires knowledge of dominant factors influencing ecosystem processes and biological communities. In this paper, we focus on natural physical factors (conditions and processes) that drive coastal wetland ecosystems of the Laurentian Great Lakes. Great Lakes coastal wetlands develop under conditions of large-lake hydrology and disturbance imposed at a hierarchy of spatial and temporal scales and contain biotic communities adapted to unstable and unpredictable conditions. Coastal wetlands are configured along a continuum of hydrogeomorphic types: open coastal wetlands, drowned river mouth and flooded delta wetlands, and protected wetlands, each developing distinct ecosystem properties and biotic communities. Hydrogeomorphic factors associated with the lake and watershed operate at a hierarchy of scales: a) local and short-term (seiches and ice action), b) watershed / lakewide / annual (seasonal water-level change), and c) larger or year-to-year and longer (regional and/or greater than one-year). Other physical factors include the unique water quality features of each lake. The aim of this paper is to provide scientists and managers with a framework for considering regional and site-specific geomorphometry and a hierarchy of physical processes in planning management and conservation projects.
