Abstract Physical data for oyster reef sites sampled in late spring (June), summer (June-September), and fall (September-November) 2017. Four embayments were sampled from... -
Biogenic silica standing stock and productivity on the Mississippi-Alabama Sh...
Abstract Diatoms are an important phytoplankton group in this region as they can dominate both the standing stock of phytoplankton and the rate of primary production at times.... -
Characterization of Chandeleur Island, Louisiana, Salt Marsh Microbial Commun...
Abstract As oil was deposited differentially within Chandeleur Island salt marshes, it was important to investigate the microbiology of oil-impacted areas as marsh vegetation is... -

Assessing the abundance of genes involved in the denitrification pathways col...
Abstract Selected genes involved in nitrogen cycling were enumerated from sediment collected on the marsh platform as well as from nearby subtidal unvegetated sediments in the... -
Sediment characteristics in oil impacted salt marshes on Chandeleur Islands, ...
Abstract Sediment characteristics were measured during a project to investigate sediment denitrification and nitrogen cycling processes. Sediments were filtered and stored on... -
Water column nutrients and chlorophyll a concentrations in oil impacted salt ...
Abstract Water column nutrients were measured during a project to investigate sediment denitrification and nitrogen cycling processes. Water samples were filtered through GF/F... -
The effects of oiling on salt marsh and mangrove macrofauna communities at th...
Abstract To determine the relative abundances, species number, and composition of macrofauna, all plots were sampled at high tide during the growing season (June and September)... -
Macroinfaunal biomass analysis in shallow water habitats around the Chandeleu...
Abstract Biomass measurements of benthic macroinfauna were measured in conjunction with field-deployed sediment oxygen demand chambers at four sites on the Chandeleur Sound side... -
Seagrass (Ruppia maritima) responses to oil exposure in mesocosms
Abstract Seagrass cores (6“ diameter, PVC, 10” long) of Ruppia maritima were collected in the Chandeleur Islands (Louisiana) and Estero Bay (Florida) to examine how the two... -
Macroinfaunal abundance in shallow water habitats around Tampa Bay in 2015
Abstract Abundances of benthic macroinfauna were measured in conjunction with field-deployed sediment oxygen demand chambers at two sites around Tampa Bay, Florida, in the...
