Temperature And Water Levels Collectively Regulate Methane Emissions From Subtropical Freshwater Wetlands
He, K., Li, W., Zhang, Y., Zeng, A., de Graaf, I. E., Aguilos, M., Sun, G., McNulty, S. G., King, J. S., Flanagan, N. E., Richardson, C. J.

Wetlands are the largest and most climate-sensitive natural sources of methane. Accurately estimating wetland methane emissions involves reconciling inversion (“top-down”) and process-based (“bottom-up”) models within the global methane budget. However, estimates from these two model types are inherently interdependent and …

Hydrologic Perturbation Is A Key Driver Of Tree Mortality In Bottomland Hardwood Wetland Forests Of North Carolina, Usa
Aguilos, M., Carter, C., Middlebrough, B., Bulluck, J., Webb, J., Brannum, K., Watts, J. O., Lobeira, M., Sun, G., McNulty, S., King, J.

Bottomland hardwood wetland forests along the Atlantic Coast of the United States have been changing over time; this change has been exceptionally apparent in the last two decades. Tree mortality is one of the most visually striking changes occurring in these coastal forests today. Using 2009–2019 tree mortality data from a bottomland …

Attributing Interannual Variability Of Net Ecosystem Exchange To Modeled Ecological Processes In Forested Wetlands Of Contrasting Stand Age
Wells, J. M., Aguilos, M., Huang, X., Gao, Y., Hou, E., Huang, W., Liao, C., Lin, L., Zhao, R., Qiu, H., Allen, K., King, J., Noormets, A., Jiang, L., Luo, Y.

The drivers of interannual variability (IAV) of net ecosystem exchange (NEE) in forested wetlands are poorly understood, making it difficult to predict changes in atmospheric fluxes in response to land use and climate change. Similarly, these ecosystems demonstrate dynamic physiological and phenological responses to climate over …

The Unabated Atmospheric Carbon Losses In A Drowning Wetland Forest Of North Carolina: A Point Of No Return?
Aguilos, M., Warr, I., Irving, M., Gregg, O., Grady, S., Peele, T., Noormets, A., Sun, G., Liu, N., McNulty, S., Pettay, F., Bhattacharya, S., Penney, S., Kerrigan, M., Yang, L., Mitra, B., Prajapati, P., Minick, K., King, J.

Coastal wetlands provide the unique biogeochemical functions of storing a large fraction of the terrestrial carbon (C) pool and being among the most productive ecosystems in the world. However, coastal wetlands face numerous natural and anthropogenic disturbances that threaten their ecological integrity and C storage potential. To …

Effects Of Spatial Variability And Drainage On Extracellular Enzyme Activity In Coastal Freshwater Forested Wetlands Of Eastern North Carolina, Usa
Minick, K. J., Aguilos, M., Li, X., Mitra, B., Prajapati, P., King, J. S.

Drainage of freshwater wetlands is common in coastal regions, although the effects on microbial extracellular enzyme activity (a key mediator of soil organic matter decomposition) in relation to spatial variability (microtopography and soil depth) are poorly understood. Soils were collected from organic (Oi, Oe, Oa) and mineral (A, …

Large datasets of greenhouse gas and energy surface-atmosphere fluxes measured with the eddy-covariance technique (e.g., FLUXNET2015, AmeriFlux BASE) are widely used to benchmark models and remote-sensing products. This study addresses one of the major challenges facing model-data integration: To what spatial extent do flux measurements …

Effects Of Land-Use Change And Drought On Decadal Evapotranspiration And Water Balance Of Natural And Managed Forested Wetlands Along The Southeastern Us Lower Coastal Plain
Aguilos, M., Sun, G., Noormets, A., Domec, J., McNulty, S., Gavazzi, M., Minick, K., Mitra, B., Prajapati, P., Yang, Y., King, J.

Forested wetlands are important in regulating regional hydrology and climate. However, long-term studies on the hydrologic impacts of converting natural forested wetlands to pine plantations are rare for the southern US. From 2005-2018, we quantified water cycling in two post-harvest and newly-planted loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) …

Wetland Microtopography Alters Response Of Potential Net Co2 And Ch4 Production To Temperature And Moisture: Evidence From A Laboratory Experiment
Minick, K. J., Mitra, B., Li, X., Fischer, M., Aguilos, M., Prajapati, P., Noormets, A., King, J. S.

Coastal wetlands store significant amounts of carbon (C) belowground, which may be altered through effects of rising temperature and changing hydrology on CO2 and CH4 fluxes and related microbial activities. Wetland microtopography (hummock-hollow) also plays a critical role in mediating plant growth, microbial activity, and thus …

Tidal Wetland Gross Primary Production Across The Continental United States, 2000–2019
Feagin, R. A., Forbrich, I., Huff, T. P., Barr, J. G., Ruiz‐Plancarte, J., Fuentes, J. D., Najjar, R. G., Vargas, R., Vázquez‐Lule, A., Windham‐Myers, L., Kroeger, K. D., Ward, E. J., Moore, G. W., Leclerc, M., Krauss, K. W., Stagg, C. L., Alber, M., Knox, S. H., Schäfer, K. V., Bianchi, T. S., Hutchings, J. A., Nahrawi, H., Noormets, A., Mitra, B., Jaimes, A., Hinson, A. L., Bergamaschi, B., King, J. S., Miao, G.

We mapped tidal wetland gross primary production (GPP) with unprecedented detail for multiple wetland types across the continental United States (CONUS) at 16‐day intervals for the years 2000–2019. To accomplish this task, we developed the spatially explicit Blue Carbon (BC) model, which combined tidal wetland cover and field‐based …

Long-Term Carbon Flux And Balance In Managed And Natural Coastal Forested Wetlands Of The Southeastern Usa
Aguilos, M., Mitra, B., Noormets, A., Minick, K., Prajapati, P., Gavazzi, M., Sun, G., McNulty, S., Li, X., Domec, J., Miao, G., King, J.

Wetlands store large carbon (C) stocks and play important roles in biogeochemical C cycling. However, the effects of environmental and anthropogenic pressures on C dynamics in lower coastal plain forested wetlands in the southern U.S. are not well understood. We established four eddy flux stations in two post-harvest and newlyplanted …
