An integrative salt marsh conceptual framework for global comparisons

Salt marshes occur globally across climatic and coastal settings, providing key linkages between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, salt marsh science lacks a unifying conceptual framework;...

🚨New paper! We used trophic niche metrics to compare stable isotope data from two seagrass die-offs in Florida Bay to see if and how the food web may have changed between time points. (Spoiler alert: it did!) bit.ly/3xUUrJt @jnelsonPhD @FosterEmelie @wryanjames
