PROJECTED SEA-LEVEL RISE AND HIGH TIDE FLOODING AT BIG CYPRESS NATIONAL
PRESERVE, FLORIDA

IntroductionNational parks and preserves in the South Atlantic-Gulf Region
contain valuable coastal habitats such as tidal wetlands and mangrove forests,
as well as irreplaceable historic buildings and archeological sites located in
low-lying areas. These natural and cultural resources are vulnerable to
accelerated sea-level rise and escalating high tide flooding events. Through a

ASYNCHRONOUS MOVEMENT PATTERNS BETWEEN BREEDING AND STOPOVER LOCATIONS IN A
LONG-DISTANCE MIGRATORY SONGBIRD

The species-specific migratory patterns and strategies of many songbirds remain
unknown or understudied, as research in animal ecology is biased toward the
breeding period, with the fewest studies on the migratory period across taxa.
Identifying large-scale spatiotemporal migratory patterns is challenging, as
individuals within a species may vary in their migratory behavior and
strategies. The Yel

INTERACTIVE EFFECTS OF SALINITY AND HYDROLOGY ON RADIAL GROWTH OF BALD CYPRESS
(TAXODIUM DISTICHUM (L.) RICH.) IN COASTAL LOUISIANA, USA

Tidal freshwater forests are usually located at or above the level of mean high
water. Some Louisiana coastal forests are below mean high water, especially bald
cypress (Taxodium distichum (L.) Rich.) forests because flooding has increased
due to the combined effects of global sea level rise and local subsidence. In
addition, constructed channels from the coast inland act as conduits for
saltwater
