A natural history model of New England salt marsh die-off.
TL;DR: A conceptual model of die-offs through recovery progression is presented to provide managers and landowners with a diagnostic tool for identifying marsh die-off and recovery status and illustrates the fundamental importance of long-term, natural history-based investigations of ecosystem dynamics in informing ecology, conservation, and management practices.
Consumer-controlled community states on gulf of maine
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the alternative community state hypothesis on rocky shores on the open coast of Maine and found that community states would be less deterministic due to reduced consumer pressure and more stochastic flow patterns.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is suggested that consumer density and identity are key in regulating both plant and animal community recovery and that physical conditions can determine the functional forms of these consumer effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facilitative and competitive interaction components among New England salt marsh plants
TL;DR: The results indicate that matrix forming grasses and rushes have important, yet largely redundant, positive net effects on Aster performance across its life cycle.
