TL;DR: Increased exudation of carbon compounds from roots may provide a mechanism for enhancement of nutrient availability to plants growing in a CO(2)-enriched atmosphere and was investigated in Pinus echinata Mill.

TL;DR: Arboreal ants took 8 times longer to die than terrestrial ants of comparable size and showed a correlation with foraging patterns and desiccation resistance differed between various terrestrial species.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of estuarine landscape structure and scale on their effectiveness for protecting and rehabilitating coastal fisheries resources is explored. And the authors argue that basing restoration solely on site-specific criteria may be significantly inhibiting our ability to re-establish estuarial support function for fisheries resources.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed historical photos of the Skagit River delta marshes (Washington, U.S.) and compared changes in estuarine marsh and tidal channel surface area from 1956-2000 in the Wiley Slough area of the South Fork Skagits delta, and from 1937-2000 on the North Fork delta.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a contrasting depositional model for blind tidal channel origin and development in the Skagit River delta, Washington, USA, showing that as sediments accumulated at the river mouth, vegetation colonization created marsh islands that splintered the river into distributaries, and the marsh islands coalesced when intervening distributary channels gradually narrowed and finally closed at the upstream end to form a blind channel, or at mid-length to form two blind channels.
