(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2020)Managed dyke realignment (MR) is to be implemented at a 92-hectare restoration site in the Salmon River Estuary to restore tidal wetland habitat and to help mitigate flooding in Truro. This research examines the accuracy ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2023-02-13)This research examines the carbon accumulation potential of salt marshes in the Bay of Fundy by analyzing sediment organic carbon (OC) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) within the root zone of Sporobolus ...
-
(Halifax, N.S. : Saint Mary's University, 2024-08-30)Natural marshes are valued for their biodiversity and ecosystem services. This research quantified the functions of ecosystem services (wave energy dissipation, habitat, primary productivity, blue carbon) of a natural salt ...
