▼ Filter feeding freshwater mussels (order Unionoida) fulfill an important ecological niche, but a suite of anthropogenic perturbations have made them the most imperiled faunal group in North America. Threats to mussels include habitat degradation, pollution, and alterations to natural flow regimes. The Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River Basin is a watershed under increasing pressure from human populations and is also home to a diverse assemblage of aquatic organisms including five federally listed mussel species. The federal recovery plan for these species outlines specific research objectives that will better equip scientists and managers with the necessary tools to protect and restore populations of these species. This dissertation has focused on addressing some of these critical data gaps by investigating the ecological relevance of the sodium chloride glochidia viability test, conducting host determination trials for the Purple Bankclimber mussel (Elliptoideus sloatianus), and developing nonlethal methods for assessing the physiological response of mussels to various stress events. Freshwater mussels are characterized by a unique lifecycle in which the glochidia larvae must attach to a vertebrate host to metamorphose into a juvenile mussel. This larval stage is used in toxicity testing to evaluate the effects of contaminants on freshwater mussels and for the derivation of water quality criteria. My results indicated that the viability of glochidia as measured by the sodium chloride test is an ecologically relevant measure of the health of glochidia. The discovery of Gulf Sturgeon (Acipenser oxyrinchus desotoi) as the primary hosts for Purple Bankclimber mussels has supplied important information for the preservation and management of wild mussel populations as well as providing the necessary data to initiate captive propagation. Changes in tissue glycogen and hemolymph chemistry parameters are potential biomarkers for monitoring stress in freshwater mussels. The factors of discharge, size, sex, and species were most commonly found to affect the biological responses in our models and we recommend that future research into the effects of drought and stress should include the use of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, bicarbonate, and calcium. Combined, these data will allow scientists and managers alike to advance the conservation of these intriguing and ecologically important animals.

▼ Aquatic habitats are among the world’s most valuable ecosystems, including rivers and floodplains. Humans have significantly influenced these ecosystems the world over, particularly in the form of river regulation via dams. The objective of this dissertation is to document effects of river regulation in rivers and floodplains of the southeastern United States. Specifically, I focused on the effects of river regulation on macroinvertebrate dynamics in the Chattahoochee, Altamaha, and Savannah Rivers (Georgia). Direct effects of annual and daily flow variation on the macroinvertebrate communities of the Chattahoochee River below Buford Dam were investigated over an 11 year period. In addition, to assess indirect effects of river regulation, I investigated populations of predaceous diving beetles (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae: Neoporus) on the floodplains of the regulated Savannah River and the unregulated Altamaha River. The results from my research indicate significant effects of regulation within the river channel and across the floodplains. Shifts in macroinvertebrate community assemblages were detected between high- and low-flow years on the Chattahoochee, and changes to the overall community occurred over the length of the study area, with improved biological metric scores (H’, EPT richness, and sensitive taxa richness) as distance from the dam increased. On floodplains, Neoporus beetles exhibited significant sympatry but were overall negatively affected regarding their distribution and propensity for flight as a result of river regulation. With little overbank flooding in the regulated system, Neoporus were more likely to be restricted to permanent waters on the floodplain and were less likely to disperse via flight than populations in the unregulated system. These results suggest a need for altered river management strategies where ecosystem integrity is taken into account in addition to human needs. River management strategies should be developed in the context of climate change and increasing pressures on water resources.

▼ The unimpaired flow data was developed to populate the HEC-5, ACF-STELLA, and more recently Res-Sim models for 23 local inflows at control points throughout the Apalachicola Chattahoochee Flint (ACF) watershed. Unimpaired flows are created when the influence of human regulation and withdrawals are removed from historical streamflow gauge records. Regionally accumulated unimpaired inflows or unimpaired local incremental inflows were developed and routed together through a model in the main channels to form the main channel unimpaired flows. The UIFs are used as inputs into several models where they are routed through a series of diversions, consumption, and water control structure releases. Simulations of policies on the ACF can then be conducted for a variety of operations. This type of model has been used to analyze the impacts of various governance scenarios on the ACF basin and other basins throughout the nation. The unimpaired flows must accurately represent the flows that would have occurred historically without the influence of human consumption and routing throughout the watershed. Only when the unimpaired flows resemble natural flows can policies be accurately evaluated. Throughout the development of the ACF-STELLA model however, there has been some speculation as to the accuracy of the validation and thus sheds uncertainty on the entire modeling process. This observation leads to the questionability of the model to accurately model the processes within the basin. One method to build confidence in the underlying dataset is to compare the unimpaired flow to other tributaries that have not been affected substantially by anthropogenic influences. The Hydroclimatic Data Network (HCDN) was constructed to give such independent streamflow datasets for comparison with climate and other streamflow datasets. The unimpaired flows were compared with the HCDN datasets and through both correlation and spectral analysis confidence was built for local inflows into the model. From this analysis, it was determined that 10 of the 23 local inflows have been given confidence while 4 local flows are considered questionable. Additionally, the ACF-STELLA model was updated to represent current operations in the watershed. Metrics were created to gauge the relative success of the operations plan. The RIOP operations were the most conservative during the entire time period of modeling as well as during the three selected droughts. Finally, climate variability was studied through a series of statistical tests as well as direct correlation with sea surface temperatures. The results indicated that sea surface temperatures have a significant correlation at the southern end of the basin with streamflow.

Summary: Seagrasses are important foundation species in coastal ecosystems. Genetic diversity of seagrasses can influence a number of ecological factors including, but not limited to, disturbance resistance and resilience. Seagrasses in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL), Florida are considered to be highly disturbed due to frequent events, like algal blooms, that impair water quality, reducing available light for seagrass growth. Halodule wrightii is a dominant seagrass throughout the IRL, but its genetic diversity has only been quantified in a few Gulf of Mexico and Florida Bay populations and little is known about its potential ecological consequences. I quantified the genetic variation of H. wrightii using microsatellite markers in the southern IRL to determine: (i) how disturbance history influenced genetic diversity, (ii) if morphology of clones was, in part, genetically controlled and related to disturbance history, and (iii) if genotypes showed phenotypic plasticity in response to disturbances. In the IRL, H. wrightii populations exhibited moderate genetic diversity that varied with disturbance history. The disturbance history of a population was classified by the variance in the percent occurrence of H. wrightii over a 16-year period. Genotypic richness and clonal diversity of H. wrightii increased with increasing disturbance histories. Other genetic diversity measures (e.g., allelic richness, observed heterozygosity) did not change with disturbance history. These findings suggest that impacts to seagrass coverage over time can change the genotypic composition of populations. When different genotypes of H. wrightii were grown in a common garden, differences in leaf characteristics among genotypes provided evidence that morphological trait variation is, in part, explained by genetic variance. The disturbance history of genotypes did not directly affect morphological traits. However, significant genotype x site (within disturbance history) interactions found greater variation in shoot density and below ground traits of H. wrightii genotypes from sites of intermediate disturbance history. Traits of H. wrightii were shown to be phenotypically plastic. Significant genotype x environment interactions for shoot density and height demonstrated that genotypes responded differently by increasing, decreasing, and not changing sizes in response to light reduction. Genetic diversity of H. wrightii has strong implications for ecological function in coastal communities.

▼ Several river basins in the world are faced with growing water scarcity and water use conflicts attributed to increasing water demand and competition among users, climate change and variability, and environmental degradation. Addressing these challenges necessitates shifting from the traditional uncoordinated sectoral approach to more integrated and fully participatory approaches supported by credible information generated by reliable and robust technical tools. Combining engineering, economics and hydroclimatological science, hydro-economic tools are well suited to provide reliable and impartial technical information that can support multi stakeholder negotiation and decision making processes in a river basin. This research develops and applies a detailed hydro-economic model to support multi-objective water resources assessments. The model supports integrated assessments of physical and economic impacts of changes in water demand, climate conditions, water resources management objectives and policies, and other system constraints on a basin's water resources. The main contribution of this research is the systematic coupling of detailed water resources and economic assessment models that are capable of (a) representing complex physical system characteristics and constraints; (b) simulating system operation at diverse temporal and spatial scales; and (c) representing water-based economic production processes at a basin scale. The research integrates a wide range of potential climate change impacts into the hydro-economic modeling framework through consideration of multiple future climate change scenarios from 13 Global Circulation Models under the medium and high emission projection scenarios. Economic uncertainty is characterized through conjunctive use of Monte Carlo simulation and Geometric Brownian Motion techniques to generate multiple forecast traces of important economic parameters. The model is applied to the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint River basin in the southeast USA as a case study.

▼ Anadromous river herring, Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and Blueback Herring A. aestivalis, were valuable fisheries that declined to such an extent that moratoria were established throughout much of their range, including all of the Chesapeake Bay. The presumptive causes of decline are overfishing and habitat degradation. The goals of this research were to examine the life history traits of river herring in Potomac River tributaries and determine if the tributaries serve as successful spawning and nursery habitats after years of habitat alterations. A stage-based model of populations in Potomac River tributaries was developed with site-specific growth rates, mortality rates, and maturity schedules. Adults were collected in Pohick Creek, Accotink Creek, and Cameron Run, juveniles in Gunston Cove and Hunting Creek, and larvae in all locations. Otoliths were extracted to estimate age (adults in years and young-of-year (YOY) in days) and scales were collected from adults to estimate spawning age. Of the eight growth models tested, the best-fit model was the logistic for adults and the von Bertalanffy for YOY; however best- and worst-fit models were <2% different. Adult females grew faster, larger, and matured earlier than males for both species. Growth differed between years for both species of YOY, and between monthly cohorts for Blueback Herring YOY. Mortality was more variable for Alewife than for Blueback Herring. The model was a good fit for YOY Alewife but not for Blueback Herring. The model predicted that year class strength was variable for both species, with surviving juveniles replacing 13.8%, 130.4%, and 6.5% of spawning Alewife, and 1.8%, 0.5%, and 0.4% of adult Blueback Herring each year from 2013 to 2015. However, the models were sensitive to the juvenile mortality rate and both populations were increasing when lower juvenile mortality rates, similar to other Virginia rivers, were utilized. This dissertation provides needed life history characteristics for all stages of development for river herring found in Potomac River tributaries.

▼ The pattern and process of wetland loss in coastal Louisiana has the potential to influence the distribution and abundance of fishes and macroinvertebrates that utilize inshore estuarine habitat as nurseries during their early life histories. Current management plans designed to stabilize marsh elevations, such as freshwater diversions, may also influence the distribution and abundance of estuarine-dependent nekton. Given the importance of nursery function of inshore estuaries in coastal Louisiana, it is of interest to explore the response of estuarine-dependent organisms to environmental gradients. To this end I examined the ecology of two sympatric tonguefishes, the blackcheek tonguefish (Symphurus plagiusa) and the offshore tonguefish (S. civitatium), in coastal Louisiana. Both species are common transients, occupying estuarine waters from post-settlement to early adulthood. Examination of patterns of resource utilization within the Barataria study area identified significant differences between species with respect to microhabitat selection. Offshore tonguefish were generally more abundant than blackcheek tonguefish in the Barataria study area. Blackcheek tonguefish used lower salinities, higher temperatures, finer substrates, shallower depths, and were found closer to shore than offshore tonguefish. Ontogenetic shifts in resource utilization were also evident for both species; larger individuals typically utilized warmer waters with lower dissolved oxygen concentrations and higher salinities, and were collected farther from shore in deeper water over coarser substrates. Blackcheek tonguefish were abundant along the marsh edge while offshore tonguefish were rare, indicating the apparent avoidance of marsh-edge habitat by offshore tonguefish. In a similar study conducted in the Vermilion system, blackcheek tonguefish were more abundant than offshore tonguefish, indicating that salinity can substantially alter the distribution and abundance of these tonguefishes. Examination of growth rates within the Barataria system indicated that offshore tonguefish grew at a significantly higher rate than did blackcheek tonguefish. Growth of both species was significantly affected by various biotic and abiotic factors. Qualitative loop analyses indicate that tonguefish abundances are potentially affected by the input of nutrients, changes in emergent marsh habitat, and alterations in salinity. Environmental changes associated with wetland loss and associated management alternatives have the potential to affect these sympatric tonguefishes as well as other estuarine-dependent species.

▼ The Red River along the Texas-Oklahoma border provides ideal Interior Least Tern (Sterna antillarium athalassos) habitat because of its wide river channel with large, open sandbars that are sparsely vegetated and close to aquatic food sources. Over the last century, tern sandbar nesting habitat along the Red River has been lost or gained in response to water resource projects, dams, reservoirs, floods, droughts, land cover changes, and invasive vegetation. This projects presents the spatial and temporal changes in tern sandbar habitat on a 170-km reach of the Red River below Denison Dam that have occurred since the 1890s. Specifically, this project investigates how the hydrology, land cover, sediment budget, channel geometry, sandbar area, and suitable tern habitat area has changed from the late 1890s to 2014. Historical surveys and aerial photography were used to map floodplain land cover and calculate channel geometry and sandbar area. Suitable tern sandbar habitat was delineated based on three main criteria: minimum distance of 76-m from tall trees or shrubs, no vegetation on sandbar, and minimum distance of 60-m from channel margins. Streamflow and precipitation data from this time period were used to assess hydrology changes, and sediment yield estimates were gathered from previous studies and compared to suspend-sediment gage information within the study area. Sandbar area was variable over the 118-year timeline, tending to increase when channel width and specific stream power increased. Suitable tern sandbar habitat overall decreased by about 0.7%, largely due to decrease in channel width and increase in vegetated sandbar area. Lack of high flows after the completion of Denison Dam decreased specific stream power, allowing vegetation to encroach on sandbars, decreasing both channel width and suitable habitat area. These interrelationships between hydrology, land cover, sediment, channel geometry, sandbar area, and suitable tern sandbar habitat area will help inform future management policies for the Red River, as well as other threatened riparian bird species.

▼ This study examines the ecological effects of sea-level rise on shorezone in the Neuse River estuary and western Pamlico Sound, NC. Shorezone is defined here in an ecohydrological context as the area of wetland that extends from an estuarine shoreline landward to where the hydrologic influence of sea level diminishes and terrestrial hydrology dominates. The thesis is structured into three chapters, each highlighting a particular scale of analysis (e.g., landscape, shorezone, and plant community). Â Â At the landscape scale, the first chapter investigates geomorphology, hypsography, wetland types, and average landscape slope of successive interstream divide units that are submerging relative to rising sea level. A geographic information system (GIS) was used to identify differences between units and translate them into a space-for-time framework consisting of four temporal stages of shorezone transgression: early - upstream migration, intermediate - non-migration, late - over-flat migration, and terminal - non-migration. The framework is intended to provide a better understanding of processes that have led to the current position of shorezones and to anticipate where effects of rising sea level will be the greatest.Â Â In the second chapter, species composition and abundance, soil properties and elevation were analyzed at a plant community scale. Communities were arranged into a hierarchical classification according to hydrogeomorphic wetland type (landscape scale), followed by cover type (shorezone scale), and then community type (plant community scale). A detrended correspondence analysis ordination was performed to analyze samples across an apparent salinity gradient. Analyses revealed a strong relationship between soil porewater salinity and the sequence and distance at which plant communities occur between the shoreline and the landward margin of shorezone. The results suggest that these irregularly flooded shorezones simultaneously exhibit mosaic and zonal patterns of vegetation. Â Â At the shorezone scale, changes in cover type over time were estimated for an interstream divide unit in the outer estuary. Cover type classes were ranked to detect the extent, direction (e.g., landward vs. seaward migration), and magnitude (e.g., differences in rank) of vegetation change between 1958 and 1998 using the GIS to analyze aerial photographs. Results show that seaward migration of cover types (517 ha) is more than twice that of landward migration (234 ha). This occurs in spite of an estimated 249 ha landward expansion of shorezone (i.e., transgression) caused by an approximate 15 cm rise in local sea level over the 40 yr study period. This information suggests that at shorter temporal scales, landward migration of shorezone vegetation is not aligned with sea-level rise.Â Â Advisors/Committee Members: Brinson, Mark M. (advisor).

▼ Sea level rise and changing storm frequency and intensity resulting from climate change create tremendous amounts of uncertainty for coastal species. Intertidal species may be especially affected since they are dependent on daily inundation and exposure. The eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica is an economically and biologically important sessile intertidal species ranging from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Declines and changes in distribution of oyster populations has forced commercial harvesting to spread from subtidal to intertidal reefs. We investigated the potential responses of intertidal C. virginica to sea level rise, and the response of larval settlement to sedimentation which is likely to increase with higher water levels and storm frequency. Inundation was used as a proxy for sea level rise. We hypothesized four possible outcomes for intertidal oyster reefs as a result of changes in inundation due to sea level rise: (a) intertidal reefs become subtidal and remain in place, (b) intertidal reefs will be lost, (c) intertidal reefs migrate shoreward upslope and remain intertidal, and (d) intertidal reefs will grow in elevation and remain intertidal. To test the plausibility of these four outcomes, oyster ladders were placed at two sites within Apalachicola Bay, Florida, USA. Ladders supported oyster recruitment mats at five heights within the range of intertidal elevations. The bottom-most mat was placed near mean low tide, and the top mat near mean high tide to investigate the effect of tidal inundation time on C. virginica. Sediment traps were attached to ladders with openings at equal elevation to the oyster mats. Ladders were deployed for one year starting in June 2012, and again in June 2013, during peak oyster recruitment season. Monthly for six months during year one, sediment was collected from traps, dried to constant weight and weighed to obtain a monthly average for total sediment at each elevation. At the end of one year, oyster mats were collected from the field and examined for the following responses: live oyster density, mean oyster shell length of live oysters, mean oyster shell angle of growth relative to the benthos, and mean number of sessile competitors. We used AICc to identify the most plausible models using elevation, site, and year as independent variables. Oyster density peaked at intermediate inundation at both sites (maximum 1740 oysters per m2), it decreased slightly at the mean low tide, and sharply at the mean high tide. This response varied between years and sites. Mean oyster shell length peaked near mean low tide (6.7 cm), and decreased with increasing elevation. It varied between years and sites. Oyster shell angle of growth relative to the benthos showed a quadratic response for elevation; site but not year affected this response. Sessile competitor density also showed a quadratic response for elevation and varied between sites and years. Barnacles were the primary spatial competitor reaching densities of up to 28,328 barnacles per m2. Total monthly sedimentation… Advisors/Committee Members: Walters, Linda J..

▼ This thesis covers tidal propagation through networks of channels. Such networks are widespread and are often subject to discordant human and natural interests. First, the effect of a secondary channel on the tides in a main channel is explained with the use of an idealized model and the responsible physical mechanism is uncovered. The secondary channel can both enhance as well as dampen the tide in the landward part of the main channel, depending on its position. Second, it is investigated what the effects of a secondary channel are on nonlinear tidal characteristics such as tidal range and flood-to-ebb ratio. All tidal constituents are affected through the same physical mechanism, which indicates that the secondary channel locally produces a modification to the tide. This modifying wave subsequently propagates through the main channel. Third, the effect of changes in river discharge and changes to the geometry of a tidal network are investigated. The Yangtze Estuary is used as an example, as this is a characteristic tidal network that experiences strong fluctuations in river discharge and has been subject to a manmade alteration of the geometry. Higher river discharge results in stronger tidal damping of the semi-diurnal tide. Quarter diurnal tides are enhanced due to an enhanced interaction of the semi-diurnal tide and the residual current through quadratic bottom stress. The changes in the geometry of the Yangtze Estuary resulted in a reduction of net water transport through the affected channel of the network, due to a local decrease in river induced transport and stronger landward tidally induced net water transport. Finally, the effect of dissipation of momentum on tidal flats on tidal velocities is investigated, as well as the effect of exchanging water over a tidal flat between different channels on tidal velocities. Tidal flat area, tidal flat cross-sectional profile and the position of the tidal flats along the channel are important parameters that determine how the momentum sink mechanism influences the tidal velocities, however, the overall effect of momentum sink is small. Exchange of water between channels was modeled for various heights of the connecting tidal flat, which allowed for varying durations of exchange between the channels. Lower levels of the tidal flat tend to enhance the flood-to-ebb velocity ratio, meaning flood dominant situations become more flood dominant and ebb dominant situations become more ebb dominant.

▼ An observational study was conducted from 2013 to 2016 to investigate suspended-sediment transport processes in the stratified Connecticut River estuary. Time-series measurements of velocity and suspended-sediment concentration from the upper estuary were analyzed to determine the relative importance of different processes driving sediment flux under highly-variable river discharge. Results indicate that under high discharge the salt intrusion is forced towards the mouth causing large seaward sediment fluxes throughout the water column. Seaward fluxes are dominated by mean advection, with some contribution due to tidal pumping. Under low discharge the salt intrusion extends to the upper estuary, advancing as a bottom salinity front during each flood tide. Stratification and strong velocity shear during the ebb tide cause the upper and lower water column to become dynamically decoupled. Sediment flux near the bed is landward throughout the tidal cycle despite the net seaward depth-integrated flux, and is almost fully attributed to the mean estuarine circulation. River discharge is the primary factor affecting the magnitude and direction of sediment flux because of its high variability and direct connection to the salt-wedge dynamics. A generalized three-phase conceptual model describes suspended-sediment transport in shallow, stratified estuaries with low trapping efficiencies. First, fine sediment bypasses the estuary during high river flows and exports to the coastal ocean where a portion of this sediment is temporarily deposited outside the mouth. Second, during low discharge offshore mud deposits are reworked by wave- and tidally-driven currents and some sediment is advected back into the estuary with the advancing salt intrusion that transports sediment landward. Third, spatial salinity gradients facilitate sediment transport from the main channel to channel margins, marshes and off-river coves where it is retained and deposited long-term, as demonstrated in prior studies. This re-introduction and trapping of recycled sediment under low-discharge conditions can have important implications for pollutant transport, shoaling of navigation channels and harbors, and salt marsh accretion in the face of rising sea levels.

▼ Coastal ecosystems provide a wide range of services including protecting the mainland from the destructive effects of storms, nutrient cycling, water filtration, nurseries for fish and crustaceans, and carbon sequestration. These zones are threatened by human impacts and climate change through more frequent intense storms and sea level rise with a projected increase of up to 16 mm/yr for the last two decades of the 21st century. However, it is not fully understood what mechanisms control the formation and degradation of these landforms, and determine their resilience to environmental change. In this work, I highlight the role of various physical characteristics and environmental parameters that contribute to the formation and stability of coastal environments. First, I develop and use remote sensing analyses to quantitatively characterize coastal dune eco-topographic patterns by simultaneously identifying the spatial distribution of topographic elevation and vegetation biomass in order to understand the coupled dynamics of vegetation and coastal dunes. LiDAR-derived leaf area index and hyperspectral-derived normalized difference vegetation index patterns yield vegetation distributions at the whole-system scale which are in agreement with each other and with field observations. LiDAR-derived concurrent quantifications of biomass and topography show that plants more favorably develop on the landward side of the foredune crest and that the foredune crestline marks the position of an ecotone, which is interpreted as the result of a sheltering effect sharply changing local environmental conditions. The findings reveal that the position of the foredune crestline is a chief ecomorphodynamic feature resulting from the two-way interaction between vegetation and topography. Next, to shed light on the vertical depositional dynamics of salt marshes in response to sea level rise, I investigate the hypothesis that competing effects between biomass production and aeration/decomposition determine an approximately spatially constant contribution of soil organic matter (SOM) to total accretion. I use concurrent observations of SOM and decomposition rates from marshes in North Carolina. The results are coherent with the notion that SOM does not significantly vary in space and suggest that this may be the result of an at least partial compensation of opposing trends in biomass productivity and decomposed organic matter. The analyses show that deeper soil layers are characterized by lower decomposition rates and higher stabilization factors than shallower layers, likely because of differences in inundation duration. However, overall, decomposition processes are sufficiently rapid that the labile material in the fresh biomass is completely decomposed before it can be buried and stabilized. The findings point to the importance of the fraction of initially refractory material and of the stabilization processes in determining the final distribution of SOM within the soil column. Finally, I develop a process-based model… Advisors/Committee Members: Marani, Marco (advisor).

▼ This dissertation examines the paleoecological records from the Shark River Estuary in the southwestern part of the Everglades National Park (ENP), Florida, with primary goal of reconstructing the Holocene history of the coastal mangrove ecosystem in the Florida Coastal Everglades. Roughly 15 meters of sediments were collected from 4 study sites and subjected to loss-on ignition, palynological, and X-ray fluorescence analyses. According to the literature, the earliest communities of Rhizophora mangle (red mangrove) occurred prior to 8,000 cal yr BP in the south-central area of the Belize Barrier Reef Platform. Between 7,000 and 5,000 cal yr BP, Rhizophora was established in the Caribbean coast of South America and Central America. With warmer winter sea-surface temperature and a decreased rate of sea-level rise between 5,000 and 3,000 cal yr BP, Rhizophora eventually colonized the coastlines of the Yucatan, South Florida, and Bermuda. Statistical analysis of 25 modern pollen spectra from the Everglades National Park shows that different wetland sub-environments in the Everglades can be identified based on their palynological signature. Accordingly, palynological data from sediment cores can be used to accurately reconstruct past wetland responses to a variety of environmental and climatic changes in the Everglades. Multi-proxy analyses of sediment cores from four study sites along the Shark River Estuary reveal that the mid-Holocene sea-level rise is the dominant cause of vegetation change. The Shark River Estuary underwent three major transformations during the last six millennia: (1) Short-hydroperiod marl prairies were progressively replaced by long hydroperiod prairies and sloughs from ¡5,700 to 3,800 cal yr BP. (2) Long hydroperiod prairies and sloughs were replaced by brackish marsh from 3,800 to 2,000 cal yr BP. (3) A significant expansion of mangroves occurred over the last 2,000 years. In addition to Hurricane Wilma in 2005, the southwestern Everglades were directly impacted by at least six major hurricanes at ~3,000, 1,700, 950, 580, 350, and 120 cal yr BP. At ~1,100 cal yr BP, as the shoreline became stabilized, a mixed mangrove forest was formed at the mouth of the Shark River.

▼ Mixing of nutrient rich and often polluted freshwater with coastal seawater at estuaries forms a unique and dynamic environment, which not only supports high primary production, but also the high metabolism of diverse microorganisms. Microbes in the estuary ecosystems are the most important drivers of biogeochemical cycling, since they are responsible for the re-mineralization of river discharged organic matter and the transfer of discharged nutrients to higher trophic levels. With the increasing human activities, massive anthropogenic pollutants are inputted into the river and deposited in the estuary. Some of the pollutants, including industrial and domestic waste, are very difficult to be degraded and will have long-term effects to the estuary ecosystem. However, there is limited genomic information about the microorganisms inhabited in heavily polluted estuaries. We applied metagenomic approach and isotopic measurement to investigate the inputted pollutants’ influence on the genetic changes of the estuary inhabited microorganisms. The microbial community structure was investigated through the extracted and annotated SSU rRNA genes. Besides, the distribution of microbial metabolic categories was also investigated through the annotation of the predicted functional genes. Furthermore, the draft genomes of bacteria and ammonia oxidation archaea were reconstructed from the metagenomic data, and the unique and horizontally transferred genes in them were further identified and validated. Through these approaches, we found that the sulfate reduction metabolism was preferred by the estuary inhabited microorganisms in order to resist the fluctuated oxygen concentration. The horizontally transferred antibiotic and metal resistance genes reflect the adaptation strategy used by the microorganisms in the severely polluted environments. We also found that the ammonia-oxidizing archaea were very abundant across the bottom layer of the estuary. Nearly all ammonia-oxidizing genes in the bottom layer were contributed by archaea, and the reconstructed ammonia-oxidizing archaeal genomes were very close to the genome of an isolated pelagic archaea, SPOT01. However, the encoding genes between these two genomes are very different. This could be used to further explain the genomic difference between pelagic and coastal archaeal genomes. Overall, these studies provide new insights into the composition, diversity and function of microorganisms inhibited in heavily polluted estuaries and extend our knowledge about the genomic change and evolution of microorganisms to such dynamic and harsh environment.
