Celebrating the Bay's stunning marshes & wetlands on this #WorldWetlandsDay

Sadly, most of the Bay's historic #wetlands have been destroyed - which is why it's so important to preserve and protect the ones we have left!

Ghost forests are growing due to #sealevelrise
As trees choked by #saltwater die along low-lying coasts, #marshes may move in. Arboreal graveyards are showing up in places where the land slopes gently into the ocean and where salty water increasingly encroaches. Along the United States’ East Coast, in pockets of the West Coast, and elsewhere, saltier soils have killed hundreds of thousands of acres of trees, leaving behind woody skeletons typically surrounded by #marsh.

Cyclopes inhabit strange, scary, inaccessible places – ... Read more

So, Caly the wiener dog had an appointment with a hairdresser. Since it takes a lot of time to further beautify the already beautiful wire-haired dachshund, Janez had some time on his hands – it was a windy late afternoon, and Ljubljana Marshes were calling.

"But who will reveal to our waking ken, The forms that swim and the shapes that creep, Under the waters of sleep? And I would I could know what swimmeth below when the tide comes in...” The Marshes of Glynn by Sidney Lanier - 1878. 📷 from Library of Congress #SwampSunday #Marshes

Accurate estimation of #VegetationBiomass is a critical component for estimating #TerrestrialEcosystem #CarbonStocks, but research on biomass estimation for #Herbaceous #Marshes remains limited. Thus, Xianglong Jin et al. explored the #AllometricEquations for estimating above- and below-ground biomass of #Reed (#PhragmitesAustralis) marshes.
