On the job, counting grasshoppers in the salt marsh. Sapelo Island GA.
UH scientists Steve and Kalpana at the 2026 DRAGNet workshop. 65 sites to date have implemented the same fertilization and disturbance experiment, and are synthesizing results to see how they differ among sites. Also present, Erika Hersch-Green, fresh off collaborations in Houston with Dr. Crawford.
Happy 250th birthday, America! 🇺🇸 Have a wonderful and safe Independence Day, Coogs!

Variable trait responses to rapid sea level rise in a foundational grass across a coastal marsh landscape
Substantial spatial variability in salt marsh plant trait responses to changing abiotic conditions emphasizes the value of taking a landscape perspective when investigating trends in plant traits.

Steve Pennings@stevenpennings.bsky.social · 6mo agoThe non-native mangrove Sonneratia is invading wetlands in China that are dominated by the native mangrove Avicennia and non-native grass Spartina. Mangrove traits change across the intertidal, helping to explain why Sonneratia is invasive and Avicennia not. academic.oup.com/jpe/article/...
