Waquoit Bay and sites in New York and New Jersey has shown that plant communities in areas where forest is transitioning to marsh differ in species composition between sites, and that plant ability to survive tidal flooding also differs between sites. Find
out what factors stress and shape plant communities in forest-marsh transition areas.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: "Arial", sans-serif; font-size: 9pt; color: rgb(48, 48, 48);">Salt marshes are experiencing accelerated changes due to sea level rise and other disturbances, which is causing extensive habitat loss. Areas of standing water on the
marsh platform cause vegetation death and elevation loss. This has potential implications for important ecosystem services such as carbon and nitrogen cycling. In December 2023, we installed runnels, a restoration tool to help drain standing water and encourage
revegetation and elevation gain in the marshes in the South Cape Beach area. In the coming years, we will monitor the effectiveness of the runnels.</span></p>
