Root oxygen mitigates methane fluxes in tropical peatlands
Tropical peatlands are a globally important source of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Vegetation is critical in regulating fluxes, providing a conduit for emissions and regular carbon inputs. However, plant roots also release oxygen, which might mitigate methane efflux through oxidation prior to emission from the peat surface. Here we show, using in situ mesocosms, that root exclusion can reduce methane fluxes by a maximum of 92% depending on s…
Testing the Utility of Geochemical Proxies to Reconstruct Holocene Coastal Environments and Relative Sea Level
On low-lying, tropical and sub-tropical coastlines freshwater marshes may be replaced by salt-tolerant \nmangroves in response to relative sea-level rise. Pollen analysis of radiocarbon-dated sediment cores \nshowed that such a change occurred in Hungry Bay, Bermuda during the late Holocene. This well-established paleoenvironmental trajectory provides an opportunity to explore if geochemical proxies (bulk-sediment δ13C and Rock-Eval pyrolysis) ca…

Relative sea-level trends in New York City during the past 1500 years
New York City (NYC) is threatened by 21st-century relative sea-level (RSL) rise because it will experience a trend that exceeds the global mean and has high concentrations of low-lying infrastructure and socioeconomic activity. To provide a long-term context for anticipated trends, we reconstructed RSL change during the past ~1500 years using a core of salt-marsh sediment from Pelham Bay in The Bronx. Foraminifera and bulk-sediment δ 13 C values …
Stable carbon isotopes as potential sea-level indicators in salt marshes, North Carolina, USA
We compared the use of δ 13 C values and C:N ratios from salt-marsh sediments to reconstruct relative sea level (RSL) with an established approach using foraminifera. Analysis of bulk-organic sediment and plant samples collected along transects at two sites in North Carolina, USA demonstrates that sediment δ 13 C values can be used to distinguish between Spartina alterniflora-dominated low marsh (C photosynthetic pathway, δ 13 C values from —17.6…
