Climate change and coastal ecosystems: Ecological consequences of mangrove expansion into Gulf of Mexico salt marshes

February 19, 2021

Anna Armitage, Professor, Department of Marine Biology, Texas A&M University at Galveston, TX Join us for the live stream Feb 24, 11:45am EST: youtu.be/S9EQvCYJrsE Abstract Climate change is driving landscape-scale shifts in plant species distributions and abundances, subsequently altering ecosystem structure and function. Such shifts are occurring along the Texas Gulf Coast (USA), where increases […]
