The National Science Foundation Division of Environmental Biology awarded $350,698 under the Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) federal grant program to The Marine Biological Laboratory of Woods Hole, Falmouth, Massachusetts. This three-year Project Grant will support collaborative research quantifying the effects of different nitrogen forms on salt marsh resilience to environmental change. Specifically, the research team will conduct paired nutrient enrichment experiments across two coastal locations to measure how varying concentrations of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen alter the coupled plant-microbe system response and carbon/nitrogen cycling. Additional experiments will assess how these responses vary under different flooding regimes. Greenhouse experiments will provide data on population-specific uptake rates of the two nitrogen forms by cordgrass in the absence of sediment microbes. Taken together, this work will mechanistically address how different nitrogen forms and plant genetic variation impact marsh ability to store carbon and keep pace with sea-level rise. Findings will be incorporated into a modeling framework to help resource managers predict marsh response to combined nutrient loading and sea-level rise effects.
