Vegetational composition and the origin of surface water were studied during 2007 and 2008 at two small (<3 ha) wetlands in Ellis County in west central Kansas. Methods used to analyze plant community composition included line transects, point...
With the loss and degradation of wetlands in some areas of the Prairie Pothole Region (PPR) reaching 80-90%, it is critical that resource managers ensure that the habitat that is put back on the landscape is as high quality as possible. Resource...
Invasion by nonnative plants is particularly prevalent in wetlands. While the ecological patterns in wetland plants are well known, it is less well known how flooding-related soil conditions influence the physiological success of introduced species...
Texas horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum) populations have been in steady decline over the past twenty years due to habitat loss, pesticide use, the pet trade, and invasion of the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta). At Aransas National...
Understanding the role of an organism in an ecosystem involves understanding different aspects of their ecology, which is particularly true for species that are in danger of extinction due to habitat loss and fragmentation. The losses of amphibians...
A playa wetland’s ability to retain moisture and water has the greatest influence on the ecological and hydrological functionality of the playa. In this project, Landsat TM/ETM+ satellite imagery was analyzed to determine whether it could be used...
Slate Creek Wetland is a natural saline wetland covering about 480 ha in southeastern Sumner County, Kansas. Physiographically, it lies on the border between the Great Bend lowlands and the Wellington lowlands which are subdivisions of the Arkansas...
