Influence of invasive Spartina growth stages on associated macrofaunal communities (2007, background): “alterniflora meadows in North Carolina (Linthurst and Seneca 1980), Louisiana (Webb et al. 1995; McKee et al. 2004), New York (Hartig et al.”
Large-scale dieback of mangroves in Australia’s Gulf of Carpentaria: a severe ecosystem response, coincidental with an unusually extreme weather event (2017, background): “Rainfall-dominated saltmarsh dieback at, or beyond, higher latitudinal limits of mangroves linked to drought, decreasing rainfall and sea level changes (McKee et al. 2004; Silliman et al. 2005).”
Wetlands and global climate change: the role of wetland restoration in a changing world (2009, background): “McKee et al. (2004) suggests that increases in temperature and decreases in rainfall associated with climate change may dramatically affect tidal marshes.”
Where temperate meets tropical: multi‐factorial effects of elevated CO2, nitrogen enrichment, and competition on a mangrove‐salt marsh community (2008, background): “Future work should determine whether CO2 can modify relative tolerance of mangrove and salt marsh species to salinity or flooding stress (Rozema et al., 1991; Ball et al., 1997), as well as to chilling temperatures (McMillan & Sherrod, 1986) or drought (McKee et al., 2004).”
