Case Study |
Case Study: Begin planning early for next steps
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaborative science projects are designed to inform and catalyze action, but often those impacts do not develop until after a grant ends. Two project teams working with New England reserves found different ways to support the work of their partners after their grants ended.

Case Study: Resolving Conflict
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaboration with diverse team members and stakeholders can sometimes result in disagreements or contention, as was the experience of the New England Climate Adaptation Project, a regional initiative involving the four New England reserves.

Case study: Including community leaders on the team
GUIDE CASE STUDY: To be effective, collaborative project teams must include the right skill sets, but it’s also important to include team members who have established relationships with or access to your project’s intended users.

Evaluating Thin-Layer Sediment Placement as a Tool for Enhancing Tidal Marsh Resilience: a Coordinated Experiment Across Eight US National Estuarine Research Reserves
Abstract

Thin-layer sediment placement (TLP) is a promising management tool for enhancing tidal marsh resilience to rising seas.

Soil Organic Carbon Development and Turnover in Natural and Disturbed Salt Marsh Environments

This 2021 article which appeared in Geophysical Research Letters describes a study that took a novel approach to characterize soil organic carbon accumulation supporting marsh elevation maintenance as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project.

Dissolved Oxygen and Triple Oxygen Isotope Measurements Provide Different Insights into Gross Oxygen Production in a Shallow Salt Marsh Pond

This 2020 article which appeared in Estuaries and Coasts describes a study that evaluated rates of gross oxygen production over different time scales in a shallow temperate salt marsh pond as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project.

Modeling the Spatial Dynamics of Marsh Ponds in New England Salt Marshes

This 2020 article which appeared in Geomorphology describes a model to predict marsh pond dynamics in New England salt marshes that was developed as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project .

Salt Marsh Pond Biogeochemistry Changes Hourly‐to‐Yearly but Does Not Scale With Dimensions or Geospatial Position

This 2020 article which appeared in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences describes a study that examined pond development and properties in salt marshes in order to better characterize them under different management and sea level rise scenarios as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project.

Global-Change Controls on Soil-Carbon Accumulation and Loss in Coastal Vegetated Ecosystems

This 2019 article, which appeared in Nature Geoscience, suggests the importance of the integration of decomposition mechanisms into blue carbon models for predicting soil organic carbon stores. These findings were generated as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project.

Comparison of Oyster Aquaculture Methods and Their Potential to Enhance Microbial Nitrogen Removal from Coastal Ecosystems

This article, published in Frontiers in Marine Science in 2021, describes work done as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project conducted at Waquoit Bay Reserve in Massachusetts. The article explores the impacts of oyster aquaculture on nitrogen removal by examining bacterial processes in sediments underlying three of the most common aquaculture methods that vary in the proximity of oysters to the sediments.
