Below-ground biomass in healthy and impaired salt marshes
TL;DR: In this paper, 12 salt marshes in south Louisiana (USA) were classified as either "impaired" or "healthy" before a summer sample collection of above-and below-ground biomass and determination of sediment accretion rates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstructed water quality changes for 1800 to 2000 in Charlotte Harbor (Florida), a shallow subtropical estuary, by using a suite of biological and geochemical proxies in dated sediments collected in the region of a present day, midsummer hypoxic zone.

Hurricane signals in salt marsh sediments: Inorganic sources and soil volume
TL;DR: In this paper, the inorganic content of 51 dated sediment cores from Mississippi River deltaic plain salt marsh wetlands peaks with the landfall of hurricanes, and the authors support the hypothesis that wetlands of an undeveloped coast receive the majority of their inorganic sediment from offshore and not from overbank flooding or through crevasses.
Spatial variations in Chlorophyll a , C, N, and P in a Louisiana estuary from 1994 to 2016
TL;DR: In this article, the average Chlorophyll a (Chl) concentration from 267 trips was supported from both nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria in a freshwater lake and partially from nutrients in seaward sources.
A rationale for coastal wetland restoration through spoil bank management in Louisiana, USA
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an implementation plan for restoring coastal wetlands in Louisiana by modifying the extensive interlocking network of dredged spoil deposits, or spoil banks, by reestablishing a more natural water flow at moderate flow velocity.
