Denitrification in created riverine wetlands: Influence of hydrology and season (2006)

Hernandez, Maria E, Mitsch, William J

Seasonal denitrification rates in two created riparian marshes were investigated under pulsing and steadywater flow conditions. Denitrification was measured using the in situ acetylene block...

Aquatic metabolism as an indicator of the ecological effects of hydrologic pulsing in flow-through wetlands (2006)

Tuttle, Cassandra L, Mitsch, William J

Water column metabolism is a major component in the functioning of wetland ecosystems and can be used as an indicator of ecosystem health. The effect of hydrologic pulsing on water column metabolism...

The influence of hydrologic restoration on the productivity of a bottomland forest in central Ohio (2006)

Anderson, Christopher J, Mitsch, William J

Change in forest productivity in response to hydrologic restoration was evaluated at a 5.2-ha bottomland hardwood forest in central Ohio. In June 2000, the bottomland forest was restored to...

Soil characteristics in a bottomland hardwood forest five years after hydrologic restoration (2006)

Beekman, Christopher J, Mitsch, William J

The hydrology of the bottomland hardwood forest in Central Ohio was restored in the spring of 2000 by the creation of four breaches in the protective levee along the Olentangy River. A 2005 study was...

Denitrification potential and organic matter as affected by vegetation community, wetland age, and plant introduction in created wetlands (2006)

Hernandez, Maria E, Mitsch, William J

Denitrification potential and organic matter in soils were compared in three different vegetation communities— emergent macrophtye, open water, and forested edge—in two ten-year old created...

Effect of Pulsing on Macrophyte Productivity and Nutrient Uptake: A Wetland Mesocosm Experiment (2005)

CHRISTOPHER J. ANDERSON, WILLIAM J. MITSCH

A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of a pulsing hydrology on the productivity and nutrient uptake of an herbaceous riverine wetland. Pulsing effects were evaluated using 20 0.9-m2 wetland...

Using ecological indicators in a whole-ecosystem wetland experiment (2004)

Mitsch, William J., Wang, Naiming, Zhang, Li, Deal, Robert, Wu, Xinyuan, Zuwerink, Andy

Indicators were used to estimate wetland divergence and convergence in a whole ecosystem experiment in central Ohio, USA. Two similar-geomorphology, 1-ha flow-through created wetland basins were...

Dynamics of Mixtures of Typha latifolia and Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani in Nutrient-enrichment Wetland Experiments (2001)

LISA J. SVENGSOUK, WILLIAM J. MITSCH

Loss of plant species diversity in wetlands has been linked to high nutrient conditions. In particular, Typha spp. are known to form monotypic stands in fertile wetland systems. In this study marsh...
