Changes in the frequency and severity of extreme weather may introduce new threats to species that are already under stress from gradual habitat loss and climate change. We provide a probabilistic framework that quantifies potential threats by applying concepts from ecological resilience to single populations. Our approach uses computation to compare disturbance–impacted projections to a population's...
Hurricane Sandy made landfall in the USA on October 29, 2012 and had devastating impacts on human-dominated landscapes in the mid-Atlantic and New England states, but its effects on tidal marsh habitats remain largely undescribed. We evaluated the short-term resilience (a resistance to change or a rapid return to pre-storm conditions) of tidal marshes on Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge,...
Coastal marshes are one of the world's most productive ecosystems. Consequently, they have been heavily used by humans for centuries, resulting in ecosystem loss. Direct human modifications such as road crossings and ditches and climatic stressors such as sea‐level rise and extreme storm events have the potential to further degrade the quantity and quality of marsh along coastlines. We used an 18‐year...
