Synopsis: |
In this study, we examined the export of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) from a 3,700-ha ponded freshwater marsh through which Mississippi River water is diverted into the Louisiana Barataria Basin estuary. DOC concentration in water leaving the freshwater wetland was elevated in relation to water entering the ponded wetland. This study clearly demonstrated that the freshwater marsh in upper Barataria Basin supplies a significant amount of DOC concentration to the lower estuary. |

Synopsis: |
Drug compounds are found in wastewater and come primarily from human excretion. When wastewater is treated at the plant, many compounds are still in the water and are discharged to rivers and lakes. Some of the drug compounds include antiepileptics, analgesics, lipid regulators and antibiotics. Wetland treatment for removal of drug was found to be complete for some of the compounds while less effective for others. More work is needed to determine removal mechanisms |

Synopsis: |
This review provides an overview of shorebird abundance and habitat use of Gulf of Mexico estuarine and barrier island habitats. Much of the designated wintering critical habitat for the endangered/threatened Piping Plover is located on the Gulf Coast and the area is probably equally important to many other shorebird species migrating through interior North America. Unvegetated habitats such as tidal flats are the habitats that are most heavily used by wintering and migrating shorebirds. |

Synopsis: |
Reduction of nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) leaching is important because of environmental, economical, and energy-conservation concerns. While a lot of emphasis has been placed on in-field practices to reduce leaching, the number of options and their effects are more limited than one would like, given the desire for economical food production. Thus off-site landscape modifications may also be needed to meet water quality criteria with respect to N and/or NO3-N. |

Synopsis: |
Understanding the interaction between chemical, physical, and biological parameters in lake ecosystems is essential for environmental management. Shallow lake systems can be in different stable situations: clear or turbid. These systems show a hysteresis effect when going from clear to turbid and back. With dedicated management strategies, lake recovery after eutrophication can be accelerated. Wetland areas as part of a lake can act as accelerators. This effect is studied with a mathematical model. |

Synopsis: |
This article asserts the value of economics in decision making for environmental policy when the science is uncertain. The critical value of economic analysis is in bounding potential actions by identifying cost-effective measures for various levels of controlling pollution (nitrogen losses to the Gulf of Mexico) while also identifying the range of consequences of those actions. The relative magnitudes of costs and consequences provide a guide for environmental risk reduction if not amelioration of environmental degradation. |
