Title:Effects of mangrove encroachment on tidal wetland plants and epifauna: 2012-2020
Alternate Identifier:DOI PLACE HOLDER
Abstract:

Woody encroachment is occurring in many marsh-mangrove ecotones across the globe, with multiple drivers contributing to an increase in mangrove cover. As a result, marsh plant species are often displaced, resulting in a striking regime shift from grass and forb-dominated habitats to taller, woody vegetation. Our goal was to quantify the bottom-up effects of mangrove woody encroachment into coastal wetlands on associated plant and epifaunal assemblages. In 2012, we established several large (> 20 ha) survey areas at tidal wetland sites with or without black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) on the Texas (USA) coast in the Gulf of Mexico, an area highly susceptible to mangrove encroachment. Starting in 2012, we annually recorded vascular plant cover and diversity and recorded snail (Littoraria irrorata) and fiddler crab (Uca spp.) density along transects perpendicular to the shoreline. Marsh plant species richness was 50% lower at sites with mangroves, and some species, such as Sarcocornia spp. and Distichlis spicata, were relatively rare or absent from sites with mangroves. The wetland plant communities at these sites were relatively unaffected by Hurricane Harvey (August 2017). Epifaunal snails and crabs were common at all sites, with abundances that varied over time. Our results indicate that coastal wetlands dominated by mangroves support different and lower diversity plant assemblages than marsh-dominated areas. These results were largely consistent with the results of a previous manipulative experiment in the same area. Therefore, as woody encroachment continues and mangrove cover gradually increases, this change may lead to complex bottom-up effects on a range of ecosystem processes and services.

Description:

We worked within the Coastal Bend region of Texas (Gulf of Mexico, USA) where mangrove- and marsh-dominated areas are found in relatively close proximity to each other. A set of seven survey sites containing relatively large (> 20 ha) expanses of emergent tidal wetlands were identified in 2012. Black mangroves (Avicennia germinans) comprised 77 ± 3% (mean ± SE) of the emergent vegetation cover at four of the sites; mangroves were not present at the remaining three sites. One additional site without mangroves was added in 2013, and two additional sites (one of each site type) were added in 2014, for a total of five of each site type. In this area, mangroves were primarily located on or near the barrier islands and sites without mangroves were on the mainland. Therefore, it was not possible to spatially intersperse different site types. Despite the limitations imposed by the landscape distributions of mangrove stands, using a “natural experiment” involving large survey areas enabled us to examine links between mangrove presence and associated community assemblages at a larger and more representative spatial scale than would be possible using an experimental approach.

To characterize the tidal wetland at each site, we established a linear transect perpendicular to the shoreline, extending from the vegetation-water interface to the upper littoral zone. The upland transition was clearly delineated by a distinct change from salt marsh vegetation species to either salt pan (non-vegetated, high elevation) or upland vegetation species. Since each site had a unique shoreline topography, the length of the shoreline-upland transect differed among sites, ranging from 70-180 m. Five stations were established along each transect: one at the low elevation vegetation (Spartina alterniflora) edge, and one at the upland wetland vegetation boundary, with three additional stations evenly spaced between the upper and lower stations. Using a Lasermark LM800 GR surveyor, elevation was measured relative to the lowest tidal extent of Spartina alterniflora, which was assumed to occur at a similar elevation across sites in this region.

We surveyed epifauna and vegetation at a subset of sites in the fall in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2017, and 2020 by placing a 1-m2 quadrat every 10-50 m along each transect (the total number of quadrats varied among dates due to logistical constraints). We recorded which marsh and mangrove plant species were present in each quadrat and determined species richness in each plots. Based on field observations or plot photos, we recorded two different types of plant cover. (1) Canopy Cover (CC) was a visual estimate of the area of influence of the plant. This cover value represents the vertical projection of the outermost perimeter of the natural spread of foliage of plants; CC includes area under potential influence of the roots and ignores gaps in the canopy. For any given plot, the total canopy cover can exceed 100% because plants can overlap. (2) Absolute cover (AC) was the birds-eye view of each plot, where total cover (including bare space) summed to 100%. Pneumatophores were excluded from absolute cover.
