Title: Coastal wetlands in a changing world

Abstract: Coastal wetlands are hotspots of carbon sequestration that regulate the biogeochemistry of coastal rivers, estuaries, and continental shelves, yet these ecosystems are highly vulnerable to global change. Wetland responses to global change can be complex because wetland plants simultaneously regulate supplies of electron donors (organic carbon) and electron acceptors (molecular oxygen), influencing microbial activity. The Salt Marsh Accretion Response to Temperature eXperiment (SMARTX) was established at the Smithsonian’s Global Change Research Wetland in 2016 to increase our understanding of how the complex interactions between plants, microbes, and hydrology will respond to global climate change. In SMARTX, we actively manipulate whole-ecosystem temperature through feedback-controlled heating from the plant canopy to 1.5 m soil depth as well as atmospheric CO2 concentration. Over the past 6 years, we have found that warming and elevated CO2 generally increase aboveground net primary productivity (NPP) but have more complex and non-linear effects on belowground NPP. These non-linear belowground plant responses are driving key soil biogeochemical processes such as redox potential, soil carbon sequestration, and methane (CH4) emissions, affecting the radiative forcing potential of the ecosystem.

Bio: Genevieve Noyce is a research scientist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, where she has been a part of the Biogeochemistry Lab since 2016. She has a BA in

environmental science from Mount Holyoke College, a MS in earth science from the University of New Hampshire, a MS in math from King’s College London, and a PhD in physical geography from the University of Toronto. Genevieve has worked in both forests and wetlands, studying soil microbial ecology and biogeochemistry, but her current research mainly focuses on plant-microbe interactions in coastal wetlands and how these dynamics shape ecosystem resiliency to global change.



Sincerely,

co-host: KJ Min & Manisha Dolui
