Coastal Wetlands StudiesMary Carmichael
2015 The Garden Club of America Award in Coastal Wetlands Studies
Mary Jane Carmichael, a Ph.D. student at Wake Forest University, will research the role of standing dead vegetation in the atmospheric flux or flow rate of methane gas from wetlands in an expanded study. A previous pilot study indicated that dead woody vegetation exposed to excessive over wash by salt water mixed with high organic input from agricultural sources may be an important unrecognized source of methane which is potent greenhouse gas. She will conduct her research at a wetland being restored in Tyrrell County, NC. The study will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the pathways of methane flow from freshwater coastal wetlands, aiding in management decisions for greenhouse gas emissions.
