2019 The Garden Club of America Award in Coastal Wetlands Studies

Sam Bickley, a PhD candidate at Auburn University, will be assessing the impacts of urbanization on coastal streams and fringing salt marsh along the northern Gulf of Mexico. Coastal streams draining developed watersheds experience increased frequency and magnitude of salinity change due to increased freshwater runoff, but the impact on ecosystem structure and function of this altered salinity regime is poorly understood. Bickley’s research will examine how ecosystem metabolism, biogeochemical cycling, and resident sh communities in coastal streams and fringing salt marshes respond to this under researched yet widespread disturbance.
