Coastal Wetlands StudiesTaylor Michael
2022 The Garden Club of America Award in Coastal Wetlands Studies

Evaluating the Ability of Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands to Buffer Waterfowl-Derived Nutrient Inputs
Michael will investigate how waterfowl both supply and remove nutrients, namely nitrogen and phosphorus, from coastal wetlands along Lake Erie. Michael will experimentally test how quickly these nutrients are removed or immobilized in coastal wetland sediments. Michael’s research will help inform management decisions on how to prioritize both waterfowl habitat and nutrient-retention services.
