1 Predicting the Impacts of Saltwater Intrusion on Ecosystem Dynamics in Tidal Freshwater Floodplain Forests in Coastal Georgia Ellen R. Herbert 1, John M. Marton 1,5, Mihee Jun 2, Erika R. Elswick 3, and Christopher. Craft 1 1 School of Public and Environmental ffairs, Indiana University, loomington, Indiana, US 2 Institute of Health and Environment, Gyeongsangnam-do, Republic of Korea 3 Department of Geological Sciences, Indiana University, loomington, Indiana, US 5 Louisiana Marine Consortium, Chauvain, Louisiana, US
2 Outline Overview of tidal freshwater floodplain forests and global change Changes in cycling of: Carbon (C) & Sulfur (S) Nitrogen (N) Phosphorus (P) Scaling up using SLMM Discussion & Conclusions Unknowns and future work
3 Tidal Forests Tidal pulsing with freshwater Storm surge abatement and water storage Habitat and biodiversity C sequestration in woody biomass and soils Water quality amelioration GHG production: CO 2, CH 4 & N 2 O
4 Tidal Forests and Global Change SLR results in increased inundation rates Saltwater intrusion results from combination of: ltered precipitation regimes nthropogenic alteration of freshwater flow SLR
5 Global Change: Consequences Increased inundation rates = increased duration of anaerobic conditions Increased salinity Introduce sulfate (SO 4 2- ) ion Methanogenesis sulfate reduction ccelerate decomposition subsidence? Release P Change ionic strength

10 C & S Cycling: Saltwater and GHGs Objectives How does simulated saltwater intrusion impact: Greenhouse gas production? Sulfur cycling? Denitrification? Methods: ltamaha, Satilla, and Ogeechee Rivers naerobic bottle incubations at salinity of 0, 2, 5 cetylene block for denitrification Extract acid volatile and chromium reducible sulfur Marton et al.
