High-Precision Measurements of Wetland Sediment Elevation: I. Recent Improvements to the Sedimentation-Erosion Table

Journal of Sedimentary Research (2002)

Donald R. Cahoon James C. Lynch Philippe Hensel Roelof Boumans Brian C. Perez

ABSTRACT The sedimentation-erosion table (SET) developed by Boumans and Day (1993) is herein renamed the surface elevation table (SET) to better reflect the conceptual view of the processes being measured. The SET was designed for making high-resolution measurements of small-scale changes in elevation of loose, unconsolidated sediments in shallow water and mudflat habitats. The SET has undergone three major improvements to increase precision and so that it can be used to measure sediment elevation in vegetated wetlands as well as shallow water habitats. The remote-release sliding mechanism has been replaced with a single plate, collars (first 2.5 cm then 7.5 cm in length) have been attached to the plate to reduce play in the placement of the measuring pins, and the brass measuring pins have been replaced with fiberglass pins to reduce bending and consequent loss of precision. Under ideal laboratory conditions, the 95% confidence limit for individual pin measurements averaged about ± 1.4 mm (range ± 0.7 to ± 1.9 mm). These modifications have resulted in a reduction of error by about 50%.

Climate change and ecosystem services: The contribution of and impacts on federal public lands in the United States

Valerie Esposito Spencer Phillips Roelof Boumans Azur Moulaert Jennifer Boggs

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) (2007) reports a likely 2 °C to 4.5 °C temperature rise in the upcoming decades. This warming is likely to affect ecosystems and their ability to provide services that benefit human well-being. Ecosystem services valuation (ESV), meanwhile, has emerged as a way to recognize the economic value embodied in these services that is not currently reflected in markets. To contribute to better understanding of how U.S. conservation lands may be affected by climate change, we outline a method and preliminary estimates of the value of ecosystem services harbored or produced in abundance on those lands as well as how that value may change under climate change scenarios. We combine GIS analysis with the benefits transfer method to estimate potential global-warming-induced changes in the economic value of ecosystem services produced by U.S. conservation lands. Using conservative assumptions, the overall trend indicates that the majority of ecosystem services values decreases as temperature increases. While some ecosystem service values increase in the 2 °C scenario in several regions, the values markedly decrease in all but one region under the 4.5 °C scenario. These results are consistent with other major studies, such as the IPCC and the Cost of Policy Inaction reports, and indicate the important role of public conservation lands in providing ecosystem services and the need for policy action to avoid major economic losses were climate change to impair the health of those lands.

Participatory modeling of recreation and tourism

Lisa Chase Roelof Boumans Stephanie Morse

Communities involved in recreation and tourism planning need to understand the broad range of benefits and challenges--economic, social, and ecological--in order to make informed decisions. Participatory computer modeling is a methodology that involves a community in the process of collectively building a model about a particular situation that affects participants' lives. This research attempts to combine the diverse perspectives gained through stakeholder involvement with the analytical tools of dynamic modeling to help communities make better-informed decisions regarding recreation and tourism development. A comparison of the developed models and an evaluation of the participatory process will yield a unified general model and inform the direction of future research.
