Permanence Amidst Continual Motion: A Marsh RetreatHudgins, Steven Garrett 18 October 2017 (has links)
This thesis explores how a place can be made within a tidal marsh; a place where people can stay and experience being in the marsh. The experience should be able to be en- joyed at any time, day or night, good weather and bad. For this a shelter, a built form, is needed. This built form should have permanence. It is the constant that the ever-moving marsh registers against. / Master of Architecture

Study on the Vegetation Ecology of Marsh at Coastal Wetlands in TaiwanYeh, Chiou-yu 25 July 2005 (has links)
Taiwan is an island surrounded by sea. Due to the topography, the coastal wetlands distribute almost around the west seashore, and some at the estuary of the east seashore. The coastal wetland is a transitional area between territory ecosystem and marine ecosystem. The environment of the coastal wetland is influenced by tide and season, thus the distribution of vegetations here exhibits a dynamic equilibrium.
This study attempts to investigate the distribution and composition of the vegetation and the appearance of the habitat environment at the coastal wetland of Taiwan. According to the results, 173 species belonging to 50 families have been recorded. This indicates that the diversity of the marsh vegetation at the coastal wetland is low. Most of the species belong to Gramineae, Compositae and Cyperaceae. Paspalum vaginatum and Phragmites karka are the most dominant plant at coastal marsh environments.
According to the results of detrended correspondence analysis (DCA) and cluster analysis (CA), 16 vegetation types including one subtype and one transitional type are classified. The habitats of these vegetation types can be classified into five types, namely tidal fresh water marsh, fresh water-salt marsh, wet meadow, salt marsh and submerged environment. Most of these vegetation types have only one major dominant species.
The distribution of the marsh vegetation features a belting pattern, which is mainly limited by the maximum of their salt tolerance from coastal toward inland, or estuary toward headwaters. Subsequently, it can by influenced by soil moisture and pH value. Furthermore, the vegetations are influenced by many additional environmental factors, resulting in a mosaic distribution of vegetation types.
The marsh vegetation is processing at an unstable and developing period. Because the coastal wetland is seriously disturbed by human activities, the environmental variation becomes greater. Therefore, the transitional vegetations were observed frequently. Finally, the development pressure due to economic demand is the major cause that makes coastal wetland disappeared. It is urgently needed to protect this sensitive natural resource.

Soil Buoyancy as a Potential Indicator of Hurricane Susceptibility in Louisiana MarshesGros, Alissa 05 August 2010 (has links)
Hurricanes rapidly destroy large expanses land in coastal Louisiana marsh. Research shows that freshwater marsh with organic soils experience increased destruction during hurricanes compared to other marsh. A relevant question surfaces, do some restoration projects create marsh similar to marshes that are more susceptible to hurricane damage. This study analyzes soil, bulk density, plant composition, and buoyancy of restoration projects and sites adjacent to those that experienced land loss during Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Results indicate that high organic matter percentages in marsh soil increases hurricane susceptibility attributed to decreased bulk density and increased buoyancy. Buoyancy is episodic and is highest during late summer months when soil temperature and decomposition are highest. Late summer is typically when most intense hurricanes occur. If marsh is less dense, decomposing, and buoyant when strongest hurricanes hit, then potential for destruction during a hurricane increases. Samples were collected from August 2009 to October 2009.
