Tiny Giants: Texas Coastal Prairie Wetlands Are Nutrient Transformers

This Society of Wetland Scientists Research Brief looks at whether coastal prairie wetlands in the Galveston Bay Watershed could possess a significant nexus to waters of the United States. The researchers find that a potential nexus may exist, as the loss of these wetlands leads to increases in nutrients in Galveston Bay's tributaries that highlight their role in regulating water quality.
