Elepaio (chasiempis sandwichensis)
Hymenachne was introduced into northern Queensland, Australia in the 1970s to use in ponded pastures. It escaped cultivation a few years after its release in 1988. It is spreading throughout the tropical wetlands of northern Australia and is most common in the coastal wetlands of northern Queensland and the Northern Territory.
Hymenachne amplexicaulis (Olive hymenachne)

Often located in remote sites, US field stations rely on telecommunications to stay connected to their institutions. Field stations often offer classes, to students or the public, as well as conduct scientific research.

A diagram illustrates the way in which carbon dioxide dissolves in the ocean and the impacts acidification can have on marine life.
Atmospheric and Eutrophic Acidification
A graph depicts the low oxygen levels and high ammonium concentrations in 2005 that caused large algae blooms. This put more stress on the ecosystem, resulting in the fish kill.

A conceptual diagram illustrates the key features of the Chesapeake Bay watershed as well as the inputs that stimulate eutrophication and the symptoms of eutrophication.
The Causes and Effects of Eutrophication
A diagram illustrates the current conditions of the forest and shrub ecosystem on Assateague Island and shows the impacts climate change will likely have on native species in this area.
Climate Change Impacts on Assateague's Forest…
A conceptual diagram illustrates the current threats to native salt marsh species as well as the threats these species will face as their habitat is altered by climate change.
Effects of Climate Change on the Salt Marsh…
This nematode worm is a parasite, originally from Southeast Asia. With the American eel population already declining, the introduction of this nematode may have a large negative impact on the survival of this species.
Anguillicoloides crassus (Nematode Worm)
Pickleweed is an invasive or introduced plant in Hawaii. It has succulent, brilliant green leaves and is common in salt marshes and tidal shorelines. It grows slowly in soils with high salt concentrations and areas with seawater overwash where it suffers little competition from other plants. The species manages salts by sequestering them in cell vacuoles and eventually shedding the leaves.
Batis maritima (Pickleweed)
The timing of tropical storms and hurricanes can have major impacts on the life histories of Chesapeake Bay flora and fauna. Changes in water salinity can cause early spawning in some species, such as the blue crab, and increased sediment can cause widespread die-off of seagrasses.
Storm Timing and Impacts on Chesapeake Bay Flora…
This diagram illustrates the main threats from hurricanes and tropical storms. The counterclockwise circulation of winds in the Northern Hemisphere causes maximum winds and maximum storm surges.
Threats from Hurricanes and Tropical Storms
A diagram illustrates the flow capacity for the Mississippi River in thousands of cubic feet per second, based on the 1956 project design flood. The Ohio river is the 200,000 square-mile eastern drainage of the Mississippi River watershed. Diagram from
