Phenological Indices of Wetland Recovery in Working Landscapes of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
A growing number of restoration projects are undertaken in the Delta, yet post-restoration monitoring efforts have been sparse.  Successful monitoring can help project managers learn effective rest

Synthesis of the effect of drought on the distribution and movement of a non-native predator (striped bass) in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta
Within the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, predation may be a contributing factor to low survival of endangered Chinook salmon.

Effects of drought and elevated nutrients on invasion by Lepidium latifolium and implications for carbon storage in tidal wetlands of the San Francisco Bay-Delta
The Delta ecosystem is under threat from multiple concurrent stressors, including drought, nutrient pollution, and invasion by non-native species.

Large and small-scale sediment dynamics during (after) the drought
Turbidity plays a key role in Delta aquatic ecosystems, where suspended sediment can limit light for phytoplankton growth, transport contaminants, provide protection from predation for many fish sp

The effect of particulate organic carbon composition on zooplankton growth in tidal wetlands of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta
With extensive plans for restoration in the Delta (30,000 acres), there is a great need to understand how various types of restoration will impact lower food web dynamics, which are intimately link

The Effects of Premature Hypersaline Acclimation Due to Climate Change on Pyrethroid Toxicity in Salmonids
Sea level rise and drought are expected to result in hypersaline waterways in the Delta.

Ecological functions of tidal marsh for estuarine and migratory fishes in Suisun Marsh
Tidal marshes are productive ecosystems that provide food and refuge to juvenile fish, increasing survival to adulthood.

California Drought and Delta Fishes: Impacts of Multiple Stressors on the Physiological Performance and Predator/Prey Dynamics in Native and Non-Native fishes
Due to the rapid decline in Delta fish populations and projections for continued drought and climate change, the persistence of several Delta fishes is considered to be extremely vulnerable.

Modeling pesticide loadings into the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta: potential impacts on weed biological control
Each year, millions of dollars are spent in the Delta to prevent invasive weeds from obstructing navigation, reducing water quality, displacing native species and harboring mosquitoes.

Restoring the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Peatlands: A complete biogeochemical assessment of climatic impacts
Delta peatlands play a complex role in a changing climate.
