Bishop, T. Dale

Ph.D., 1995, Ecology, University of Georgia

Research Interests:

Invertebrates of southeastern barrier islands with particular emphasis on marsh invertebrate populaion dynamics, their influence on carbon/nutrient flux and their ability to control microbial processes. My dissertation was far afield from this, dealing with the characterization, quantification and estimation of the biological processing of finer flocculent organic carbon material deposited at high tide on the marsh surface.
