Members of the lab had a great week at learning, engaging, supporting the community of people invested in our Great Lakes, and sharing our work. Our talks focused on mechanisms of phosphorus buildup in agricultural fields (Lakshan Beligala), the effects of dredged material amendment on P cycling in ag fields (me on behalf of Salim Shamsu-Deen Mohammed), and wetland plant traits and nutrient function (Trevor DeGroote and Lauren Brown )!

A new report from The Nature Conservancy suggests that for every $1 spent on H2Ohio wetlands, it produces $8 in economic benefits for the state of Ohio. Very proud of the contribution of Bowling Green State University scientists to monitoring these wetlands, including our lab and others.

The Nature Conservancy in Ohio and Earth Economics released the report “H2Ohio and the Value of Restoring Watersheds,” showing that the state’s water quality program for wetlands and agriculture generated more than $330 million in statewide economic benefits in 2024.
