What we study
The Angelini Lab studies coastal ecology and restoration. A recent student project tested how sand source and fertilizer affect two dune grasses in a greenhouse; its papers also cover red tide, wetland restoration and estuary water quality.

Sand Source and Fertilizer Addition Effects on the Growth of Two Foundational Dune Grasses: Implications for Restoration
The study tests how different sand types and fertilizer affect two dune grasses used in Florida beach restoration. In a two‑month greenhouse experiment, bitter panicum grew more with fertilizer, while sea oats did not grow well in upland sand even with fertilizer.
