James T. Morris has published extensively in several peer-reviewed venues with multiple articles in "Estuaries and Coasts," followed by publications in "Earth's Future," "Remote Sensing," "Ecological Modelling," and "Journal of Geophysical Research Biogeosciences."

Recent papers include:

  • "How Plants Influence Resilience of Salt Marsh and Mangrove Wetlands to Sea-Level Rise" (2020) in Estuaries and Coasts
  • "Coastal Wetland Resilience, Accelerated Sea-Level Rise, and the Importance of Timescale" (2021) in AGU Advances
  • "Spatiotemporal Mapping of Salt Marshes in the Intertidal Zone of China during 1985-2019" (2022) in Journal of Remote Sensing
  • "Responses of Coastal Ecosystems to Climate Change: Insights from Long-Term Ecological Research" (2022) in BioScience
  • "Mangrove growth response to experimental warming is greatest near the range limit in northeast Florida" (2021) in Ecology

Their research collaboration network is reflected by frequent co-authorship with several researchers, including José L. Rolando, Nathaniel B. Weston, Scott C. Neubauer, Christopher Craft, and Cuizhen Wang, each with multiple joint publications.
