Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

Root Traits Predict the Soil Functional Responses of Subtropical Plant Species to Experimental Drought

Ecology and Evolution
Substantial interspecific variation in both drought responses and soil functioning among woody species poses significant challenges for predicting drought impacts on soil functioning in species‐rich tropical and subtropical forests.

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Destruction of coastal ecosystems

Wetlands Australia, 2010
A study of coastal areas from Fraser Island in Queensland to the Coorong in South Australia indicates that the Australian ethic does not include conservation of natural vegetation types nor of landscape beauty. The destructive developments are urban subdivisions down to the high water mark (HWM), clearing of mangroves and the filling in of saltmarshes ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Chilling damage to mangrove mollusk species by the 2008 cold event in Southern China

Ecosphere, 2016
The frequency, duration, and intensity of extreme cold events are widely regarded as primary constraints on the upper latitudinal limits of mangroves. Little data are available on the consequences of recovery (or lack thereof) of non‐floristic components

Ecosystem Services as a Common Language for Coastal Ecosystem‐Based Management

Conservation Biology, 2010
Abstract:  Ecosystem‐based management is logistically and politically challenging because ecosystems are inherently complex and management decisions affect a multitude of groups. Coastal ecosystems, which lie at the interface between marine and terrestrial ecosystems and provide an array of ecosystem services to
