Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

Blue Carbon Assessment in the Salt Marshes of the Venice Lagoon: Dimensions, Variability and Influence of Storm‐Surge Regulation

Earth's Future
Salt marshes are intertidal coastal ecosystems shaped by complex feedbacks between hydrodynamic, morphological, and biological processes. These crucial yet endangered environments provide a diverse range of ecosystem services but are globally subjected ...

Sediment dynamics and vegetation resilience: A case study on the tidal flats in the Yangtze Delta

Applied Ocean Research
Salt marshes are among the most resilient systems in coastal environments, playing a key role in resisting rising sea level through sediment accretion and mitigating the pressures of climate change.

Nursery pot size, not planting density, affects vegetation performance in a restored semi‐arid wetland

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration often involves planting nursery‐grown potted plants to accelerate vegetation development, particularly when stressful conditions or insufficient source material inhibit natural recruitment. Under these conditions, planting more densely or larger, more developed plants may increase vegetation survival ...

High and dry: the persistence of diverse coastal marsh communities depends on available upland area and connection to surrounding waters

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...

Global meta‐analysis highlights recovery of animal functional diversity in restored coastal ecosystems

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal ecosystems have experienced widespread global degradation, prompting substantial investment in restoration. While structural recovery is well documented, whether restoration reestablishes the functional diversity (FD) of animal communities and how recovery unfolds through time remains poorly resolved.

Evaluating the state of constructed infills in the Venice Lagoon through remote satellite imagery

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Salt‐marsh restoration is used to counter wetland loss, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and support dredged‐sediment reuse. In the Venice Lagoon, 63 constructed infills have been realized since the late 1980s, yet their eco‐geomorphological development and restoration performance remain incompletely assessed. Objectives The study
