Waterworld: increasing coastal urban waterways and the dilemmas for ecology and society
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Coastal urban expansion has transformed shorelines worldwide, replacing wetlands and floodplains with engineered residential waterways. The rapid proliferation of artificial canals and islands, from Palm Islands in the United Arab Emirates to China's coastal megaprojects, has created a global form of “ocean sprawl”, yet its ecological consequences ...

Factors Influencing Private Landowner Restoration Investment Decisions in Coastal Louisiana [PDF]
Coastal wetland loss has been a major problem in Louisiana, exceeding 1.2 million acres over the last century alone. Although federal, state, and local efforts have attempted to combat this loss from a public perspective, little has been done to ...

Geological Journal, EarlyView.Chemical states of Se and Br atoms in the KPg boundary sediments from Stevns Klint were studied using XAFS spectroscopy. The high concentrations of Se4+ could become an index of the degree to which the global environment was soiled with dust and ash derived from impact ejecta or volcanic eruptions.

The Value of Coastal Wetlands for Hurricane Protection
AMBIO: A Journal of the Human Environment, 2008 Coastal wetlands reduce the damaging effects of hurricanes on coastal communities. A regression model using 34 major US hurricanes since 1980 with the natural log of damage per unit gross domestic product in the hurricane swath as the dependent variable and the natural logs of wind speed and wetland area in the swath as the independent variables was ...

A study on spatial and temporal variations of coastal wetland in Pearl River Estuary
, 2010 Great changes of coastal wetland in Pearl River Estuary have taken placed since 1970s. To investigate the spatial and temporal variations of coastal wetland in Pearl River Estuary, Landsat-MSS images in 1975 and Landsat-TM images in 1995 & 2005 were ...

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.Topography shapes ecosystem controls, driving microclimate, hydrology, and vegetation, which, in turn, influence topsoil traits and DOM composition in coastal dune soils. Distinct molecular patterns emerge across north‐facing and south‐facing slopes and dune valleys.
