Mapping Coastal Wetlands of the Bohai Rim at a Spatial Resolution of 10 m Using Multiple Open-Access Satellite Data and Terrain Indices

Remote Sensing, 2020
Coastal wetlands provide essential ecosystem services and are closely related to human welfare. However, they can experience substantial degradation, especially in regions in which there is intense human activity.

Hydrodynamics of coastal wetlands in Dakshina Kannada and their importance for avian fauna [PDF]

, 2016
Coastal wetlands, which act as buffer zones between the marine and upstream land area, are increasingly under pressure due to an array of activities by multiple users. The wetlands are under the influence of both fresh and saline water.

Streamlining Wetland Vegetation Mapping with AlphaEarth Embeddings: Comparable Accuracy to Traditional Methods with Cleaner Maps and Minimal Preprocessing

Remote Sensing
Accurate mapping of wetland vegetation is essential for ecosystem monitoring and conservation planning. Traditional workflows combining Sentinel-1 SAR, Sentinel-2 optical imagery, and topographic data have advanced vegetation classification but require ...

Spatial variation of coastal wetland vulnerability to oil spill stress in the Bohai Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Due to their position at the land–sea interface, coastal wetlands are extremely vulnerable to oil spills. However, few studies have focused on the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to oil spill hazards. In this study, we developed a spatial vulnerability

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Antioxidant Defense Mechanisms in the Silkworm Bombyx mori after Exposure to Lead

Animals
Lead (Pb) is a major source of heavy metal contamination, and poses a threat to biodiversity and human health. Elevated levels of Pb can hinder insect growth and development, leading to apoptosis via mechanisms like oxidative damage.
