Achieving conservation and restoration outcomes through ecologically beneficial aquaculture

Conservation Biology, 2023
Abstract A range of conservation and restoration tools are needed to safeguard the structure and function of aquatic ecosystems. Aquaculture, the culturing of aquatic organisms, often contributes to the numerous stressors that aquatic ecosystems face, yet some aquaculture activities can also deliver ecological benefits.

The restoration of ecological interactions: plant-pollinator networks on ancient and restored heathlands [PDF]

, 2008
1. Attempts to restore damaged ecosystems usually emphasize structural aspects of biodiversity, such as species richness and abundance. An alternative is to emphasize functional aspects, such as patterns of interaction between species.

Characteristics and influencing factors of metal distribution in different wetlands of the Liaohe Delta, Northeastern China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Metal distribution in different wetlands under the complex influence of natural and anthropogenic activities in the Liaohe Delta was analyzed to better protect and manage delta areas. Ninety-six soil samples were collected from six wetland types, and the

Increasing precipitation during first half of growing season enhances ecosystem water use efficiency in a semiarid grassland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Precipitation amount and seasonality can profoundly impact ecosystem carbon (C) and water fluxes. Water use efficiency (WUE), which measures the amount of C assimilation relative to the amount of water loss, is an important metric linking ecosystem C and

Applying trait-based models to achieve functional targets for theory-driven ecological restoration [PDF]

, 2014
Manipulating community assemblages to achieve functional targets is a key component of restoring degraded ecosystems. The response-and-effect trait framework provides a conceptual foundation for translating restoration goals into functional trait targets,
