Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

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

open access: yesRestoration 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 ...

Sediment microbial communities in long‐term wetland restorations within the Prairie Pothole Region of the United States

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Hydrologic wetland restoration in the Prairie Pothole Region is a common management practice to facilitate habitat and ecosystem recovery after degradation or drainage. Little is known about the recovery of sediment microbial communities relative to other organisms, such as vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrates, even though they are critical for ...

INCREASED RESERVOIR BENEFITS: THE CONTRIBUTION OF SOIL CONSERVATION PROGRAMS [PDF]

open access: yes
The objective of this research is to value soil conservation's impact on reservoirs. Using a model based on replacement cost, we estimate the benefits gained by marginal decreases in soil erosion for more than 75,000 reservoirs across the contiguous ...

The source‐to‐sea nexus between water and ocean law: An international and EU perspective

open access: yesReview of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, EarlyView.
Abstract The source‐to‐sea (S2S) approach provides a systemic framework for analysing the governance of naturally interconnected freshwater and marine ecosystems. This paper examines the extent to which the S2S approach is reflected in key international and EU water and ocean law instruments, as well as the legal and governance implications of said ...

A mile high and an inch deep: Exploring ChatGPT as a mathematics curriculum development tool

open access: yesSchool Science and Mathematics, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has issues, including inherent bias and inaccurate information, yet it has not stifled individuals' use of this technology in the mathematics classroom. Thus, we conducted a document analysis to investigate ChatGPT, a generative AI chatbot, constructing elementary mathematical tasks to determine how ...
