Cetaceans and floating marine macro-litter in the Calabrian Ionian Sea (Central Eastern Mediterranean): applying conservation research

Frontiers in Ocean Sustainability
The Gulf of Squillace, in the Calabrian Ionian Sea, where we have been conducting scientific research and marine monitoring since 2019, has proven to be an important area for pelagic animals, including seabirds and sea turtles.

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

A multi-year tracking of floating marine litter from satellite images in the Pearl River Estuary

Cambridge Prisms: Plastics
Marine litter, predominantly plastic, is a global environmental threat, which management is hindered by the absence of large-scale monitoring tools. This study extends a framework to detect Floating Marine Macro-Litter (FMML) in the complex waters of the

Can surface treatments and climate matching enhance restoration success in the Sonoran Desert?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoring native plant communities in arid ecosystems through seeding is a critical yet often unsuccessful strategy due to severe environmental stressors, including degraded soils, low and variable rainfall, and seed predation. Objectives To improve restoration outcomes, we examined the influence of seed mix types and soil surface

Disturbance legacies in arid environments shape recovery of former agricultural land

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Increasingly, arid agricultural land is being permanently taken out of irrigated production due to more frequent drought, higher temperatures, and the overconsumption of groundwater, with important ramifications for ecological recovery.

Environmental drivers of gaseous carbon fluxes in drained and rewetted Minnesota peatlands, U. S. A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Rewetting shows promise for mitigating carbon loss from drained peatlands. However, knowledge gaps remain in rewetting impacts on gaseous carbon fluxes and factors affecting rewetting success, especially in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, United States, despite abundant degraded peatlands presenting restoration opportunities ...

Detecting Floating Marine Macro Litter (FMML) Using Deep Learning Models

INTERANTIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN ENGINEERING AND MANAGEMENT
Floating plastic debris on water surfaces poses both immediate and long-term threats to the environment. Therefore, identifying and monitoring plastic pollution is crucial for understanding its location and scale. This article presents a framework for detecting and tracking floating plastic debris in inland waters using optical satellite image time ...
