Abstract Introduction Novel ecosystems, where environmental conditions have been fundamentally altered from a historic norm, require nontraditional approaches to restoration. Suisun Marsh, located within California's San Francisco Estuary (SFE), is a novel, brackish water wetland complex, where managers have begun restoring tidal connectivity to ...

No need to seed: restoring species‐rich grassland on former arable fields by natural regeneration
Abstract Introduction Over the last century, agricultural intensification has caused substantial losses of semi‐natural species‐rich grasslands. One means of restoring grassland habitat is to abandon farmed land, followed by mowing and/or grazing of the established vegetation to facilitate meadow diversification. Objectives This study investigated post‐

Abstract Introduction The restoration of mining‐degraded riparian forests faces challenges due to structural, compositional, and functional impacts on these ecosystems. The demand for effective monitoring requires an understanding of how ecological indicators have been applied to assess post‐mining restoration success.

Microplastic Dynamics in Sediment Layers of Two Ramsar‐Designated Wetlands
ABSTRACT Little is known about the vertical and spatial dynamics of microplastics in relation to hydrology and land use, particularly in African context. This study aimed to assess the abundance, type, colour and vertical distribution of microplastics in sediment from two Ramsar‐designated wetlands, the Makuleke and Nylsvley. Sediment core samples were

This paper presents a framework for Multiple Resilience Dividends (MRD) that proposes shift climate change adaptation from a narrow risk‐focused perspective to a broader, multi‐objective systems approach. By recognizing the diverse range of benefits that adaptation measures can provide, practitioners can go beyond merely avoiding losses.
