Abstract Introduction Coastal wetlands, despite their importance in providing ecosystem services like carbon sequestration, water quality improvement, and coastal protection, have suffered extensive degradation and loss in the past two centuries. Hydrological restoration of these degraded ecosystems presents an emerging opportunity for mitigating and ...

Salt marsh wetlands in the Yellow River Delta are highly sensitive to changes in riverine water and sediment supply, which are increasingly influenced by large-scale river regulation and coastal environmental change.

Abstract Introduction Floodplain wetlands are vitally important, highly productive, and biodiverse ecosystems. Species dependent on them are facing a range of threats including water extraction, habitat degradation, invasive species, and shifting climates.

Quantitative analysis of channel characteristics of distributive fluvial systems
ABSTRACT Distributive fluvial systems (DFSs) are characterised by a radial distributive channel pattern in planform and dominate modern‐day sedimentary basins. Where aggradation occurs, such as in sedimentary basins, there is increased preservation potential, and therefore, DFSs are hypothesised to constitute a significant portion of the continental ...

ABSTRACT Understanding the processes that drive soil formation is crucial for developing sustainable land‐use strategies, as changing land‐use practices and climate change exacerbate soil erosion. The formation of substantial arable soils on carbonate bedrock requires substantial dust accretion as the underlying bedrock lacks siliciclastic material. In

Permanent nearshore sediment loss and inevitable retreat of cohesive bluff‐backed beaches
Net volume in survey control areas at the dune‐backed beach (PB) and bluff‐backed beach (LD) is shown between surveys (‘interval’), where the first point is the difference between 2012 and 2020 JABLTCX LiDAR surveys. Cumulative totals are shown as square markers. Water levels during the same dates are shown in grey.

Erosion rates were quantified using field methods (137Cs, sediment loading) and two landform evolution models (LEMs), SIBERIA and SSSPAM, on a grazed catchment analogous to nearby mining sites, filling the gap in field data comparisons. Model estimates aligned with field data, demonstrating both LEMs' predictive potential for erosion in grazed ...

Footholds for pioneers: How geomorphic features accelerate early marsh assembly
Abstract Ecosystem transitions from bare to vegetated states often stall at early stages, before the biogeomorphic feedbacks needed for further expansion take hold. In aquatic systems, this bottleneck is especially common where inundation and hydrodynamic conditions may impose strong abiotic filters on pioneer establishment.

Abstract Accurate three‐dimensional (3D) lake bathymetry reconstruction is critical for water resources assessment and hydrological modeling yet remains constrained by data scarcity and oversimplified geometric assumptions. To address these challenges, we propose the Geomorphologically informed deep learning (GIDL) framework for high‐resolution 3D lake

Abstract The Taruntius crater, situated between Maria Fecunditatis, Crisium, and Tranquillitatis, is characterized by a prominent bright ray system and a floor‐fractured morphology and has long been interpreted as a relatively young Eratosthenian or Copernican crater.
