Macroinvertebrate assemblages and biodiversity levels: ecological role of constructed wetlands and artificial ponds in a natural park

open access: yesJournal of Limnology, 2014
Constructed wetlands play an important role in water supply, floodwater retention and nutrient removal, at the same time allowing the restoration of lost habitat and the preservation of biodiversity.

Borrowing from the palaeolimnologists toolkit; the use of lake sediment cores in diagnosing the causes of freshwater species decline

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
Populations of freshwater species are experiencing dramatic declines globally. Tools that facilitate the diagnosis of decline and identify management solutions and/or restoration targets are thus vital.

Constructed wetlands and nature conservation

open access: yesWater Science and Technology, 1997
By reference to examples in the UK this paper examines the wildlife potential of reedbed treatment systems, both in their ability to act as pollutant buffers to protect or create downstream wetlands of conservation importance and as wildlife resources in their own right.

Scientific Opinion on the evaluation of the pest risk analysis on Pomacea insularum, the island apple snail, prepared by the Spanish Ministry of Environment and Rural and Marine Affairs

open access: yesEFSA Journal, 2012
The Panel considers the Spanish pest risk analysis (PRA) to be clear and to provide appropriate supporting evidence. However, (i) the environmental impact assessment is incomplete and (ii) the estimates for the potentially endangered area are too limited.

Wetlands as natural assets [PDF]

open access: yesHydrological Sciences Journal, 2011
Abstract As the services of wetlands are uniquely related to hydrological processes, they result in a wide range of benefits to humankind. Although this facilitates the characterization of wetlands as natural assets, there are measurement problems. Because wetland services are nearly always non-marketed, they need to be explicitly valued to determine ...

Natural wetland emissions of methylated trace elements [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2014
Natural wetlands are well known for their significant methane emissions. However, trace element emissions via biomethylation and subsequent volatilization from pristine wetlands are virtually unstudied, even though wetlands constitute large reservoirs for trace elements. Here we show that the average volatile fluxes of selenium (

Amphibian population responses to mitigation: Relative importance of wetland age and design

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2021
Wetland creation is a common practice to mitigate for the loss of natural wetlands. However, there is still uncertainty about how effectively created wetlands replace habitat provided by natural wetlands.

Are the Romanian natural protected areas properly covering the wetland? [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Annals of the Danube Delta Institute, 2020
Wetlands host an important biodiversity, provide important ecosystem services, and are threatened and vulnerable ecosystems, representing a priority for the conservation of biodiversity.
