Vegetal Infrastructure: Rwanda's Eucalyptus Boom and the Material Politics of Tree Planting as a ‘Nature‐Based Solution’

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This article analyses the political ecology of Rwanda's eucalyptus boom, situating it as a site of tension within a global push towards ‘nature‐based solutions’. It develops the concept of vegetal infrastructure, demonstrating how certain tree species become legible to global environmental governance while making local social ...

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Location and reef size drive oyster reef restoration success

Restoration Ecology
Optimizing habitat restoration success requires understanding how restoration location and design enhance the persistence and function of a restored habitat. Particular attention to the configuration of structure and its interaction with landscape‐scale processes is critical for enhancing the habitat value of restored areas.

Oyster Reefs at Risk and Recommendations for Conservation, Restoration, and Management

BioScience, 2011
Native oyster reefs once dominated many estuaries, ecologically and economically. Centuries of resource extraction exacerbated by coastal degradation have pushed oyster reefs to the brink of functional extinction worldwide. We examined the condition of oyster reefs across 144 bays and 44 ecoregions; our comparisons of past with present abundances ...

Life Cycle Assessments of Bivalve Aquaculture: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) of bivalve aquaculture systems indicates generally low environmental impacts across mussel, oyster, and clam production. For a functional unit of 1 t live weight bivalves at farm gate, median impacts were 385 kg CO2‐eq for climate change, 0.25 kg PO43−‐eq for eutrophication, 0.014 kg N‐eq for marine eutrophication, 1.86 kg ...

Interactions between oyster reefs and adjacent sandflats : effects on microphytobenthos and sediment characteristics [PDF]

, 2009
Oyster reef restoration is currently receiving increased attention as a means of enhancing water quality and fisheries. Oyster reefs not only directly provide habitat for fish and invertebrates, but also may indirectly affect adjacent sandflat areas ...

Influences of the biotic and structural components of Crassostrea virginica on the oyster reef community. [PDF]

, 2015
The hard, complex reef structure created by the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, provides refuge and habitat that protects many organisms, allowing them to settle, survive, and spawn.
