Drone lidar-derived surface complexity metrics as indicators of intertidal oyster reef condition

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) generate structurally complex reef systems that offer diverse ecosystem services. However, there is limited understanding of how reef structure translates into reef condition.

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Evidence of exceptional oyster‐reef resilience to fluctuations in sea level [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2017
AbstractEcosystems at the land–sea interface are vulnerable to rising sea level. Intertidal habitats must maintain their surface elevations with respect to sea level to persist via vertical growth or landward retreat, but projected rates of sea‐level rise may exceed the accretion rates of many biogenic habitats.

Entering the Era of Directly Supporting Society With Observation‐Based Ocean Acidification Data

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Ocean acidification is a growing concern for many nations around the world. However, our capacity to monitor changes in carbonate chemistry with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, has until now, been limited, which has impeded effective action and decision‐making at international, national, and regional levels.

Biosensors for Biotoxins Detection and Monitoring

Advanced Sensor Research, Volume 5, Issue 6, June 2026.
This review examines state‐of‐the‐art biosensing platforms for biotoxin detection, including antibody‐, aptamer‐, CRISPR‐, nanopore‐, whole cells‐ and MIP‐based sensors. It highlights advances in ultra‐sensitive detection, real‐matrix validation in food and water, and multiplexed analysis, and discusses how the integration with machine learning ...

Influence of habitat complexity in structuring species-specific interactions and trophic linkages on oyster reefs of southeastern North Carolina [PDF]

, 2009
Species interactions influencing the strength of trophic linkages play a key role in structuring communities. Although the importance of these interactions has been recognized, currently there are relatively few studies characterizing the role of habitat

DataSheet_1_Hydrodynamic and sediment dynamic impact of human engineering activity on Liyashan oyster reefs, China.pdf

, 2022
As human activity increases, coastal ecosystems are becoming increasingly vulnerable to a range of challenges. Oyster reefs are coastal ecosystems that provide habitats for a diverse range of marine species while also purifying water and providing ...

Hurricane impacts on oyster reef habitat in a large, wind-driven estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Coastal ecosystems vary in their resistance and resilience to the frequency, intensity, structural characteristics, and path of tropical cyclones. The successive passages of Hurricanes Florence and Dorian, and Tropical Storm Michael during the 2018 and ...

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
