To Plant or Not to Plant: When can Planting Facilitate Mangrove Restoration? [PDF]

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Global change processes such as sea level rise and the increasing frequency of severe storms threaten many coastlines around the world and trigger the need for interventions to make these often densely-populated areas safer. Mangroves could be implemented in Nature-Based Flood Defense, provided that we know how to conserve and restore these ecosystems ...

Vegetated Steel Slag Substrate Constructed Wetlands can Achieve High Efficiency Simultaneous Nitrogen and Phosphorus Removal

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
Steel slag substrate constructed wetlands (SSCWs) can effectively remove phosphorus (P) from sewage through Ca-P precipitation and adsorption. Nonetheless, the disadvantages of a high pH value of the effluent and low nitrogen (N) removal efficiency limit

Trade-off between tree planting and wetland conservation in China

Nature Communications, 2022
Trade-offs between tree planting programs and wetland conservation are unclear. Here, we employ satellite-derived inundation data and a process-based land surface model (ORCHIDEE-Hillslope) to investigate the impacts of tree planting on wetland dynamics ...
