Rapid responses of marsh birds to large‐scale tidal wetland restoration in California's Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is widely used to recover ecosystem function in modified estuaries, yet uncertainty remains about how quickly wildlife communities respond. Early trajectories are central to evaluating restoration success, guiding adaptive management, and building ecosystem resilience in engineered landscapes. Marsh birds

Hydrologic effects of tidal wetland restoration in the subsided Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta, California, United States

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration project in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta involves flooding of delta lands; however, concerns have been raised that such flooding will increase the hydraulic pressures on subsided adjacent islands and threaten levee stability.

Climate benefits of wetland restoration are constrained by slow vegetation recovery

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wetland restoration is widely used to enhance ecosystem resilience, biodiversity, and climate mitigation. However, restoring hydrology may not lead to rapid vegetation establishment or reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in severely degraded wetlands.

Long-Term Trends in Summertime Habitat Suitability for Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus

open access: yesSan Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2008
The biological productivity of river-dominated estuaries is affected strongly by variation in freshwater inflow, which affects nursery habitat quality. Previous research has shown this is generally true in the upper San Francisco Estuary, California, USA;

Characterization and Meteorological Drivers of Dust Events Over California's Central Valley

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.
Abstract Dust events in California's Central Valley pose severe risks to public health, regional air quality, and transportation. Yet, the climatology and meteorological drivers of dust events in the region are poorly characterized due to sparse monitoring and limitations of satellite observations.

Peat lands of the delta: A 26-year study shows disappearing surface of islands is result of combined factors

open access: yesCalifornia Agriculture, 1949
The peat soils of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta are disappearing at a measurable rate—averaging slightly more than three inches a year—and there is no indication that the rate is decreasing.
