Diagnostic species are crucial for the functioning of plant associations in inland salt marshes
Scientific ReportsSalt marsh vegetation is considered unique and valuable and has been legally protected in Europe for years but is still declining. Its protection is related to vegetation syntaxonomical units.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Field‐based evaluation of glass cullet as a supplementary sediment source for coastal restoration
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.There is an ever‐increasing demand for sand to support projects like beach nourishment and dune restoration, but dredging and mining sand causes environmental damage. Demonstrating the environmental and ecological compatibility of crushed and ground glass known as cullet to support coastal restoration projects could simultaneously divert waste from ...

The Effectiveness of Shell Bag Restoration in Enhancing Salt Marsh Expansion in Coastal Georgia
DiversitySalt marshes are intertidal ecosystems that provide valuable services like wave attenuation, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration. Unfortunately, due to a combination of factors linked to global climate warming and increased coastal development ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Novel ecosystems, where environmental conditions have been fundamentally altered from a historic norm, require nontraditional approaches to restoration. Suisun Marsh, located within California's San Francisco Estuary (SFE), is a novel, brackish water wetland complex, where managers have begun restoring tidal connectivity to ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration often involves planting nursery‐grown potted plants to accelerate vegetation development, particularly when stressful conditions or insufficient source material inhibit natural recruitment. Under these conditions, planting more densely or larger, more developed plants may increase vegetation survival ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Sea‐level‐rise and alterations to natural hydrology have contributed to coastal land loss. To combat coastal land loss and maintain the ecosystem services provided by marshes, marsh creation has been broadly implemented. Marsh creation projects can be performed in conjunction with the construction of elevated terrestrial ridges that seek to mimic ...
