The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract The 1430s were characterized by extreme weather conditions, food and fodder shortages, and high mortalities among animals and humans, although the severity of events and their consequences in England have received limited attention. The economic downturn and the depressed customary land market in this decade marked the beginning of the Great ...

Pickering Brook Salt Marsh Restoration - Phase II [PDF]
, 2005 In the early 1900’s, the majority of coastal salt marshes in New England were ditched as part of an aggressive mosquito control program. In an attempt to eradicate mosquito-breeding habitat, open water areas were drained by a series of ditches excavated ...

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...

Ibis, EarlyView.The importance of considering historical data in developing conservation and restoration measures for individual species and for wider ecological restoration has been pointed out by recent reviews but often remains neglected in practice. This paper provides a case study illustrating the issue through a review of the former breeding distribution of the ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Comparative Analysis of 5-band and 10-band Multispectral Drone Imagery for Salt Marsh Vegetation Mapping [PDF]
ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information SciencesMultispectral drone sensors enable fine-scale ecological mapping, but added bands can inflate processing costs. We evaluated the MicaSense RedEdge-MX Red and Blue cameras (5 bands each) versus the Dual Camera System (10 bands) for vegetation mapping in ...
