Nonlinear landscape responses of salt marsh vegetation to sediment decline and implications for coastal wetland management in the Yellow River Delta

Ecological Indicators
Salt marsh wetlands in the Yellow River Delta are highly sensitive to changes in riverine water and sediment supply, which are increasingly influenced by large-scale river regulation and coastal environmental change.

Long‐term study reveals top‐down effect of crabs on a California salt marsh

Ecosphere, 2021
Consumers can structure plant communities and may function as keystone species or ecosystem engineers. In salt marshes, the prevailing paradigm has shifted in recent decades from nearly complete focus on bottom‐up processes to inclusion of top‐down ...

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

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 ...

Stratigraphic analyses of late-quaternary sediments from S’Albufera, North East Mallorca, Spain [PDF]

, 1995
1. Much of the environmental history of the western Mediterranean has been inferred from records obtained throughout a wider region. Very little work has been conducted on Mallorca.

Silverside gold mine? Restored tidal habitats host abundant invasive fishes in a novel California marsh (U.S.A.)

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 ...

Physiology of purple sulfur bacteria forming macroscopic aggregates in Great Sippewissett Salt Marsh, Massachusetts [PDF]

, 1993
Purple bacterial aggregates found in tidal pools of Great Sippewissett Salt Marsh (Falmouth, Cape Cod, MA) were investigated in order to elucidate the ecological significance of cell aggregation. Purple sulfur bacteria were the dominant microorganisms in

Salt Marsh Ecogeomorphic Processes and Dynamics

, 2021
Salt marshes are considered some of the most biologically diverse and ecologically important regions on Earth, containing thousands of species of robust salt-tolerant plants, crabs, fish, mollusks, zooplankton, algae, and bacteria.

Nursery pot size, not planting density, affects vegetation performance in a restored semi‐arid wetland

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 ...
