The plant ecology of Miranda wetland: Restoration options [PDF]

, 2014
Wetlands are increasingly recognised and valued. Communities are accepting the challenges of restoring these severely degraded ecosystems. This study discusses the problems and opportunities associated with restoring Miranda wetland, that forms part of ...

Can thin-lipped mullet directly exploit the primary and detritic production of European macrotidal salt marshes? [PDF]

, 2002
Juveniles and adults (>100 mm) of Liza ramada colonize macrotidal salt marsh creeks of Mont Saint-Michel bay (France)between March and November, during spring tide floods (43% of the tides) and return to coastal waters during the ebb.

High Spatial Resolution Remote Sensing for Salt Marsh Mapping and Change Analysis at Fire Island National Seashore

Remote Sensing, 2019
Salt marshes are changing due to natural and anthropogenic stressors such as sea level rise, nutrient enrichment, herbivory, storm surge, and coastal development. This study analyzes salt marsh change at Fire Island National Seashore (FIIS), a nationally

High and dry: the persistence of diverse coastal marsh communities depends on available upland area and connection to surrounding waters

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 ...

Spartina anglica population and environmental studies within the Solent salt marsh system

, 2010
The thesis examines the possible causes of decline of Spartina anglica marshes along the south coast of Britain with emphasis on the Solent marshes. The study shows that although there may be some genotypic differences between S.

Sediment dynamics and vegetation resilience: A case study on the tidal flats in the Yangtze Delta

Applied Ocean Research
Salt marshes are among the most resilient systems in coastal environments, playing a key role in resisting rising sea level through sediment accretion and mitigating the pressures of climate change.

Long‐term effects of annual mowing on plant diversity, community composition, and temporal stability in wet grasslands

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wet grasslands and fens are biodiversity‐rich ecosystems whose structure and functioning are shaped by disturbance, productivity, and hydrological conditions. Their persistence depends on management. Although mowing is widely used to maintain these habitats, its long‐term effects on species diversity and community composition ...

Self-Organization and Vegetation Collapse in Salt Marsh Ecosystems [PDF]

, 2005
Complexity theory predicts that local feedback processes may strongly affect the organization of ecosystems on larger spatial scales. Whether complexity leads to increased resilience and stability or to increased vulnerability and criticality remains one

Monitoring Impact of Salt-Marsh Vegetation Characteristics on Sedimentation : an Outlook for Nature-Based Flood Protection

, 2021
Salt marshes can protect coastlines against flooding by attenuating wave energy and enhancing shoreline stabilization. However, salt-marsh functioning is threatened by human influences and sea level rise. Although it is known that protection services are

Salt marsh carbon stock estimation using deep learning with Sentinel-1 SAR of the Yangtze River estuary, China

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Salt marshes are pivotal in the global carbon cycle, serving as significant contributors to the blue carbon sink. Accurately estimating carbon stock in salt marshes relies on precise vegetation classification. Here, we developed the Salt Marsh Vegetation
