The former distribution of White‐tailed Eagles in Iberia, the Mediterranean and the Middle East: a case study of the importance of understanding historical distribution in informing current conservation and restoration interventions

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 ...

Salt-marsh processes: A Review [PDF]

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 1993
Abstract Salt marshes are found between the high tide and the near-shore sublittoral zones along the coasts and up estuaries of continents, primarily in the temperate zone. They flourish in regions where much silt is carried to the coastal regions by rivers or where geological processes favor erosion and suspension of silt.

Spawning behaviour between endemic delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and non‐native Wakasagi (H. nipponensis) in the San Francisco estuary

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the San Francisco Estuary, non‐native Wakasagi Hypomesus nipponensis hybridize with endemic and endangered Delta Smelt H. transpacificus, and all wild‐caught hybrids have a maternal Wakasagi parent. However, the mechanisms that facilitate or impede hybridization and explain sex‐biased hybrid asymmetry between these two species remain ...

Drought and salinity stress remodel Asian rice (Oryza sativa) leaf development through cell‐type‐specific regulatory programs

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Osmotic stressors induce developmental and physiological changes in rice (Oryza sativa) seedlings, which are modulated by cell‐type‐specific gene expression and regulatory networks. We exposed plants to two levels of drought and salinity stress and measured the effects of these stressors on developing leaves by measuring physiological traits, ion ...

Grazing effects on soil organic carbon stocks of German salt marshes along the Baltic Sea and North Sea coast

In order to assess grazing effects in soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks, three distinct salt marsh types were sampled: Baltic Sea salt marshes, North Sea mainland salt marshes and North Sea island salt marshes.

Field‐grown coastal dune plants exhibit similar survival, growth, and biomass in recycled glass substrate and natural beach sand

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 ...

Latitudinal trends in the biomass allocation of invasive Spartina alterniflora: implications for salt marsh adaptation to climate warming

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionBiomass allocation between aboveground and belowground pools in salt marshes has distinct effects on salt marsh stability, and is influenced by climate warming and reproductive investment.

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.

Oribatid mites (Acari: Oribatida) from the coastal region of Portugal. II.

Soil Organisms, 2009
Two known species of the genus Zachvatkinibates were found in marine salt-marshes of Portugal and are redescribed in this paper. Zachvatkinibates quadrivertex (Halbert, 1920) is distributed in the lower tidal level of salt marshes from northern to ...

Massive Sea-Level-Driven Marsh Migration and Implications for Coastal Resilience along the Texas Coast

Remote Sensing
Tidal salt marshes offer crucial ecosystem services in the form of carbon sequestration, fisheries, property and recreational values, and protection from storm surges, and are therefore considered one of the most valuable and fragile ecosystems worldwide,
