Salt marshes along the coast of The Netherlands
Hydrobiologia, 1993 The area of salt marshes does no longer increase. The recent erosion coincides with a rise on MHT-level in the last 25 years. Despite the decrease in area, sedimentation continues, especially in the lower salt marsh, which acts as a sink of nitrogen. Assimilation and mineralization of nitrogen are in balance in most plant communities along the gradient

Multivariate model-based exploration of ecological niche in plants communities of natural and artificial salt marshes of the Venice Lagoon [PDF]
openEcological differences between natural and artificial saltmarshes in the Venice Lagoon were investigated over several months through field sampling, involving the assessment of vegetation coverage, redox potential, sediment granulometry, and altitude.

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 ...

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 ...

Journal of Marine Science and EngineeringAlthough climate warming affects photosynthetic carbon sequestration in coastal wetland plants, the seasonality of this effect has not been assessed. We investigated the growth traits and photosynthetic properties of Phragmites australis by using open ...

Biogeomorphology of salt marshes [PDF]
, 2021 The coastal zone is the most densely populated area globally and economic activity is high. 70% of the world’s megacities is located in this area, and the population is still growing. However, coastal protection is a prerequisite to work and live in this area, especially with predicted sea level rise and extreme storms becoming more frequent and severe.

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 ...
