Restoration of salt marshes [PDF]
, 2006 This thesis focuses on the restoration of salt marshes in north-west Europe. Salt marshes are important habitats that need to be conserved. Not only do they provide a suitable environment for different plant and animal species, many of which are ...

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Circular Innovations in Complex Systems: A Blueprint of Four Design Archetypes
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Circular innovations (CI), defined as the redesign of products, services or practices to minimise waste, reduce resource use and regenerate natural systems, are essential for advancing the circular economy. Despite growing recognition, their deployment in systems of linked parts with unpredictable interactions (complex systems) remains limited

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract The sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has been used as a model organism in developmental biology studies for many years. This estuarine species has the notable capacity to regenerate its full body plan from small pieces throughout life. Nematostella have been described as having a great degree of cellular plasticity.

Ecography, EarlyView.Species with small ranges tend to occur with other range‐limited species in biodiversity hotspots, a pattern that has motivated both macroecological theory and practical conservation planning. However, not all range‐limited species follow this pattern.

Greenhouse gas flux with reflooding of a drained salt marsh soil [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Salt marshes are highly effective carbon (C) sinks and bury more C per square meter annually than any other ecosystem. Reclamation and anthropogenic impacts, however, have resulted in extensive losses of salt marshes.

The multiple hit model of infantile and epileptic spasms: The 2025 update
Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Infantile and epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy manifesting with epileptic spasms and poor neurodevelopmental outcomes. There is an urgent need for the development of more effective and tolerated therapies.

Controls on soil organic carbon stocks in tidal marshes along an estuarine salinity gradient [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2016 Tidal marshes are sedimentary environments and are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth. As a consequence they have the potential to reduce atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations by sequestering organic carbon (OC).

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

The Effectiveness of Shell Bag Restoration in Enhancing Salt Marsh Expansion in Coastal Georgia
DiversitySalt marshes are intertidal ecosystems that provide valuable services like wave attenuation, nutrient cycling, and carbon sequestration. Unfortunately, due to a combination of factors linked to global climate warming and increased coastal development ...
