Long‐term demographic study reveals stabilizing mechanisms of salt marsh plants under climate change
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Despite its critical importance for biodiversity conservation, population persistence in multiple habitats under climate change has rarely been evaluated using long‐term demographic data.

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.

Tidal flushing restores the physiological condition of fish residing in degraded salt marshes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Roads, bridges, and dikes constructed across salt marshes can restrict tidal flow, degrade habitat quality for nekton, and facilitate invasion by non-native plants including Phragmites australis. Introduced P. australis contributes to marsh accretion and

Biogeomorphically driven salt pan formation in Sarcocornia-dominated salt-marshes [PDF]
, 2015 Salt-marshes are under increasing threat, particularly from sea-level rise and increased wave action associated with climate change. The development and stability of these valuable habitats largely depend on complex interactions between biotic and ...

Milder winters alleviate seasonal challenges for a migratory goose facing Arctic warming
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.By combining extensive body mass records with population‐wide migration counts spanning several decades, this study uncovers long‐term improvements in body condition associated with progressively milder winters, alongside earlier spring departure in an Arctic migrant, highlighting the importance of the full annual cycle in determining species ...

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts
Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.First multi‐season analysis linking cumulative duration and habitat selection to human modification in two declining shorebirds. A total of 160 cumulative duration was identified at four periods for two species. Longer cumulative duration correlate with higher human modification in coastal wetlands during northward migration and winter.
