Primary Production in the Delta: Then and Now

open access: yesSan Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2016
doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2016v14iss3art1To evaluate the role of restoration in the recovery of the Delta ecosystem, we need to have clear targets and performance measures that directly assess ecosystem function.

Multitrophic responses to tidal marsh restoration: early effects of channel configuration on water quality, aquatic food web structure, and fish communities

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Tidal wetland restoration is critical for reversing habitat loss and enhancing resilience under sea‐level rise and climate variability. Dutch Slough in the San Francisco Estuary served as a living laboratory for adaptive management.

The molecular ecology of Microcystis sp. blooms in the San Francisco Estuary

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, 2017
Summary Harmful blooms of the cyanobacterium Microcystis sp. have become increasingly pervasive in the San Francisco Estuary Delta (USA) since the early 2000s and their rise has coincided with substantial decreases in several important fish species.

Investigating the efficacy of tidal wetland restoration in enhancing aquatic food web resources for native fishes

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Endangered fish species, such as Delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus), in the San Francisco Estuary are threatened by a multitude of anthropogenic stressors. Tidal wetland restoration can partially mitigate these stressors by increasing food availability of aquatic invertebrate prey, but the efficacy of restoration remains ...

Silverside gold mine? Restored tidal habitats host abundant invasive fishes in a novel California marsh (U.S.A.)

open access: yesRestoration 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 ...

The Delta as Changing Landscapes

open access: yesSan Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2016
doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.15447/sfews.2016v14iss2art9What happens at one place in a landscape influences and is influenced by what happens in other places. Consequently, management and restoration that focus on individual places may fail to recognize and
