Essays on Science and Policy in the Bay-Delta

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2013
there is a large and complex literature that addresses the question of optimally employing science in environmental policy. That literature mostly focuses on the challenges of efficient and effective interactions; it is probably fair to say it is long on

Long-Term Trends in Summertime Habitat Suitability for Delta Smelt, Hypomesus transpacificus

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2008
The biological productivity of river-dominated estuaries is affected strongly by variation in freshwater inflow, which affects nursery habitat quality. Previous research has shown this is generally true in the upper San Francisco Estuary, California, USA;

Variation of Fish Habitat and Extent of the Low-Salinity Zone with Freshwater Flow in the San Francisco Estuary

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2013
We used the UnTRIM San Francisco Bay–Delta hydrodynamic model to examine the spatial distribution of salinity as a function of freshwater flow in the San Francisco Estuary.

Part I, Introduction: Ecology and Regional Context of Tidal Wetlands in the San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2011
This two-part special issue reviews the basic ecology of tidal wetlands in the San Francisco Estuary. Several articles highlight the well-preserved tracts of historic tidal marsh found at China Camp State Park and Rush Ranch Open Space Preserve.

Will biodiversity actions yield healthy places? A systematic review of human health outcomes associated with biodiversity‐focused urban greening

People and Nature
There is growing interest in using urban greening projects to support biodiversity. While there are many potential co‐benefits, the health outcomes resulting from biodiversity‐supporting activities have yet to be synthesized.

Patterns in Anthropogenic Nitrogen and Water Quality Leading to Phytoplankton Blooms in Urban Estuaries

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
The San Francisco Estuary (SFE) ecosystem receives anthropogenic ammonium (NH4) from agricultural runoff and sewage treatment plants and has low chlorophyll levels.

The Role of Tidal Marsh Restoration in Fish Management in the San Francisco Estuary

San Francisco Estuary and Watershed Science, 2014
  Tidal marsh restoration is an important management issue in the San Francisco Estuary (estuary). Restoration of large areas of tidal marsh is ongoing or planned in the lower estuary (up to 6,000 ha, Callaway et al. 2011).

Benthic macroinvertebrate response to estuarine emergent marsh restoration across a delta-wide environmental gradient

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Benthic invertebrates play vital roles in estuarine ecosystems, but like other taxa they have been excluded from former marshlands by diking and land use conversion.
