Estimating the greenhouse gas emission abatement potential of tidal introduction in Australia
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetlands store higher amounts of organic carbon and sequester it at higher rates in soil relative to terrestrial ecosystems. However, they have been extensively drained, excavated, or modified, often to allow agriculture. Restoring degraded coastal wetlands can be an important contribution to climate change mitigation by ...

Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

The measurement of seagrass photosynthesis using pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry and its practical applications, specifically in regard to transplantation [PDF]
Photosynthetic activity of three seagrass species, Posidonia sinuosa Cambridge et Kuo, Posidonia australis Hook. f. and Halophila ovalis (R. Br.) Hook., growing in Cockburn Sound, Western Australia, was assessed using an underwater pulse amplitude ...

Kelp‐boulder transplants for habitat restoration
Abstract Introduction Degraded habitats present a major barrier to the survival and recovery of threatened marine species, particularly where structural or biogenic complexity has been lost, and natural regeneration ability is uncertain. Despite growing interest in habitat restoration, techniques rarely deliver rapid improvements at the necessary ...

Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects are rapidly expanding in size, complexity, and frequency globally, driven by international agreements and an increased recognition of the efficacy of actions for biodiversity. Upscaling restoration will increasingly necessitate the restoration of multiple physically or functionally connected ...

What do you mean, “seascape restoration”? Definitions and global practice
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine ecosystems is scaling up, fuelled by the growing recognition of the ecological and socio‐economic benefits sustained by nature and the need to recover what has been lost or degraded. Parallel to this, there is an increasing trend toward “multi‐species,” “multi‐habitat,” and “seascape” restoration projects ...

ABSTRACT As the commercial development of aquaculture grows, assessing the impact of culture gear on local marine communities becomes increasingly imperative. Gear associated with off‐bottom oyster aquaculture introduces artificial structure to areas that would otherwise be devoid of structural complexity and heterogeneity.

Can Repeated Reductive Genome Evolution Across Archaeplastida Explain Volatility in Traits?
Genome evolution in Archaeplastida is often framed around gene gains and increasing complexity. Yet ancestral reconstructions reveal recurrent genome contraction, with ancestors frequently harboring larger gene repertoires than descendants. Across red algae, land‐plant ancestry, and embryophyte diversification, repeated expansion and reduction cycles ...

The decline of seagrass meadows is a continuing global concern, and seed‐based restoration provides a scalable approach to recovering lost and degraded meadows. Such approaches require large quantities of seed to be collected, processed, and often stored for months until deployment.

BIOCHEMICAL AND MOLECULAR TOOLS TO MONITOR Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile MEADOWS [PDF]
Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile is the dominant endemic seagrass in the Mediterranean Sea, where it forms highly productive meadows. Worldwide seagrass monitoring is an issue of increasing interest in research, management and policies, due to the ...
