Blue Nitrogen Follows the Fate of Tidal Wetlands
Abstract Tidal wetlands sequester carbon (C) at much higher rates per area than other ecosystems, helping to offset C emissions. The burial of organic C in tidal wetland soils, “blue C”, is tightly linked to the cycling of nitrogen (N), which is a key pollutant and limiting nutrient for many ecosystems.

Tidal Inundation Decreases Carbon Dioxide Exchange in an Irish Atlantic Saltmarsh
Abstract Despite the growing interest in carbon cycling in tidal‐wetland ecosystems we lack sufficient understanding of the degree to which saltmarsh ecosystems sequester carbon and the ecosystem dynamics of carbon dioxide (CO2) exchange, especially with tidal influence.

Sponges are celebrated heterotrophs but also key primary producers on changing coral reefs
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Trophic interactions and nutrient cycling lay at the heart of ecosystem health and biodiversity. In recent years, our understanding of these drivers has been repeatedly challenged by rapid and unanticipated climatic effects, combined with an increasing awareness that ...

Strategies for dry forest recovery: Fifteen years of Caribbean experimentation across scales
Slow recovery of degraded Caribbean dry tropical forests can be accelerated by combining herbivore removal at landscape scales with enrichment planting of rare tree species under the cover of remnant forest patches. Long‐legacy effects on soils and forest taxonomical and functional diversity require long‐term management and community engagement ...

eDNA signals improve local predictions of fish abundances in Mediterranean coastal ecosystems
This study demonstrates that integrating eDNA metabarcoding data into species distribution models can improve fish abundance predictions, especially for site‐attached and reef‐associated species. This approach provides a scalable and cost‐effective tool for monitoring, impact assessment, spatial planning and adaptive management of marine resources ...
