Hydrologic effects of tidal wetland restoration in the subsided Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta, California, United States

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration project in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta involves flooding of delta lands; however, concerns have been raised that such flooding will increase the hydraulic pressures on subsided adjacent islands and threaten levee stability.

Climate benefits of wetland restoration are constrained by slow vegetation recovery

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Wetland restoration is widely used to enhance ecosystem resilience, biodiversity, and climate mitigation. However, restoring hydrology may not lead to rapid vegetation establishment or reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in severely degraded wetlands.

Evaluating the state of constructed infills in the Venice Lagoon through remote satellite imagery

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Salt‐marsh restoration is used to counter wetland loss, strengthen ecosystem resilience, and support dredged‐sediment reuse. In the Venice Lagoon, 63 constructed infills have been realized since the late 1980s, yet their eco‐geomorphological development and restoration performance remain incompletely assessed. Objectives The study

A Natural History of ‘Annoyances’: Knowing Weeds and Weeding Knowledge in the Early Royal Society and its ‘Georgicall Committee’

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seventeenth‐century virtuosi often figured themselves as epistemic weeders, grubbing up rank thickets of accumulated error. In this article, I argue that these metaphors were unnerved by the shifting status of weeds—ostensibly unwanted plants from the margins of cultivated space, unploughed land or the disturbed soils between growing crops—in ...

Rethinking microtidal systems: Tidal signatures in the fluvial deposits of the Po River, Italy

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In microtidally influenced rivers, tides are generally assumed to leave virtually no signatures in the sedimentary record. However, this hypothesis has been surprisingly poorly tested using modern river analogues, which provide an opportunity to assess whether sedimentary signatures of microtidal regimes can develop in rivers that lack ...
