The Wadden Sea Region: Towards a science for sustainable development [PDF]

Ocean & Coastal Management, 2012
The Wadden Sea is one of the largest intertidal areas in the world and has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its unique natural features. Major changes in the morphology and ecology of the Wadden Sea over the past millennium resulted from increasing anthropogenic influences such as coastal protection, land claim from the

From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

Ecography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

A new perspective for revealing ‘hidden’ interactions in ecological networks

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Ecological network models are essential for developing and quantifying ecosystem‐based management strategies. Unobserved species interactions alter the interpretation of structural and functional characteristics of the ecosystem being studied.

Compound-specific stable isotope analysis of amino acid nitrogen reveals detrital support of microphytobenthos in the Dutch Wadden Sea benthic food web

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The Wadden Sea is the world’s largest intertidal ecosystem and provides vital food resources for a large number of migratory bird and fish species during seasonal stopovers.

Weight Loss With GLP‐1 Agonists in Nondiabetic Adults: Systematic Review and Network Meta‐Analysis

Obesity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Two glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) (semaglutide and liraglutide) and one dual agonist (tirzepatide) are FDA‐approved for weight loss in adults with obesity without type 2 diabetes mellitus. This systematic review and network meta‐analysis aims to compare the efficacy of these agents against each other.

Revisiting the Paleo Elbe Valley: Reconstruction of the Holocene, Sedimentary Development on Basis of High-Resolution Grain Size Data and Shallow Seismics

Geosciences, 2020
The Paleo Elbe Valley is the most prominent subsurface structure in the southern North Sea. During the Weichselian (marine isotope stage (MIS) 2), the valley traversed the exposed sea floor and drained the southern margin of the Scandinavian ice sheet ...

Wadden Sea Specific Eutrophication Criteria. Wadden Sea Ecosystem No. 14

, 2001
In this 2001 report, the results of a literature study and data analysis aiming at developing Wadden Sea-specific eutrophication criteria are presented. The study was necessary to specify the trilateral Ecological Target "to achieve a Wadden Sea which can be regarded as a eutrophication Non-Problem Area", which was adopted at the 7th Trilateral ...

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...
