Wetland restoration in the East Dongting Lake effectively increased waterbird diversity by improving habitat quality

open access: yes, 2021
Wetland restoration is an effective way to recover degraded wetlands worldwide. The Dongting Lake wetland, an important wintering habitat for waterbirds, has suffered considerable degradation due to climate change and human disturbance during the last ...

Plant and Soil Enzyme Activities Regulate CO2 Efflux in Alpine Peatlands After 5 Years of Simulated Extreme Drought

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Increasing attention has been given to the impact of extreme drought stress on ecosystem ecological processes. Ecosystem respiration (Re) and soil respiration (Rs) play a significant role in the regulation of the carbon (C) balance because they are two ...

Multiple methods confirm wetland restoration improves ecosystem services

open access: yesEcosystems and People, 2021
Global wetland loss has reduced biodiversity and ecosystem services. These declines have inspired many landholders to restore wetlands, but the success of these efforts remains unclear, in part, because quantifying ecosystem services requires diverse ...

The important role of wetland conservation and restoration in nitrogen removal across European river basins

open access: yesNature Water
In Europe, excessive inputs of nitrogen threaten ecosystems and public health. Wetlands act as natural filters, removing excess nutrients and protecting downstream waters.

Restoration of Ailing Wetlands

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2012
It is widely held that humankind's destructive tendencies when exploiting natural resources leads to irreparable harm to the environment. Yet, this thinking runs counter to evidence that many ecological systems damaged by severe natural environmental disturbances (e.g., hurricanes) can restore themselves via processes of natural recovery.

Coastal Wetland Restoration Effects on Carbon Dynamics: A Groundwater Perspective

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics
Coastal wetlands are critical components of the global carbon cycle, yet many have been degraded by drainage and land‐use changes, releasing stored carbon and exacerbating climate change.

Catchment landscape components alter relationships between discharge and stream water nutrient ratios in the Xitiao River Basin China

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
The terrestrial environment of a watershed is a source of potential carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) exports, and the hydrological regime provides the mechanism to turn the potential exports into reality when water is available.
