Abstract The global wastewater surge demands constructed wetlands (CWs) to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG); yet pollutant removal interactions and sustainability of small CWs are unclear. This study synthesizes CW data from 364 sites worldwide. efficiency organic matter nutrient pollutants had a 75th percentile 68.8–84.0%. Bivariate analysis found consistent synergies between removals, lasting 3–12 years. optimal thresholds for maintaining synergistic effects were as...

To improve the success of expanding ecosystem restoration efforts, technical guiding-standards are being developed in many nations. Whether these protocols have been well adopted to guide practices remains unknown, especially developing countries where policies evolve rapidly balance socioeconomic development with restoration. By conducting text semantic mining analyses, we reveal widespread discrepancies between China's coastal and over past four decades. Over 60% executed projects had no...

Abstract The extent by which human activities create an inroad for the invasion of exotic plant species and mechanisms that drive a disturbed ecosystem's resistance to is largely unknown. We investigated salt marsh resists cordgrass ( Spartina alterniflora ) two key factors: anthropogenic disturbance ditching herbivory native crab Helice tientsinensis . In northern China, although abiotic (i.e., hyper‐stresses) inhibited landward high marshes, our transplant experiments showed created...

Understanding the mechanisms by which geomorphic structures affect habitat invasibility mediating various abiotic and biotic factors is essential for predicting whether these may provide spatial windows of opportunity to facilitate range-expansion invasive species in salt marshes. Many studies have linked landscape features such as tidal channels invasion exotic plants, but role channel meanders (i.e., convex concave sides) regulating Spartina alterniflora remains unclear. Here, we examined...

Abstract Designing effective restoration strategies is a priority in recovering salt marsh plants. Hydrological connectivity main driver underpinning the success of plant recovery process and can regulate life‐history process‐based strategies. However, relationship between these unclear. Plant needs to go through whole process, from seed adult. Common are addition (SA) or seedling transplantation (ST), which start germination growth stage. Besides two strategies, another strategy starting...

Understanding how geomorphic landscape features affect physical habitat conditions is essential for predicting if such may act as conduits facilitating invasive species expansion in coastal ecosystems. Although the effects of various abiotic and biotic factors on plant invasion salt marshes have been well studied, little known about impact tidal channels invasion. Here, we examined bottom-up determinants lateral Spartina alterniflora channel margins different elevational marsh zones: low,...

In recent years, Fenhe River Basin (FRB) wetlands have been facing severe challenges due to climate change and human activities. It was of great significance understand the dynamic changes FRB their driving factors for ecological protection. Based on land use data, runoff, rainfall GDP data from 1980 2020, evolution characteristics wetland pattern in were analyzed. The results showed that types mainly included paddy, reservoir, river, beach marsh. Among them, natural accounted 72.46 %,...

Land-use changes in coastal wetlands have led to a worldwide degradation of marine ecosystems and loss the ecological services they provide. Ecological offsetting is popular strategy an effective mitigation measure for that been degraded, damaged, or destroyed critical habitats where natural recovery hindered. However, current understanding theory practice extremely limited many developing countries. We conducted review projects studies China 1979–2017 explore application limitations theory....

The invasion of smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora Loisel.) has greatly threatened China's coastal salt marshes, yet how geomorphic landscape features, such as tidal channel meanders, influence processes remains unclear. We found that lower hydrodynamic disturbance, bed shear stress, and higher propagule pressure triggered by eddies due to the convex structure meanders facilitated seedling establishment subsequent growth, whereas concave side considerably inhibited invasion. Our...
