An expanded fish-based index of biotic integrity for Great Lakes coastal wetlands
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Environmental Monitoring and Assessment"
DOI: 10.1007/s10661-018-6950-6
Abstract: Biotic indicators are useful for assessing ecosystem health because the structure of resident communities generally reflects abiotic conditions integrated over time. We used fish data collected over 5Â years for 470 Great Lakes coastal wetlands to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11273-017-9537-z
Abstract: Breeding colonies of black terns (Chlidonias niger) have become increasingly rare in U.S. Great Lakes coastal wetlands since the mid-twentieth century, with an almost 90% decline in the number of active colony sites since 1991.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-019-01253-9
Abstract: Coastline changes caused by anthropogenic and natural influences inevitably alter coastal wetland groundwater levels. In this study, we apply Visual MODFLOW (VMOD) to assess the influence of different zonal coastline types (e.g., accretion, erosion, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-021-01443-4
Abstract: Coastal wetlands provide a series of ecosystem services, including flood risk reduction. However, the flood risk reduction from such a complex ecosystem is dependent on incoming extreme hurricane-driven hydrodynamic and wave conditions. This study develops… read more here.

Ecological pervious concrete in revetment and restoration of coastal Wetlands: A review
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Construction and Building Materials"
DOI: 10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2021.124590
Abstract: Abstract Impermeable cement in revetment walls interferes with the Earth's hydrologic cycle and impedes substance exchange between the sea and land. Ecological pervious concrete (EPC) could be used for ecological revetment. EPC has a complex… read more here.
