Abstract: Development of coastal New England has led to the replacement of up to 37% of salt marshes with degraded freshwater wetlands, primarily through tidal restrictions. Removing these restrictions to restore salt marsh ecology would improve… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13157-020-01294-5
Abstract: Dredged materials from navigation channel maintenance represent a potentially valuable resource for wetland creation and restoration. In the northern Chesapeake Bay, fine-grained sediments from Baltimore Harbor approach channels are transported by barge southward for creation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0209025
Abstract: Functional trait theory provides a mechanistic framework to understand change in community composition and community assembly through time and space. Despite this, trait-based approaches have seldom been used in ecological restoration. Succession theory predicts that… read more here.
