Economic Evaluation and Systematic Review of Salt Marsh Restoration Projects at a Global Scale

Jiang-Jing Wang et al.

Summary: Restoring degraded and damaged salt marshes is crucial for coastal wetlands management worldwide. Evaluating the economic output of salt marsh restoration is important for understanding the gaps in knowledge related to conservation activities and economic benefits. Most restoration projects are located near major cities and rivers, and techniques vary depending on regional disturbance factors. Despite the high costs, most projects can recover their expenses within a finite time, especially large-scale restoration efforts.

Systematic assessments of tidal wetlands loss and degradation in Shanghai, China: From the perspectives of area, composition and quality

Shiwei Lin et al.

Summary: Shanghai's tidal wetlands had a relatively low net loss rate, but the composition changed dramatically, with a significant reduction in native ecosystems. The actual degradation and loss caused by driving forces were higher than the maximum area of tidal wetlands in the four time periods. The average EHI value suggested that Shanghai's remaining tidal wetlands were in moderate health status.

Spatial cost-benefit analysis of blue restoration and factors driving net benefits globally

Phoebe J. Stewart-Sinclair et al.

Summary: A global cost-benefit analysis shows that restoring coral reef, mangrove, saltmarsh, and seagrass ecosystems can have positive net benefits, with saltmarsh having the highest net benefits. Restoration in middle income nations yields higher net benefits compared to high income nations, and net benefit varies with restoration technique, ecosystem service produced, and project duration within an ecosystem type.

Rebound in China's coastal wetlands following conservation and restoration

Xinxin Wang et al.

Summary: The coastal zone of China has seen significant increases in population, economy, and urbanization since the early 1980s. A study analyzing Landsat images from 1984 to 2018 found a decrease in coastal wetland area between 1984 and 2011, with a substantial increase in saltmarsh area and stable tidal flat area since 2012. These findings are crucial for improving coastal wetland management and sustainability in China.

Applying systematic conservation planning to improve the allocation of restoration actions at multiple spatial scales

Ben L. Gilby et al.

Summary: Ecological restoration is being upscaled to larger spatial scales, but strategic planning and implementation at local scales are essential to maximize ecological benefits and reduce costs. The use of systematic frameworks is crucial for optimizing restoration investments globally at multiple scales.

Accretion-erosion conversion in the subaqueous Yangtze Delta in response to fluvial sediment decline

Hua Long Luan et al.

Summary: The study observed a transition from net accretion to net erosion in the Yangtze mouth bar and prodelta over the past decades. The critical sediment discharge for net accretion was estimated to be around 218 Mt yr(-1), but the entire study area has now converted to net erosion due to fluctuations in fluvial sediment supply.

Priority areas for restoring ecosystem services to enhance human well-being in a dry forest

Thayna L. da S. Rabelo Costa et al.

Summary: Habitat destruction reduces biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, endangering ecosystem services essential for human well-being. Restoring ecosystems with native species can provide long-term natural resource supply for vulnerable populations. By estimating supply and demand for ecosystem services and using a prioritization tool, the study emphasizes the importance of including ecosystem services in ecological restoration, especially in dry regions with vulnerable populations.

Ecosystem health assessment based on ecological integrity and ecosystem services demand in the Middle Reaches of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, China

Zhenzhen Pan et al.

Summary: This study proposed an improved method for ecosystem health assessment, taking into account ecological integrity and ecosystem services demand, including indicators such as ES supply-demand ratio. The results indicated that the ES supply-demand ratio objectively measures the status of ecosystem services, with urbanization showing a significant negative correlation with the ecosystem health index.

Success of coastal wetlands restoration is driven by sediment availability

Zezheng Liu et al.

Summary: Coastal wetlands restored by Nature-based Solutions can trap more sediments than natural ones, and their efficiency is mainly determined by sediment supply, according to a meta-analysis of studies globally. The effectiveness of these restoration projects is primarily driven by sediment availability, not by wetland elevation, tidal range, local rates of sea-level rise, and significant wave height. Nature-based Solutions can mitigate coastal wetland vulnerability to sea-level rise, but are effective only in coastal locations where abundant sediment supply is available.
