Cordgrass Spartina alterniflora acts as a key carbon source to support macrozoobenthos in the salt marsh and nearby mudflat communities

Sixuan He et al.

Summary: Exotic cordgrass Spartina can influence the trophic interaction and functioning of coastal ecosystems by altering the availability or palatability of carbon sources utilized by macrozoobenthos. This study showed that the trophic contribution of Spartina alterniflora to macrozoobenthos in both dense Spartina area and adjacent tidal bare mudflat was similar, with Spartina acting as the most important carbon source. It demonstrated that Spartina can benefit the adjacent bare mudflat by supplying detritus as the carbon source for macrozoobenthos, which is favorable for maintaining the biodiversity and trophic dynamics of macrozoobenthic communities in coastal ecosystems.

Exotic Spartina alterniflora invasion enhances sediment N-loss while reducing N retention in mangrove wetland

Bin Wang et al.

Summary: The wide and rapid invasion of Spartina alterniflora threatens the sustainability of coastal wetlands in China and negatively impacts sediment biogeochemical processes. This study investigated the effects of this invasive species on sediment nitrate reduction processes in mangrove wetlands. The results showed significant spatial differences in denitrification, dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium, and their contributions among different plant communities. Spartina alterniflora invasion increased sediment nitrogen loss while reducing nitrogen retention in mangrove wetlands, posing a threat to their buffer function and nitrogen pools protection in estuarine and coastal ecosystems.

Seasonality and assembly of soil microbial communities in coastal salt marshes invaded by a perennial grass

Guangliang Zhang et al.

Summary: Plant invasion has a profound impact on microbial-driven processes in the ecosystem, but little is known about the seasonality of soil microbial communities and their assembly under plant invasion. This study examined coastal salt marshes in the Yellow River Estuary, North China, and characterized the bacterial and fungal communities and their seasonal variance using metabarcoding sequencing. The results showed strong seasonal variances in microbial communities, but plant invasion reduced the seasonal variation strength of soil bacteria. Soil pH was found to be the key abiotic factor driving the seasonal changes in bacteria and fungi. These findings reveal the strong seasonal variability of different soil microbial constituents in plant-invaded coastal salt marshes and suggest the linkage between microbial community assembly and microbial-mediated functions in the context of plant invasions.

Economical energy allocation for the landward invasion of Spartina alterniflora in estuaries in the Yellow River Delta, east China

Jiakai Liu et al.

Summary: Smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) introduced to China in 1970s for coastline stabilization threatens the habitat range of native Phragmites australis and has become more adaptive than P. australis. A study comparing their morphological and biomechanical responses to wave interference in the Yellow River Delta showed that P. australis was more sensitive to waves, exhibiting shorter individuals in wave zones but larger stem diameter and higher biomass. On the other hand, S. alterniflora did not show such variations. In wave zones, S. alterniflora invaded P. australis' habitat despite P. australis' higher stem-bending resistance, allocating excessive energy in stem growth while decreasing reproduction and fitness. Compared to none-wave zones, S. alterniflora allocated excessive energy in the stem to resist wind interference, making them less fitted than P. australis. Economic energy allocation to wave mechanical interference contributed to the successful invasion of S. alterniflora to landward in estuaries. S. alterniflora continued to expand landward in a semi-saline area, but community patterns may remain unchanged in areas with low salinity and high wave interference.

Fate and Effects of Macro- and Microplastics in Coastal Wetlands

Xiaoguang Ouyang et al.

Summary: Coastal wetlands serve as traps for plastics, but little is known about the stocks and impacts of plastics in these areas. We conducted a comprehensive evaluation of plastic abundance in coastal wetlands, finding that the abundance of plastics in sediment and the ingestion by marine animals far exceeds that in the water column. The abundance of plastics varies across different types of coastal wetlands and is influenced by climate, geography, seasons, and population density or waste management. Plastic ingestion by fish increases with size and weight. Microplastics have negative effects on biota abundance and mangrove survival but positive effects on sediment nutrients, leaf drop, and carbon emission. It is crucial to include microplastics in assessing the health and degradation of coastal wetland ecosystems.

Environmental and plant community drivers of plant pathogen composition and richness

Andreas Makiola et al.

Summary: Interactions between individual plant pathogens and their environment have been described many times. However, the relative contribution of different environmental parameters as controls of pathogen communities remains largely unknown. Plant community composition is found to be the main driver of plant pathogen composition and richness after taking into account all other tested parameters, especially those related to climate and soil. Concerning future changes in climate and land use, results suggest that changes in plant pathogen community composition and richness will primarily be mediated through changes in plant communities, rather than the direct effects of climate or soils.

Plant invasion reconstructs soil microbial assembly and functionality in coastal salt marshes

Guangliang Zhang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of plant invasions on soil microbial communities and functions in salt marshes. It finds that microbial diversity is positively correlated with the duration of invasion, and both bacterial and fungal communities show consistent changes with invasion. The metabolic potential of soil microbes decreases in response to invasion, leading to carbon accumulation in invaded salt marshes. Bacteria and fungi have distinct contributions to microbial community assembly along the invasion gradient.

Dual threat of tidal flat loss and invasive Spartina alterniflora endanger important shorebird habitat in coastal mainland China

Micha V. Jackson et al.

Summary: The coastal wetlands of China are crucial for shorebirds, but the loss of tidal flats and invasion of smooth cordgrass have led to declines in population. Between 2000 and 2015, there was a 15% net loss in tidal flat area across coastal mainland China, with over half the sites experiencing invasion of Spartina alterniflora. The combined pressures from tidal flat loss and cordgrass invasion were most severe in eastern coastal China, affecting bird species like the Spoon-billed Sandpiper and Nordmann's Greenshank.
