This study used a self-developed a NDIR monitoring system to continuously monitor GHG emissions from a tidal constructed mangrove wetland at three typical habitats (mudflat, mangrove, and water surface) in four seasons. The NDIR monitoring system is able to explore the diurnal and seasonal variation of GHG emissions from the tidal constructed mangrove wetland and to estimate more precisely for the GHG emission based carbon budget of the wetland. The continuous monitoring technique is feasible and valuable for assessing the temporal variation of GHG uptake/emission to/from the wetland. Daytime CO emissions were always lower than those at nighttime due to photosynthesis process, while an opposite trend was observed for CH and NO emissions. Seasonal variation of GHGs showed that the highest GHG emissions was observed in summer, and followed by fall, spring, and winter. For three typical habitats, mangrove emitted more amounts of GHGs than mudflat and water surface.

The coastline of Okinawa Island, Japan, has been affected by human-made alterations for decades, often from land reclamation and coastal defense construction. Here, we use an Imperial Japanese Army map made between 1919 and 1921 to describe the composition of the Okinawan coastline approximately 100 years ago, and by overlapping this old map with a modern-day map of Okinawa (2018), we identified 131 sites where coastlines showed clear human-made alterations. For these sites, we examined what kinds of ecosystems were lost and what has replaced them.

Seawall construction has complex ecological impacts. However, the ecological mechanisms within plankton communities under tidal restriction resulting from seawall construction remain unexplored. Using environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding, this study examined the impact of seawall construction on the assembly process of planktonic eukaryote and bacteria communities from the unrestricted area and the tide-restricted area in the Chongming Dongtan Nature Reserve of Yangtze River Estuary.

Climate anomalies lead to an increased occurrence of extreme temperature and drought events in coastal wetlands, resulting in heightened survival pressure on salt marsh plants. It is imperative to anticipate the effects of these events on the habitat suitability and resilience of coastal salt marsh vegetation to inform restoration efforts and management strategies. Herein, an ensemble model was developed to evaluate the recovery of Suaeda Salsa in the two subsequent years following the anomalously high temperatures and decreased precipitation experienced during the summer of 2018, potentially leading to a decline in this species in the eastern coast of Liaohe Estuary wetland (Bohai Sea, China).

Tidal-flow constructed wetlands (TFCWs) provide distinct advantages for nitrogen removal by enhancing microbial activity through dynamic water level fluctuations. However, effects of temperature on nitrogen transformation processes and microbial community dynamics in TFCWs remain unclear. We analyzed the effects of TFCWs on nitrogen transformation and microbial community structure under different temperature conditions (23, 16, 12, and 8 °C) through 140 days of temperature-controlled experiments.
