Land‐use change in the coastal zone has led to worldwide degradation of marine coastal
ecosystems and a loss of the goods and services they provide. Restoration is the process of …

Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows and tidal saltmarshes are vegetated coastal
ecosystems that accumulate and store large quantities of carbon in their sediments. Many …

Scientific and societal unknowns make it difficult to predict how global environmental
changes such as climate change and biological invasions will affect ecological systems. In …

Studies on invasive plant management are often short in duration and limited in the methods
tested, and lack an adequate description of plant communities that replace the invader …

A distinct, non-native haplotype of the common reed Phragmites australis has become
invasive in Atlantic coastal Spartina marshes. We compared the salt tolerance and other …

Plant communities in abiotically stressful, or 'harsh', habitats have been reported to be less
invaded by non-native species than those in more moderate habitats. Here, we synthesize …

Already heavily impacted by coastal development, estuarine vegetated habitats
(seagrasses, salt marshes, and mangroves) are increasingly affected by climate change via …

The rapid progression of an invasive genotype of common reed along roads and other linear
infrastructures in North America provides one of the most spectacular examples of the role of …

We compiled salt marsh monitoring datasets from 36 complete or imminent restoration
projects in the Gulf of Maine to assess regional monitoring and restoration practices. Data …

On the North shore of Lake Erie, Long Point provides habitat to many thousands of breeding
and migrating birds, including marsh-nesting species that are in decline across the Great …
