Nature-based solutions are critical for ecological restoration in reclaimed areas, especially in promoting vegetation recovery. However, current vegetation restoration in reclaimed areas mainly relies on artificial greening, without deep insights on the restoration of natural vegetation. This study assessed aboveground plant communities and soil seed banks (SSBs) over 8–14 years of natural ecological succession in the reclamation area, using field surveys and remote sensing analyses. Soil and seed characteristics were evaluated, and a plant-soil-seed bank quality index (QI) was calculated. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to explore relationships between vegetation, soil properties, seed bank, and QI. The results show that after 8–14 years of natural recovery, the diversity of aboveground plant species remained stable, indicating that woody plants play a key role in stabilizing community composition. However, the species richness of the SSBs decreased after 12 years, with wind and self-reproduction as dominant modes of seed dispersal. Moreover, the potential for natural vegetation recovery increased over time. Soil total salinity (TS), available nitrogen (AN), and available phosphorus (AP) were identified as the main drivers affecting the natural succession of SSBs and aboveground vegetation. Therefore, the potential for natural vegetation recovery in reclamation areas increases over time, remains stable in space, and was mainly driven by soil factors. This study can provide a typical case for the natural restoration of vegetation in sea reclamation areas.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"220 ","pages":"Article 107730"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144653004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we assessed the biogeochemical recovery of ancient, previously buried, hydric soil on a restored floodplain surface and its potential for providing denitrification ecosystem services. Relict hydric soil along with contemporary wetland soils were evaluated for three years at the Gramies Run restoration site in Maryland.

Oxidation of hydric soils released inorganic N, but the dissolved N concentrations were low (≤ 1 mg/L). Denitrification rates in the hydric soil were low in year 1 (1–4 μg kg<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>) but slowly increased to higher values by year 3 (10–47 μg kg<sup>−1</sup> h<sup>−1</sup>). Our observations suggest that relict hydric soils will require three or more years to provide restoration ecosystem services like improved denitrification and slow gains must be considered in water quality expectations from restoration.

The removal efficiencies of various substrates and plants for the pollutants in laundry wastewater were also monitored. Results indicated that, in the GW system watering twice a day for 1 h and 15 min each time, and with a surface hydraulic load of 144 L/(m<sup>2</sup>·h), the removal percentages of SDBS, total organic carbon (TOC), and total nitrogen (TN) from the actual laundry wastewater were approximately 85 %, 75 %, and 76 %, respectively, after 2 days circular process. This study suggests that innovative and aesthetically pleasing ecological GWs can be effectively designed for treating laundry wastewater at household and dormitory scales.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"220 ","pages":"Article 107721"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144572568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
