Our research findings indicate that <em>Suaeda salsa</em> exhibits limited sensitivity to wave disturbance. <em>Suaeda salsa</em> is relatively rigid and thus finds it difficult to adjust its shape flexibly in order to withstand the mechanical force caused by wave motion. As the intensity of the wave increases, <em>Suaeda salsa</em> exhibits a tolerance strategy. In the optimal wave environment (before the failure of plant tissue under extreme wave drag force), enhanced waves can stimulate the growth of <em>Suaeda salsa</em>, thus potentially contributing positively to the restoration efforts of the Yellow River Delta.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"208 ","pages":"Article 107388"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142148827","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}

Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate whether the type of vegetation within riparian zones influenced aquatic environmental factors, subsequently impacting aquatic greenhouse gas emissions. To address this, we measured greenhouse gases in the aquatic environment bordered by riparian zones with herbaceous vegetation (GRS) compared to undisturbed natural riparian forests dominated by deciduous (UNF-D) or coniferous (UNF-C) vegetation or a rehabilitated riparian forest (RH). Our findings indicate that aquatic CO₂ concentrations were not influenced (<em>p</em> &lt; 0.05) by vegetation type ranging from 9 g L^{−<span>1</span>} to 11 g L^{−<span>1</span>}.

However, the effects of grazing with different herbivores on plant community composition and recruitment are still little known. Here, we conducted a field moderate grazing experiment to examine the effects of different grazing modes under moderate intensity in the cold season, including sheep grazing (SG), yak grazing (YG), and mixed grazing by sheep and yak (MG), on plant community composition and recruitment. Results showed that all grazing modes significantly decreased plant cover and average height of standing plant litter. Additionally, herbivores grazing significantly increased species richness but decreased community evenness (<em>P</em> &lt; 0.05), with highest richness and evenness found in YG and SG plots, respectively. The trends of increasing aboveground biomass of common and rare species groups were most pronounced in the SG plots relative to the YG and MG plots. MG promoted the increasing of the common species group. From community recruitment, moderate grazing increased the sexual recruitment and decreased the asexual recruitment, and MG significantly inhibited the recruitment of asexual seedlings. Meanwhile, all grazing modes increased the species of poor palatability. These findings imply that the cold-season grazing with moderate intensity facilitated a rapid divergence succession of alpine meadow community by regulating the relative abundance of common and rare species, as well as the asexual seedlings recruitment induced by the removal of standing plant litter. Consequently, the cold-season grazing with different herbivores under moderate intensity can be used as a management tool to modulate grassland community structure and maintain species diversity in alpine grassland ecosystem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"208 ","pages":"Article 107387"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142136163","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}

The goal of this paper is to discuss key methodological issues to consider, as well as the overall potential and limitations of using small-scale experiments as applied specifically to TW research. Planning a successful small-scale experiment to address a scientific question in TW science involves several key decisions to reach the project's goal. Due to financial, space or resources constraints, it is fundamental at the planning stage to carefully determine a suitable compromise between unit size, number of units, number of treatments (both in terms of number of variables and number of levels within each variable) and replication. Producing, properly storing and rigorously distributing the same volume or flow rate of wastewater to each unit is often the most challenging and time-consuming aspect of a small-scale TW experiment. Unavoidable sources of bias inherent in small-scale models must be identified, and when possible, minimized. Small-scale experiments for treatment wetlands can only take on full meaning when the insights obtained through them inform full-scale operations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"208 ","pages":"Article 107378"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142122329","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}

Within the framework of green urban infrastructures (GUIs), a suitable combination of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) with traditional grey infrastructures should be adopted to mitigate flood risk effects in urban and sub-urban areas contributing at the same time to achieve multiple benefits for both the environment and the community. The aim of this study is (i) to evaluate flood hazard maps for identifying the areas within a Sicilian hydrological river basin (Toscano catchment) with a high risk of flooding by implementing the HEC-RAS model at catchment scale; (ii) to quantify the peak flow and floodplain area reduction; (iii) to assess the effectiveness of small-scale NBS (green roofs, porous pavements, rain gardens and rain barrel), in terms of peak flow and runoff volume reductions, at urban block scale by using the EPA SWMM model Model simulations are performed integrating the hydraulic (HEC-RAS) and hydrological (EPA SWMM) models for return periods of 10, 50 and 200 years. The results showed that the estimated peak flow (m³ s⁻¹) obtained from the simulations performed at catchment scale for each T in the current scenario (without NBS) using HEC-RAS and EPA SWMM models are very close to each other (R² = 0.99). In addition, the utopian scenario simulation showed the HEC-RAS model sensitivity to CN calibration achieving a peak flow reduction up to about 60% with the floodplain area decreasing up to about 17%. Finally, the model EPA SWMM shows its sensitivity to NBS implementation at urban block scale with a peak flow reduction up to about 16% and a runoff volume (mm) reduction up to about 24%. These reductions decrease as T increases with a higher NBS mitigation effects for the lowest T. The results highlighted that the integration of NBS in urban areas could have hydrological and hydraulic positive effects, particularly in terms of peak flow and runoff volume reduction. Furthermore, the results suggest that small-scale NBS have a potential to be effective to smaller rainfall events, but a combination with large-scale NBS is necessary to cope with extreme events.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":11490,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Engineering","volume":"208 ","pages":"Article 107375"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0925857424002003/pdfft?md5=88ad80a604d8ee97e9dea72af384f1e3&pid=1-s2.0-S0925857424002003-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142095669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
