Human activities, such as artificial drainage for mosquito control, impact the ecological integrity of these ecosystems. Therefore, the objective was to compare the species composition of mosquitoes in two types of wetlands (swamp and herbaceous wetland) and a nearby human settlement, and determine the degree of risk, advocating for the conservation of these ecosystems. Collection of mosquito immature stages was conducted throughout on year in the municipality of Jamapa, in Veracruz state, Mexico. The richness and abundance of the collected species were determined, and the species composition of each site was compared through cluster and beta diversity analysis and analysis of similarity. The richness was higher in the two wetlands, and the abundance in human settlements. The species composition was different in all three sites. Mosquito species posing higher health risks were found in human settlements, and those posing lower risks in the swamp. As a result, it was possible to determine a disturbance gradient, with human settlements at the negative end of the gradient, the herbaceous wetland in the middle, and the swamp at the positive end, demonstrating that ecosystems preserving their original flora and fauna do not represent a significant risk for the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":49363,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands Ecology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140939464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Though a designated Ramsar site, Sasthamkotta Lake has been exposed to various anthropogenic stressors, which in recent years have caused a sudden decrease in its productivity. The study therefore aimed to delineate the present ecological health of the lake in terms of its trophic dynamics and ecosystem efficiency using ecosystem modeling approach. The estimated trophic level (TL) of the lake ranged between 1 (detritus) to 3.76 (fish-eating birds), indicating a skewed structure towards lower carnivorous groups. The ecosystem maturity indices (connectance index, and system omnivory index) revealed the lake to be immature and in the developing stage, though the origin of the lake has been traced back to the quaternary era. The higher value of system overhead (66%) denotes that this ecosystem has been resisting ecological perturbations, in spite of its age is noteworthy. Though the study indicates that the lake’s trophic structure is well-established, a variety of anthropogenic stressors reduce ground water levels and diminish aquifer recharge into the lake. This would significantly reduce the lake’s catchment area, affecting the entire biota.

A total of 268 soil samples were collected from the upper 20 cm soil layer, soil samples were processed and analyzed to obtain edaphic properties and organic carbon.

Seasonality was not a significant factor in the assessment of these two regulation ecosystem services.

The greatest carbon storage values were associated with mangroves established on Solonchak, with values between 5 and 8 Mg C/ha.

Understanding how marsh communities are influenced by their environment is critical in determining their ability to respond to environmental stressors. Plants harbor microbes that colonize and inhabit their tissues without causing apparent harm (‘endosymbionts’). These endosymbionts provide benefits to host plants including mediation of salinity stress response, thus it is important to understand the factors influencing the diversity of endosymbiont communities. We examined the relative influences of biotic (host-related) and abiotic (local environment) factors on the endosymbiont communities associated with the dominant saltmarsh halophyte, <i>Batis maritima</i>. Using culture-based and genetic approaches, we characterized both fungal and bacterial endosymbionts from <i>B. maritima</i> roots in Oso Bay, Texas, along the Gulf of Mexico. Isolation frequency of endosymbionts significantly differed between fungi and bacteria, and the overall diversity was low. Belowground plant biomass and salinity correlated with decreased diversity in fungi, while shifts in fungal composition varied according to light availability. Overall, these findings highlight the relative influences of both biotic and abiotic factors in shaping the root endosymbionts and might differ between fungi and bacteria. Understanding these processes is fundamental to determining the resilience of both endosymbionts and host plants, with implications for ecosystem functions amidst environmental pressures. As anthropogenic-driven environmental changes continue to rise, insights gained from these results can inform future coastal restoration and management especially of at-risk coastal ecosystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":49363,"journal":{"name":"Wetlands Ecology and Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140826856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
