    Salt-Marsh Restoration: Evaluating the Success of De-Embankments in North-West Europe

    BIOLOGICAL CONSERVATION Biological Conservation 123 (2005) 249–268 www.elsevier.com/locate/biocon Salt-marsh restoration: evaluating the success of de-embankments in north-west Europe Mineke Wolters a,b,*, Angus Garbutt b, Jan P. Bakker a a Community and Conservation Ecology Group, University of Groningen, P.O. Box 14, 9750 AA Haren, The Netherlands b Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Monks Wood, Abbots Ripton, Huntingdon PE28 2LS, UK Received 30 March 2004 Abstract De-embankment of historically reclaimed salt marshes has become a widespread option for re-creating salt marshes, but to date little information exists on the success of de-embankments. One reason is the absence of pre-defined targets, impeding the measurement of success. In this review, success has been measured as a saturation index, where the presence of target plant species in a restoration site is expressed as a percentage of a regional target species pool. This review is intended to evaluate and compare success of many different sites on an idealistic concept where all regional target species have the potential to establish in a site, but may not actually do so because the site is unsuitable or inaccessible. Factors affecting suitability and accessibility and management options to increase regional species diversity are discussed. The results show that many sites contain less than 50% of the regional target species, especially when sites are smaller than 30 ha. Higher species diversity is observed for sites exceeding 100 ha and for sites with the largest elevational range within mean high water neap to mean high water spring tide.

    The River Odra Estuary As a Gateway for Alien Species Immigration to the Baltic Sea Basin Das Oderästuar Als Pfad Für Die Einwanderung Von Alienspezies in Die Ostsee

    Acta hydrochim. hydrobiol. 27 (1999) 5, 374-382 © WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH, D-69451 Weinheim, 1999 0323 - 4320/99/0509-0374 $ 17.50+.50/0 The River Odra Estuary as a Gateway for Alien Species Immigration to the Baltic Sea Basin Das Oderästuar als Pfad für die Einwanderung von Alienspezies in die Ostsee Dr. Piotr Gruszka Department of Marine Ecology and Environmental Protection, Agricultural University in Szczecin, ul. Kazimierza Królewicza 4/H, PL 71-550 Szczecin, Poland E-mail: [email protected] Summary: The river Odra estuary belongs to those water bodies in the Baltic Sea area which are most exposed to immigration of alien species. Non-indigenous species that have appeared in the Szczecin Lagoon (i.a. Dreissena polymorpha, Potamopvrgus antipodarum, Corophium curvispinum) and in the Pomeranian Bay (Cordylophora caspia, Mya arenaria, Balanus improvisus, Acartia tonsa) in historical time and which now are dominant components of animal communities there as well as other and less abundant (or less common) alien species in the estuary (e.g. Branchiura sowerbyi, Eriocheir sinensis, Orconectes limosus) are presented. In addition, other newcomers - Marenzelleria viridis, Gammarus tigrinus, and Pontogammarus robustoides - found in the estuary in the recent ten years are described. The significance of the sea and inland water transport in the region for introduction of non-indigenous species is discussed against the background of the distribution pattern of these recently introduced polychaete and gammarid species. Keywords: Alien Species, Marenzelleria viridis, Gammarus tigrinus, Pontogammarus robustoides, River Odra Estuary Zusammenfassung: Das Oderästuar gehört zu den Bereichen der Ostsee, die am meisten der Einwanderung von Alienspezies ausgesetzt sind.

The benthic flora is often rich and may include threatened and/or declining plants such as stoneworts (Charales). The bottom of a lagoon can be completely covered in dense underwater vegetation meadows. The lagoon plant vegetation provides habitat for many aquatic invertebrates and these are suitable food for larger animals such as fish or birds. The lagoons are vital habitats for many migrating birds that utilize lagoons both as breeding grounds and as feeding and resting sites during the annual migration. Baltic Sea lagoons are mostly bay-like features or coastal lakes that are more or less separated from the sea by sandbanks or land thresholds. They are commonly shallow, often with a varying salinity.

Fifteen samples were taken in Zingst–Osterwald and Windwatt from beach ridges to reconstruct the development of the Zingst spit system and separate phases of sediment mobilisation. The Keywords: single-aliquot regenerative-dose (SAR) protocol was applied to coarse grain quartz for OSL dating. The Chronology reliability of OSL data was tested with laboratory experiments including dose recovery, recycling ratio and OSL dating recuperation as well as the stratigraphy. We conclude that the sediment is suitable for OSL measurements Quartz Coastal evolution and the derived ages are internally consistent as well as in agreement with the existing stratigraphy and the Baltic Sea geological models of sediment aggradation. The beach ridges at Zingst–Osterwald aggregated ∼1900 to Coastal sediments ∼1600 years ago before the alteration of the sediment system related to the late Subatlantic transgression and the closing of the coastal inlets.

    State of the Knowledge of the Slave River and Slave River Delta

    State of the Knowledge of the Slave River and Slave River Delta A Component of the Vulnerability Assessment of the Slave River and Delta Final Report: April 2016 Prepared for the Slave River and Delta Partnership Jennifer Dagg The Pembina Institute With input and updates by: Executive summary The Slave River and Slave River Delta are unique ecosystems and important to the livelihood and culture of the Aboriginal people in the area. This report consolidates a large number of reports and articles referring to the Slave River and Delta to assess the state of the knowledge and identify areas for future research. This report is intended to be a living document, and periodically updated as more research and monitoring, from multiple knowledge perspectives, takes place1. Overall, we found a large volume of information on hydrology and sediment load, water quality, metals and contaminants in water, sediments and fish, and muskrats, though some of this information is dated. There was a moderate volume of information about fish community, moose, beaver and vegetation, though some of this information is dated and there are some knowledge gaps. There is little information available on benthic invertebrates and insects, mink, otter and aquatic birds, and air quality, and there are a number of knowledge gaps in understanding of function and dynamics of these ecosystem components. Acknowledgements The author would like to thank the many members of the Slave River and Delta Partnership and their partners (past and present) for their time and effort reviewing

Kotnik1 and M. Horvat1 1 Jozef Stefan Institute, Department of Environmental Sciences, Jamova 39, Ljubljana, Slovenia, [email protected] Abstract. Dissolved gaseous mercury (DGM) was studied in surface and deep waters of the Mediterranean Sea for last 12 years during several oceanographic cruises on board the Italian research vessel Urania and covered both Western and Eastern Mediterranean Basins as well as Adriatic Sea. DGM was measured together with other mercury species (RHg - reactive Hg, THg - total Hg, MeHg - monomethyl Hg and DMeHg - dimethylmercury), and with some water quality parameters in coastal and open sea deep water profiles, however only DGM will be discussed here. DGM represents a considerable portion of THg (average of about 20 %) in Mediterranean waters. Spatial and seasonal variations of measured DGM concentrations were observed in different indentified water masses as well as iwere observed. DGM was the highest in the northern Adriatic, most polluted part of the Mediterranean Sea as the consequence of Hg mining in Idrija and heavy industry of northern Italy.Generally, average DGM concentration was higher in W and E Mediteranean Deep Waters (WMDW and EMDW) and Leavantine Intermediate Water (LIW) than overlaying Modified Atlantic Water (MAW), however it was the highest in N Adriatic Surface waters and consequently in out flowing Adriatic Deep Waters (ADW). In deep water profiles the portion of DGM typically increased at depths with oxygen minimum and then towards the bottom, especially in areas with strong tectonic activity (Alboran Sea, Strait of Sicily, Tyrrhenian Sea), indicating its bacterial and/or geotectonic origin.
