Journal ArticleDOI
Ecological Theory and Community Restoration Ecology
TL;DR: Practical restoration efforts should rely heavily on what is known from theoretical and empirical research on how communities develop and are structured over time, and are identified specific areas that are in critical need of further research to advance the science of restoration ecology.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: No-take marine reserves are promising management tools because of their potential to protect coastal ecosystem structure and functioning, benefit exploited populations and fisheries, improve scientific understanding of marine ecosystems, and provide enriched opportunities for non-extractive human activities as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A comprehensive field and modeling study indicates vulnerability of tidal wetlands to sea-level rise on the U.S. Pacific coast is highly vulnerable to end-of-century submergence, with resulting extensive loss of habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of an artificial reef on the surrounding infaunal community
TL;DR: Results indicate that the densities of some species were enhanced, and others depressed, around the reef, but that the overall effect of the artificial reef on the surrounding infauna was limited to a small area near the modules.
