Patterns in Anthropogenic Nitrogen and Water Quality Leading to Phytoplankton Blooms in Urban Estuaries by Richard C. Dugdale, Alexander E. Parker, Frances P. Wilkerson

“…We apply the statistical relationship to a 40-year time series from the SFE during which there was an ecosystem-scale change in the estuarine foodweb with a drastic decline in pelagic fishes (the pelagic organism decline) and suggest that this period aligned with the lowest annual primary production and highest NH₄. …”

Hybrid energy harvesting enabled by a covalent organic framework membrane by Jiaming Yi, Zhuozhi Lai, Qing Guo, Zhiwei Xing, Qi Sun

“…Furthermore, the membrane facilitates thermo-osmotic energy conversion by selectively screening ionic charges driven by combined salinity and temperature gradients. Under simulated estuarine salinity conditions and a 30 ​K temperature gradient, the COF membrane achieved a maximum output power density of 91.4 ​W ​m−2—an 18-fold increase compared to the commercial benchmark (5 ​W ​m−2). …”

Mangrove dynamics driven by Late Holocene drought at Laguna Bacalar, Mexico by A.A. Aragón-Moreno, G.A. Islebe, N. Torrescano-Valle, H.A. Hernández-Arana, A. Carrillo-Bastos, R. Friedel

“…Climate and ecological changes delineate three pivotal phases during the Late Holocene at Laguna Bacalar: (i) a period between 3600 and 3250 cal BP mirroring current climatic conditions with seasonal dry tropical forest and mangroves as the dominant vegetation and evidence of human activities indicated by the presence of fossil maize pollen, (ii) a relatively arid phase from 3250 to 2600 cal BP, influenced by heightened ENSO-driven precipitation variability and sea level rise favoring an estuarine environment at Laguna Bacalar, and (iii) a period between 2600 and 2200 cal BP, exhibiting hydrological conditions akin to contemporary conditions with wetland forest mangrove vegetation. …”

Tectonic activation and the risk of Ilisu Dam collapse to Iraq through modelling and simulation using HEC-RAS by Ahmad Al-Gurairy, Mohamed S. Al-Jubory, Nadhir Al-Ansari, Salih Muhammad Awadh, Ali H. Al-Zubaidi, Muhammad T. Al-Sadun, Riyadh M. Al-Ghurairy

“…Abstract Floods caused by dam failures can cause huge losses of life and property, especially in estuarine areas and valleys. In spite of all the capabilities and great improvements reached by man in the construction of dams and their structures, they will remain helpless before the powerful forces of nature, especially those related to tectonic activation, and the occurrence of earthquakes of different intensities. …”

Conservation implications of habitat selection by nesting diamondback terrapins (Malaclemys terrapin) investigated via an automated radio telemetry system by Brian A. Williamson, Amanda L. Lyons, Lisa M. Ferguson

“…Abstract Background Despite considerable research on nest site selection of diamondback terrapins and the risks that coastal roads pose to populations of this obligate estuarine turtle, there are gaps in our understanding of movements and habitat use by female terrapins during the nesting season. …”

eDNA Metabarcoding, a Promising Tool for Monitoring Aquatic Biodiversity in the Estuaries of Reunion Island (South‐West Indian Ocean) by Lou‐Anne Jannel, François Guilhaumon, Pierre Valade, Pascale Chabanet, Guillaume Borie, Henri Grondin, Philippe Jourand

“…In this context, monitoring the fish's biological sustainability is crucial to ensure the health of these estuarine ecosystems. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of conventional electrofishing monitoring (EF) with the environmental DNA metabarcoding tool to evaluate fish biodiversity in the estuaries. …”

Benthic Community Metrics Track Hydrologically Stressed Mangrove Systems by Amanda W. J. Demopoulos, Jill R. Bourque, Jennifer P. McClain-Counts, Nicole Cormier, Ken W. Krauss

“…We examined a mangrove system impacted by road construction and recently targeted for hydrological restoration within the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, Florida, USA. Samples were collected along a gradient of degradation, from a heavily degraded zone, with mostly dead trees, to a transition zone, with a high number of saplings, to a full canopy zone, with mature trees, and into a reference zone with dense, mature mangrove trees. …”
