At the study site, saltmarsh colonised most suitable areas, increasing by 142% and resulting in 56 tonnes of carbon sequestered, within a 4-year period, providing insight into blue carbon regeneration trajectories. Saltmarsh growth patterns were species-specific, influenced by species’ reproductive and dispersal strategies. Our findings suggested that biotic factors and interactions were important in influencing species’ distributions and succession trajectories. This work can help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of restoration planning and monitoring at coastal wetlands and similar ecosystems worldwide, with the potential to apply this approach to other types of remote sensing imagery and to calculate other rehabilitation co-benefits. Importantly, the method can be used to calculate blue carbon habitat creation following tidal restoration of coastal wetlands.]]> Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:42:29 AEDT ]]> Restoring blue carbon ecosystems unlocks fisheries' potential https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54490 Tue 27 Feb 2024 15:13:08 AEDT ]]> Surface evolution and carbon sequestration in disturbed and undisturbed wetland soils of the Hunter estuary, southeast Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8141 Tue 16 Jan 2024 16:00:57 AEDT ]]> Life history characteristics of glassfish, Ambassis jacksoniensis, adjacent to saltmarsh within a large and permanently-open estuary https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29095 Thu 26 Jul 2018 13:18:54 AEST ]]> Habitat–fishery linkages in two major south-eastern Australian estuaries show that the C4 saltmarsh plant Sporobolus virginicus is a significant contributor to fisheries productivity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36709 4 saltmarsh plant Sporobolus virginicus had the greatest contribution to consumer diet among almost all sites and times (25–95%), though for prawns the presence of seagrass may be exerting some influence on this calculated contribution in the Clarence estuary. Particulate organic matter (POM; 30%) and fine benthic organic matter (FBOM; 39–41%) also contributed significantly to consumer diet. Mangroves and other C₃ sources generally had the lowest contribution to consumers (1–31%). While the exact contributions of each source are uncertain within our Bayesian framework, these results highlight the relatively large role of saltmarsh habitat as a contributor to fishery productivity, especially in estuaries with no seagrasses. Given the anthropogenic threats to saltmarsh habitat, there is potential for loss of fishery productivity with further loss of saltmarsh areal extent.]]> Thu 25 Jun 2020 16:03:41 AEST ]]> Australia's mangrove species: botanical watercolour illustrations of a plant community facing an uncertain future https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24480 Thu 11 Jul 2019 14:31:20 AEST ]]> Importance of saltmarsh to fish species of a large south-eastern Australian estuary during a spring tide cycle https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7580 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:37:23 AEDT ]]> Trophic relay and prey switching: a stomach contents and calorimetric investigation of an ambassid fish and their saltmarsh prey https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26848 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:41:49 AEDT ]]> Glassfish switch feeding from thalassinid larvae to crab zoeae after tidal inundation of saltmarsh https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26289 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:42 AEDT ]]> The glutathione antioxidant system as a biomarker suite for the assessment of heavy metal exposure and effect in the grey mangrove, Avicennia marina (Forsk.)
