Summary: Marine ecosystem engineers, such as seagrasses and bivalves, play a critical role in creating important coastal habitats with high biodiversity. Small-scale restoration efforts using facilitative interactions, such as co-restoration with blue mussels and the use of biodegradable establishment structures (BESEs), have the potential to increase the success of restoring these habitats. While co-restoration with mussels did not show significant benefits at small scales, the use of BESEs proved to enhance early eelgrass survival and success in small-scale restoration projects.

Summary: The climate and biodiversity crises are intertwined, requiring large-scale ecosystem restoration. Trophic rewilding, focusing on restoring megafauna and their ecological roles, remains a major challenge. Protected areas alone may not be sufficient for high trophic complexity, necessitating the scaling up of rewilding initiatives. Challenges include land availability, policies, animal supply, and funding. Structural change in agriculture offers opportunities for trophic rewilding globally.

Summary: Evidence of impacts from livelihood diversification in small-scale fisheries remains sparse, indicating a lack of empirical evidence supporting its theoretical underpinnings. There are important questions about the impacts of diversification on multidimensional poverty and ecological conservation that need further research and investment.

Summary: China has implemented key forestry ecological development programs to alleviate environmental issues caused by deforestation, including NFPP, CCFP, DCBT, KSDP, and WCNR. These programs have made significant progress in increasing vegetative coverage, enhancing carbon sequestration, controlling soil erosion, and biodiversity conservation, but a more balanced approach and active involvement of scientific communities are needed for proper implementation and remarkable achievement. The environmental impact of DCBT, KSDP, and WCNR warrant more research attention.

Summary: Ecological restoration is a global priority, but the legacies of past land-use activities can have long-lasting effects on restoration outcomes. This study found that restoration effects were greater than legacy effects, but restoration did not completely mitigate the legacy effects, especially in soil-related properties.

Summary: Large-scale seafloor features shape ocean circulation patterns, but small-scale rough topography can also impact circulation in two significant ways. It affects momentum and density budgets through flow steering, blocking, drag force, generation of waves, and turbulence. However, current Earth system models lack a parameterization for these impacts. Radko provides an analytical model that accurately represents the impact of rough seafloor on larger-scale flows and offers a crucial step towards parameterizing rough topography in coarse-resolution ocean models.

Summary: During the DYNAMO field campaign, radiosonde launches from small islands were compared with dropsondes over the ocean, revealing the islands' influence on the atmosphere and their impact on upsonde profiles, especially in the lowest 200 meters. Adjusting the upsonde profiles to resemble atmospheric structures over the open ocean led to significant changes in temperature diurnal cycle amplitude and low-level wind speeds. These adjustments primarily affected dynamical and budget fields through wind adjustments, while convective parameters were sensitive to changes in thermodynamic fields. The adjustments, albeit small, resulted in systematic variations in divergence and vertical motion over the sounding arrays due to intraseasonal wind regime changes.

Summary: Since its implementation in China, the ecological non-commercial forest certification (ENCFC) has shown positive effects in ecological, social, and economic aspects. However, the program faces challenges such as insufficient compensation, limited sources of compensation funds, and a lack of post-certification evaluation and supervision systems. To optimize ENCFC, the government should introduce market mechanisms and reconsider the expansion of the program. More research is needed on performance evaluation of ENCFC implementation.

Summary: The study of the trochus fishery in Samoa demonstrates that this relatively new fishery fosters resilience of social-ecological systems at the community level and improves the well-being of fishers. Most fishers are satisfied with income from the new fishery, especially the younger and less experienced ones. The additional earnings from the fishery are mainly spent on food, church tithing, and school fees.

Summary: Estuaries and coastal areas are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change and sea level rise. This research presents a salinity transport model for Biscayne Bay and investigates the potential impacts of altered precipitation, increased salinity/temperature, and sea level rise on bay salinity. The findings suggest that current restoration plans may not be sufficient to maintain current salinity conditions, and management measures such as urban greening, artificial groundwater recharge, and water consumption reduction should be considered.

Summary: The study shows that spatiotemporal simulation modeling is an effective tool for investigating management options in ecosystem-based fisheries management. It demonstrates that fisheries restricted areas can help rebuild the biomass of exploited stocks, but their effectiveness depends on the size and location of the areas. The study also suggests that a parallel reduction in total fishing effort is necessary to achieve the highest benefits of protection.

Summary: This study addresses the storage space allocation problem of container yards based on the dual-cycle operation mode. A mixed integer programming model is established to optimize container transportation distance. The results show that dual-cycle operation can decrease transportation distance and the space allocation method based on it is more effective than traditional methods. The study also provides management insights for container ports and suggests effective solutions for bottleneck problems.
