Summary: Globally, tidal flats are becoming narrower due to reclamation and sea level rise. The impact of tidal flat narrowing (TFN) on tidal creek systems is not well understood. This study investigated the response of tidal creek systems in the central Jiangsu coast, China, to TFN using the quantification and mapping of tidal creek ecosystem vitality (TCEV). The results showed a significant loss of tidal flats and a decline in TCEV, indicating the need for ecological restoration and controlling reclamation.

Summary: Land cover and use around estuaries in North America have changed since 1950 due to development pressures, particularly in small coastal watersheds. This change in land cover affects sediment contribution and estuarine habitats, with implications for wetland resilience to sea-level rise and the stress on subtidal habitats. The study compares sediment accumulation rates in tidal creeks before and after 1950 in North Carolina, showing an overall increase in sediment accumulation rates and the potential infilling of some creeks. These findings provide valuable information for coastal zone managers in balancing development and environmental protection.

Summary: This paper quantified the influence of sea reclamation activities on hydrological connectivity in the Yellow River Delta by parameterizing the resistance surfaces. It identified the periods of 1990-1995 and 2000-2005 as the most severely influenced by sea reclamation activities. The study highlighted the importance of systematic monitoring and conservation awareness for sustainable development in tidal flats. Overall, this research provided a quantified assessment of different types of sea reclamation activities, contributing to coastal management and planning.

Summary: Size-based partitioning of phytoplankton biomass plays a crucial role in determining the type of food web functioning in aquatic ecosystems. Nanophytoplankton dominates the phytoplankton biomass in Thane creek, with the ability to proliferate under low solar insolation, while microphytoplankton biomass is influenced by high suspended sediment load and mesozooplankton grazing pressure. Picophytoplankton biomass remains low throughout the creek due to competitive disadvantage under high nutrient concentration.

Summary: The study reveals tidal-driven nutrient exchange and a dynamic source-sink pattern at the mangrove-estuary interface, with mangroves acting as both a source and a sink for different nutrients. However, effluents discharged from the upstream area during ebb tide increase the export of nutrients, offsetting the role of mangroves in mitigating coastal eutrophication.

Summary: Reclamation of tidal flats is a common method used in coastal areas to expand land area and develop the economy. This study investigates the impacts of reclamation on tidal and suspended sediment dynamics using numerical modeling in the Oufei tidal flat at the Wenzhou coast. The results show that reclamation reduces the tidal flat area, weakens tidal currents, and reduces suspended sediment concentration. The construction of the Oufei dike also alters sediment circulation and enhances landward sediment transport inside the estuary. The findings of this study can be used as a reference for analyzing suspended sediment transport in other sites affected by tidal flat reclamation.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of engineered aeration on estuarine methane dynamics. The results show that bubble aeration increases air-water methane flux, while the addition of oxygen enhances methane oxidation. Regardless of aeration status, the estuary consistently releases methane to the atmosphere.

Summary: The study examines the response of Swansea Bay to nutrient enrichment and tidal energy extraction, finding that the bay currently shows no signs of eutrophication. The impact of tidal energy extraction on nutrient dynamics and risk of eutrophication in estuaries requires further investigation to better understand potential ecological consequences.

Summary: The objective of this study was to reconstruct the history of sedimentation and nutrient accumulation in the Upper Parana River floodplain. The research found that flood pulses were the main regulating factor of sedimentation rate, and nitrogen was the limiting nutrient for productivity in the system.

Summary: The study found that nutrient concentrations were higher in macro-tidal estuaries, leading to lower levels of dissolved oxygen and impacting the community structure of mesozooplankton. The copepod community in micro- and meso-tidal estuaries was dominated by meso- and euryhaline species, while in macro-tidal estuaries, euryhaline and coastal species were dominant, with an increase in jellyfish prevalence during the post-monsoon period.

Summary: This study analyzed the spatio-temporal divergence patterns and hydrological connectivity of tidal creek networks in Jiangsu Yancheng coastal wetland using remote sensing image data from 1987 to 2020. The results showed that the tidal flats decreased in area and the tidal creeks became shorter and more fragmented, with increased density and number. The development degree of tidal creek networks increased from north to south, and the hydrological connectivity levels were higher in the south. Reclamation and the expansion of Spartina alterniflora were identified as influencing factors.

Summary: The western Tropical Atlantic Ocean is a complex region for carbon cycle dynamics, with three distinct sub-regions showing different sea-air CO2 exchanges. The Amazon River plume waters play a crucial role in carbon uptake in this region. The carbon dynamics in the North Brazil Current and North Equatorial Current waters are sensitive to global climate change.
