Soil nutrients and leaf area index interact with species and structural diversity to buffer mangrove productivity against salinity Open
The comparative roles of species and structural diversity in mitigating the impacts of salinity were evaluated. Greater diversity contributes to mitigating salinity impacts by interacting with nutrients and leaf functional trait. Nutrients…

Ecohydrological Engineering for the Sustainable Management of Water–Biota Interactions Open
Ecohydrology engineering provides a valuable framework for addressing emerging environmental challenges by integrating ecological and environmental engineering principles. In this study, we discuss the potential of parsimonious, physically…

Socio-political dynamics in clean energy transition Open
A rapid and effective transition to low-carbon energy production is essential to limit climate change impacts. While the scientific community has mostly focused on research and development and techno-economic aspects, quantifying the role …

Positive Tipping Points in the Food Systems: the Role of Scales Open
The global food system is at a critical inflection point with rising awareness of the need for change and progress on several fronts, pertaining both human health and the environment. One of the ten critical transitions envisioned by the F…

Salinity‐induced limits to mangrove canopy height Open
Aim Mangrove canopy height is a key metric to assess tidal forests' resilience in the face of climate change. In terrestrial forests, tree height is primarily determined by water availability, plant hydraulic design, and disturbance regime…

Socio-Political Feedback on the Path to Net Zero Open
Anthropogenic emissions of CO2 must soon approach net zero to stabilize the global mean temperature. Although several international agreements have advocated for coordinated climate actions, their implementation has remained below expectat…

Declining hydrologic function of coastal wetlands in response to saltwater intrusion Open
Salinity and submergence have shaped coastal wetlands into one of the most productive and yet fragile ecotones worldwide. Sea-level rise alters both salinity and submersion regimes, threatening the future existence of these habitats. Still…

View article: River basin salinization as a form of aridity
River basin salinization as a form of aridity Open
Significance Combining observations and model results, we show that soil salinization does affect the long-term soil–water balance of saline river basins, eventually acting as an aridity enhancer. The strength of this control depends on th…

Salinity and species richness determine mangrove canopy height Open
<p>Mangrove ecosystems play an important role in carbon sequestration of coastal wetlands through litterfall and soil carbon accumulation. Maximum canopy height (<em>H<sub>max</sub></em>) is a key variable in …
View article: Salinity reduces coastal wetland potential for climate change mitigation
Salinity reduces coastal wetland potential for climate change mitigation Open
<p>Coastal wetlands represent a vital component of the global carbon cycle due to the inherent capability of sequestering carbon in both biomass and sediments. Their future ability to act as carbon sinks largely depends on how plant …

Xylem–phloem hydraulic coupling explains multiple osmoregulatory responses to salt stress Open
Summary Salinity is known to affect plant productivity by limiting leaf‐level carbon exchange, root water uptake, and carbohydrates transport in the phloem. However, the mechanisms through which plants respond to salt exposure by adjusting…
View article: Vegetation Controls on Dryland Salinity
Vegetation Controls on Dryland Salinity Open
In salt‐affected soils, salt stress causes a drastic reduction of plant transpiration. The extent of this reduction is a function of vegetation salt tolerance and can result in highly species‐specific controls on soil water budget and sali…
