Yet restored tidal marshes are strongly vulnerable to factors such as sea level rise and declining sediment supply. How fast the restored ecosystem develops, how resilient it is to sea level rise, and how this can be steered by restoration design are key questions that are typically challenging to assess due to the complex biogeomorphic feedback processes involved. In this paper, we apply a biogeomorphic model to a specific tidal-marsh restoration project planned by dike breaching. Our modeling approach integrates tidal hydrodynamics, sediment transport, and vegetation dynamics, accounting for relevant fine-scale flow–vegetation interactions (less than 1 m2) and their impact on vegetation and landform development at the landscape scale (several km2) and in the long term (several decades). Our model performance is positively evaluated against observations of vegetation and geomorphic development in adjacent tidal marshes. Model scenarios demonstrate that the restored tidal marsh can keep pace with realistic rates of sea level rise and that its resilience is more sensitive to the availability of suspended sediments than to the rate of sea level rise. We further demonstrate that restoration design options can steer marsh resilience, as they affect the rates and spatial patterns of biogeomorphic development. By varying the width of two dike breaches, which serve as tidal inlets to the restored marsh, we show that a larger difference in the width of the two inlets leads to higher biogeomorphic diversity in restored habitats. This study showcases that biogeomorphic modeling can support management choices in restoration design to optimize tidal-marsh development towards sustainable restoration goals. %B Earth Surface Dynamics %V 10 %P 531–553 %G eng %U https://esurf.copernicus.org/articles/10/531/2022/ %R 10.5194/esurf-10-531-2022 %0 Journal Article %J Integrative and Comparative Biology %D 2022 %T Biological Networks across Scales—The Theoretical and Empirical Foundations for Time-Varying Complex Networks that Connect Structure and Function across Levels of Biological Organization %A Bogdan, Paul %A Caetano-Anollés, Gustavo %A Jolles, Anna %A Kim, Hyunju %A Morris, James %A Murphy, Cheryl A %A Royer, Catherine %A Snell, Edward H %A Steinbrenner, Adam %A Strausfeld, Nicholas %X Abstract Many biological systems across scales of size and complexity exhibit a time-varying complex network structure that emerges and self-organizes as a result of interactions with the environment. Network interactions optimize some intrinsic cost functions that are unknown and involve for example energy efficiency, robustness, resilience, and frailty. A wide range of networks exist in biology, from gene regulatory networks important for organismal development, protein interaction networks that govern physiology and metabolism, and neural networks that store and convey information to networks of microbes that form microbiomes within hosts, animal contact networks that underlie social systems, and networks of populations on the landscape connected by migration. Increasing availability of extensive (big) data is amplifying our ability to quantify biological networks. Similarly, theoretical methods that describe network structure and dynamics are being developed. Beyond static networks representing snapshots of biological systems, collections of longitudinal data series can help either at defining and characterizing network dynamics over time or analyzing the dynamics constrained to networked architectures. Moreover, due to interactions with the environment and other biological systems, a biological network may not be fully observable. Also, subnetworks may emerge and disappear as a result of the need for the biological system to cope with for example invaders or new information flows. The confluence of these developments renders tractable the question of how the structure of biological networks predicts and controls network dynamics. In particular, there may be structural features that result in homeostatic networks with specific higher-order statistics (e.g., multifractal spectrum), which maintain stability over time through robustness and/or resilience to perturbation. Alternative, plastic networks may respond to perturbation by (adaptive to catastrophic) shifts in structure. Here, we explore the opportunity for discovering universal laws connecting the structure of biological networks with their function, positioning them on the spectrum of time-evolving network structure, that is, dynamics of networks, from highly stable to exquisitely sensitive to perturbation. If such general laws exist, they could transform our ability to predict the response of biological systems to perturbations—an increasingly urgent priority in the face of anthropogenic changes to the environment that affect life across the gamut of organizational scales. %B Integrative and Comparative Biology %V 61 %P 1991–2010 %8 feb %G eng %U https://academic.oup.com/icb/article/61/6/1991/6281074 %R 10.1093/icb/icab069 %0 Journal Article %J Limnology and Oceanography %D 2022 %T Biotic and abiotic factors control the geomorphic characteristics of channel networks in salt marshes %A Liu, Zezheng %A Gourgue, Olivier %A Fagherazzi, Sergio %B Limnology and Oceanography %V 67 %P 89–101 %8 jan %G eng %U https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/lno.11977 %R 10.1002/lno.11977 %0 Journal Article %J Nature Climate Change %D 2021 %T Biodiversity–productivity relationships are key to nature-based climate solutions %A Mori, Akira S. %A Dee, Laura E. %A Gonzalez, Andrew %A Ohashi, Haruka %A Cowles, Jane %A Wright, Alexandra J. %A Loreau, Michel %A Hautier, Yann %A Newbold, Tim %A Reich, Peter B. %A Matsui, Tetsuya %A Takeuchi, Wataru %A Okada, Kei-ichi %A Seidl, Rupert %A Isbell, Forest %B Nature Climate Change %V 11 %P 543–550 %8 jun %G eng %U http://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-021-01062-1 %R 10.1038/s41558-021-01062-1 %0 Journal Article %J Estuaries and Coasts %D 2021 %T Biotic Recovery Following Ice-Rafting in a Salt Marsh %A Wittyngham, Serina S. %A Pant, Manisha %A Martínez-Soto, Kayla %A Johnson, David S. %B Estuaries and Coasts %8 nov %G eng %U https://link.springer.com/10.1007/s12237-021-01023-z %R 10.1007/s12237-021-01023-z %0 Journal Article %J Ecosphere %D 2017 %T Bottom-up control of parasites %A Johnson, D.S. %A Heard, R. %K coastal wetlands %K disease ecology %K disturbance %K eutrophication %K fertilizer %K host traits %K inorganic nutrients %K intertidal %K LTER-PIE %K population dynamics %B Ecosphere %V 8 %G eng %M PIE437 %3 DEB 0816963, DEB 0213767, DEB 1354494, OCE 0923689, OCE 0423565, OCE 0924287 %] NSF-LTER-PIE %R 10.1002/ecs2.1885 %F Journal Article %0 Journal Article %J International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation %D 2015 %T Behavior-based aggregation of land categories for temporal change analysis %A Aldwaik, S.Z. %A Onsted, J.A. %A Pontius, R.G., Jr. %K disturbance %K GIS %K land change %K LTER-PIE %B International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation %V 35 %P 229-238 %G eng %M PIE385 %] NSF-LTER-PIE %R 10.1016/j.jag.2014.09.007 %F Journal Article %0 Journal Article %J Freshwater Biology %D 2013 %T Beaver dams maintain native fish biodiversity by increasing habitat heterogeneity throughout a low-gradient stream network. %A Smith, J.M. %A Mather, M.E. %K beaver %K disturbance %K ecosystem engineer %K fish assemblage %K habitat heterogeneity %K LTER-PIE %K population dynamics %K riverscape scale %B Freshwater Biology %V 58 %P 1523 -
