Overview Researchers from Boston College collected continuous, baseline data in a New Jersey tidal marsh over a three-year period to better understand marsh contributions to the carbon cycle and how ponds and tidal channels function in the overall ecosystem metabolism of the marsh. ...
There has been much discussion about how the new Waters of the US jurisdiction has been limited by the 2020 Navigable Waters Protection Rule (NWPR). Of main concern are the non-tidal wetlands that were once regulated as Section 404 Waters and are now no longer regulated under the Clean Water Act. ...
This benefit means that water level monitoring is commonly used in some of the following applications: Flood monitoring River level monitoring Wetland studies Tidal studies Groundwater monitoring Surface water monitoring Groundwater and surface water monitoring One of the most common uses of water level monitoring devices is in measuring groundwater ...
It has successfully developed over 10 methodologies for wetland and forestry ecosystems. Two of them are most relevant to blue carbon projects: the “methodology for avoided ecosystem conversion” and the “methodology for tidal wetland and seagrass ...
The aim was to compare the impact of different design (aggregate size) and operational (contact time, empty time and chemical oxygen demand (COD) loading) variables on the long-term and seasonal performance of vertical-flow constructed wetland filters operated in tidal flow mode before and after a one-off spill of diesel. Ten different vertical-flow ...
Wetlands have been the focus of conservation and restoration efforts for over a century. ...
A high resolution model mesh was required to numerically simulate sediment transport in tidal marshes. The timing of flooding is dependent on the tidal marsh ground elevation, which requires accurate topographic elevation data. The tidal prism of the marsh is determined by the volume provided by tidal channels in the system. Hence, their location and bathymetry needed to be represented ...
The coverage of different types of wetlands in this report follows the definition adopted in the text of the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (see Box 1.1), so it includes both inland and coastal (near-shore marine) wetlands. ...
This study examined a novel reuse of alum sludge, an inescapable by-product of drinking water treatment process when aluminium salt is added as a coagulant, as the main medium in a laboratory-scale multi-stage constructed wetland (CW) system for reject water treatment. Such reject water is a main concern in municipal wastewater treatment plant (MWWTP) for increasing the organic ...
We investigated whether marsh surface elevation, plant community composition (annuals vs. perennials), and organic matter quantity/quality were associated with differences in denitrification rates in an urban tidal freshwater marsh of the Potomac River, United States. We measured denitrification rates using both denitrification enzyme activity (DEA) with acetylene inhibition ...
The Batiquitos Pump Station is located adjacent to the Batiquitos Lagoon Tidal Wetlands Area. The lagoon itself consists of 610 acres with a drainage basin of about 55,000 acres and is bordered on its north side by a popular walking/hiking trail. ...
This paper is a research brief highlighting the development of a novel alum-sludge based Constructed Wetland (CW) system aimed at reducing the pollution effects of agricultural run-offs. ...
Wetland habitats include inter-tidal mud-flats, mangroves, hyper-saline flats, freshwater flood plains and streams. The tidal influence on the saline wetlands is pronounced, as is the influence of the annual wet-dry cycle of the monsoonal climate on the flood plains and streams. ...
The landfill lies in a shallow valley formed by Novato Creek as it entered the tidal wetlands that historically bordered San Pablo Bay. The land occupied by the former base was reclaimed, originally for agricultural purposes, in the late 1800's and Novato Creek was redirected in a man-made channel away from the landfill. ...
