Wetlands International - Launch of the Guidelines for the Restoration, Creation and Management of Salt Marshes and Tidal Flats
09.24.2024 | 1.30 ?to 2:30 PM (CEST) | Online
Wetlands International invites you to the launch of the Guidelines for the Restoration, Creation, and Management of Salt Marshes and Tidal Flats. These vital ecosystems support unique wildlife, provide local income, and are crucial for coastal protection and carbon storage. However, they face threats from coastal development, sea level rise, and other pressures. In response, Wetlands International and 英国剑桥大学 ’s Conservation Evidence have developed these evidence-based guidelines to support restoration projects, particularly those aiding migratory waterbirds.

Scientific publication - “Evidence of dark oxygen production at the abyssal seafloor” - Nature
This article presents the results of experiments conducted on the abyssal floor of the Pacific, where organisms typically consume oxygen. However, researchers discovered net oxygen production in benthic chambers (incubation chambers used to study deep-sea organisms in situ), suggesting "dark oxygen production." Polymetallic nodules, these rock formations rich in metals such as iron, nickel, and copper formed over millennia, appear to be the source of this oxygen production through chemical reactions. These findings challenge previous studies on the oxygen cycle in deep-sea environments and could have major implications for understanding biogeochemical cycles and benthic marine ecosystems.
