Simple Summary The objective of this comprehensive review is to address some important
aspects linked to the spread of Spartina alterniflora in China's coastal wetlands. Firstly, we …

Vegetation recovery in disturbance‐driven ecosystems is difficult to predict. We demonstrate
a concept to analyse time series for short‐term variability in external forcing that can identify …

Spartina alterniflora was introduced to China more than 30 years ago, and its arrival
corresponded with negative effects on native ecosystems. To elucidate the spatial …

Regional, ecosystem-level conservation projects with significant vegetation management
components require planning, coordination, and responsive management strategies to …

Abstract Rapid expansion of Spartina Alterniflora (S. alterniflora) has led to severe
ecological consequences in coastal wetlands in China. Better understanding of the …

The exotic species Spartina alterniflora (S. alterniflora) seriously threatens the stability and
functioning of saltmarsh ecosystems in the Yangtze Estuary. Ambitious efforts have been …

Natural or human-induced intra-annual variation of river discharge alters estuarine
hydrological regimes and further affects habitat conditions for saltmarsh vegetation …

During coastal wetland restoration, foundation plant species are critical in creating habitat,
modulating ecosystem functions, and supporting ecological communities. Following initial …

The invasive plant Spartina alterniflora presents a serious threat to the saltmarsh
ecosystems in the Yangtze Estuary. Various measures have been implemented to control S …

This paper compares the Yangtze Estuary in China and the Western Scheldt Estuary in The
