In the Mediterranean, urban and agricultural development has led to degradation of coastal habitats a decline in wetland biodiversity. L’Albufera de Valencia is paradigmatic case-study, with intensive rice fields, scarcity natural aquatic habitats, an unfavorable conservation status. Since 1990s, restoration efforts have been made freshwater brackish environments. this study, long-, medium-, short-term dynamics ecological functional traits were analyzed for waterbird communities. We found that these areas had facilitated establishment resilient communities higher specialization diversity than rest protected area, including threatened species. Overall, improved population compared surrounding hyper-eutrophic lagoon fields. The findings reveal two complementary paradoxes linked succession. Initial affected small, pioneer species high value, while larger concern displaced them over time. Dynamics influenced by body mass, less competition Notably, large waders vegetation gleaners nesting restored wetlands exhibited greater sensitivity succession, reversing regional declines. These highlight importance increasing various stages succession meet needs

Retrogressive succession alters soil conditions and microbial community dynamics in cold-region wetlands, yet its ecological implications remain understudied. This study explored the structure function of communities across three successional stages: swamp (SP), swamped meadow (SM), (MW). High-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing identified 2852 operational taxonomic units (OTUs), with 1682 shared among all stages (58.85%). Alpha diversity indices, including Shannon, Chao, ACE, Sobs, were significantly higher MW, Shannon index increasing by approximately 32% compared to SP, indicating enhanced richness evenness. In contrast, Simpson Coverage indices highest SP. Proteobacteria, Actinobacteriota, Acidobacteriota dominant phyla, showing distinct distributions stages. Beta analysis (PCoA NMDS) revealed clear separation communities. Soil organic carbon (SOC), pH, water content (SWC), cation exchange capacity (CEC), bulk density (BD) influenced composition distribution. Functional prediction using FAPROTAX BugBase indicated a shift from anaerobic metabolism, nitrogen fixation, cellulolysis SP aerobic chemoheterotrophy stress tolerance MW. These results demonstrate that adapt changing environments during retrogressive succession, highlighting their role ecosystem resilience wetlands.

Small wetlands are essential for preserving global biodiversity, yet they frequently neglected in conservation strategies due to vague definitions and a lack of research attention. In this study, we conducted thirty-six surveys via the point count method Xiaohongxiang Wetland, Anning City, Yunnan Province, China, from November 2023 June 2024. We aimed evaluate impact various habitats surrounding Wetland (wetlands, villages, farmlands, cherry plantations pine forests) on taxonomic, functional phylogenetic diversity avian species investigate significance these ecological restoration efforts. A total 62 were recorded. vital supporting common waterbirds, but may not safeguard rare effectively. While forests enhance near wetlands, their low could limit niches available birds. This indicates that monoculture might restrict habitat variety needed diverse bird community. Our study found no clear clustering or overdispersion amongst across habitats, suggesting community assembly is shaped by competitive exclusion, filtering neutral processes. Despite limited sample size, our results highlight gap between taxonomic diversity, indicating multidimensional biodiversity metrics thoroughly evaluating wetland impacts diversity.

The observed birds belong 8 orders 12 families. largest group was Charadriiformes order with 14 species. Also, Near Threatened Ferruginous Duck recorded Dakhla relative abundance analysis spotlighted two key little stint marsh sandpiper. results shed light ecological importance shallow water zones comparison deep zones, had 84.4% total birds. is characterized by higher overall abundances, richer numbers, a more Shannon-Weiner index, 2.611 pointing varied populous avian community compared Kharga. While boasted greater diversity indices, measurements both sites similarly suggested that evenly spread throughout each location. Both locations exhibited substantial increases populations species, underscoring valuable role habitats as resting waterbirds.
