Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Available freshwater could moderate salinity across significant wetland areas.
- Association Benefits were sensitive to management approach, delivery rate and duration.
- Intervention effect Feedback scenarios raised benefits per delivered water volume.
- Intervention effect Most augmentation approaches would greatly benefit wetland vegetation productivity relative to severe drought.
- Observation Parts of a Spartina patens dominated brackish zone remain at salinity risk.
- Recommendation The authors suggest complementary restoration actions for the at-risk brackish zone.
