Effects of restoration strategies on wetland: A case‐study of Xinqiang River National Wetland Park

Abstract

Accurately understanding the characteristics of a wetland ecological restoration plant communities and their species diversity relationships is the key to improving wetland management and biodiversity protection. To see the effects of restoration strategies implemented in Xinqiang River National Wetland Park, China, we studied 4 models for ecological restoration, namely protection and conservation (PC), reasonable utilization (RU), restoration and reconstruction (RR) and the building of constructed wetland (CW). We then analyzed the features of the plant communities, species diversity and soil properties, and carried out a correlation analysis between plant communities and the species diversity. Finally, we selected four key communities and analyzed their features and soil properties using a symmetric matrix. Results showed that the soil in the PC model had the highest amount of available phosphorus, available nitrogen and pH value. The soil had higher moisture content in the RU model and CW model than the other 2 models. Based on the correlation analysis, we found that there are obvious common characteristics among different ecological restoration types, that is, the diversity characteristics of tree layer, shrub layer and herb layer have obvious differentiation characteristics. We identified four features of the community characteristics that could improve species diversity: SA, TH, HH and SCD.The results of this study have provided a theoretical basis that there is a coupling relationship between ecological community characteristics and species diversity. The above coupling results have practical significance for maintaining good ecological structure and diversity protection.

Analyzing the Worldwide Wetland Parks Research: A Spectral-Cluster Algorithm Latent Semantic Index Approach

“…Further, Song et al [39] indicated that reducing water pollution, protecting biodiversity, maintaining the structural integrity of wetlands, practicing erosion regulation, decreasing flood hazards, and managing stormwater are important measures for protecting wetland parks. As a composite product of 'wetland' and 'park', the coordination problem of wetland park ecological protection and utilization has long attracted academic attention and discussion [21,40,41]. However, few scholars have systematically studied wetland parks from an international perspective based on the viewpoint of multidisciplinary integration.…”

Towards Effective, Sustainable Solution for Hospital Wastewater Treatment to Cope with the Post-Pandemic Era

“…CWs not only perform effectively in terms of wastewater treatment but also add a substantial amount of organic matter to the soil after the decomposition of plant debris. Additionally, the plants' biomass can be used to produce energy [97,98]. CWs play a positive role in sustaining biomass, managing water storage, and refilling groundwater [99,100].…”

The Changes in Dominant Driving Factors in the Evolution Process of Wetland in the Yellow River Delta during 2015–2022

“…Many scholars have carried out research on wetland restoration [8], the evaluation of wetland ecological functions [9], and the comprehensive management of wetlands [10] in the YRD. In recent years, the monitoring and prediction of wetland changes [11][12][13][14], the driving mechanisms of wetland changes [15][16][17][18], and wetland protection and restoration [19] in the YRD has received increasing attention. The estimation of wetland biomass [20,21] and carbon storage [22][23][24] has gradually become a research hotspot.…”
