“…Additionally, further research is necessary to examine the influence of different sediment components on cohesiveness, as the number of sediment samples available in this study was limited. With the development of in situ observation technology, more comprehensive sub‐bed turbulence characteristics, biological interactions, and even electrochemical processes will be captured by instruments in the future and used to deeply investigate the sediment initiation process (Jin et al., 2022; Malarkey et al., 2015; Righetti & Lucarelli, 2007).…”

“…In subsequent laboratory experiments, researchers gradually added to the understanding and pointed out that the threshold value is mainly determined by the physical properties of the sediment and is a multiparameter function. Grain size, sediment components (Pähtz et al., 2020), grain shape (Grabowski et al., 2011), the cohesiveness of fine grain size sediment (Panagiotopoulos et al., 1997), turbulence effect (Righetti & Lucarelli, 2007), and biogeochemistry effect (Jin et al., 2022) all influence the magnitude of the threshold, and the most original Shields curve was gradually refined into a family of Shields curves (Beheshti & Ataie‐Ashtiani, 2008; Paphitis, 2001). Nevertheless, in the complex field environment, especially in fine sediment environments, researchers found that the empirical formula results cannot well respond to the measured initiation threshold (Shi et al., 2020; Y. Yang et al., 2019), which in turn affects the accuracy of the calculation results of the sediment transport numerical models.…”

The initiation threshold of sediment motion, a key component in quantifying sediment transport, has potential link to intermittent turbulence bursts. Here, we elaborated in situ experiments on coastal sea bottom covered with cohesive sediments, to obtain intermittency parameters. The variable “waiting time” between turbulence bursts was utilized to capture the occurrence of sediment initiation events in natural waters. A relationship between waiting time and shear stress reveals the different intermittency features of sediment flux time series before and after reaching the threshold, which can be used to determine the initiation threshold of sediment motion. Multi‐site results demonstrate the limitations of traditional empirical formulae for fine‐grained sediments, where cohesiveness becomes more pronounced as grain size decreases and the deviation can reach 600%. The empirical formula was modified using grain size, and the modified calculations were in good agreement with observed values, which will greatly assist in sediment transport and geomorphology model predictions.

“…While the resuspension of sediment in shallow coastal areas can limit the depth range of certain biogenic species, such as seagrass (Carr et al, 2010), it can also avail nutrients that stimulate primary productivity and increased biomass of filter feeders (as seen with the freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea; Zhang et al, 2023). Conversely, while sediment resuspension might benefit primary production, secondary production can be inhibited, thereby reducing the capacity to support higher trophic levels (e.g., as suggested by Jin et al, 2022). Future work should consider ways to compare primary and secondary production at prospective sites and whether differences correspond with variations in translocated mussel survival.…”

Where the wild things aren’t: exploring the utility of rapid, small-scale translocations to improve site selection for shellfish restoration

The assessment of site suitability is a crucial step for informing future successful species reintroductions. It ensures that translocated species have the highest chance of survival in their new environment while minimising ecological risks. However, it can be challenging when risk factors are unknown, especially when working with sessile species that cannot easily relocate to more favourable conditions. Under these scenarios, rapid (1-2 week-long), small-scale (< 1 m2) experimental translocations can help reduce uncertainty and improve restoration outcomes. This study conducted small-scale experimental translocations of green-lipped mussels, Perna canaliculus, to 11 shallow coastal sites spread across Tīkapa Moana/the Hauraki Gulf, Aotearoa/New Zealand to investigate the relationship between predator abundance, environmental factors, and mussel loss to help refine existing site selection criteria. The total number of known mussel predators counted from timelapse images was used as a proxy for potential predator pressure. Translocated mussel survival ranged from 10 - 99% and was best predicted by current speed, wind direction, predator abundance, water clarity, and depth (adjusted R2 = 0.505). Predator abundance was best explained by site location (p = 0.001) and had weak correlations among environmental parameters (Rho = 0.067). These results suggest that small, short-term (1-2 week) experimental translocations can help to refine site selection criteria and reduce uncertainty in the site-selection process for larger-scale shellfish reintroduction efforts with unknown and/or hard-to-control risk factors.

“…The mean algal abundance was lower (2966 cells/mL) with mean transparency decreased to only 0.8 m. According to the study of Liu et al (2016) [15], it is beneficial to increase the chlorophyll a concentration and algal abundance at a higher water level. Carlson (1991) [36] and Jin et al (2021) [37] also demonstrated that inorganic particles (and sediment resuspension or suspended solids) have a negative impact on algal biomass. Smith (1990) Based on the historical data of water quality parameters and a simple regression analysis, it was found that the water level of 230.43 m seems to be an important threshold affecting the trophic status of Shihmen Reservoir.…”

Water level fluctuation (WLF) is one of the important factors that affect reservoir water quality, habitat, species, and ecosystems. In this study, an independent sample t-test was used to evaluate the trophic status and water quality of the spatial and temporal variations with WLF in Shihmen Reservoir, Taiwan. The results of this study show that the Shihmen Reservoir has the lowest mean water level and higher potential of showing eutrophic status in April and May. This may be attributed to a lower water level, water depth, and transparency in this period. However, although there is no statistically significant difference in mean algal abundance in spring compared with other seasons, seasonal mean algae abundance and the seasonal mean Carlson’s trophic status index (CTSI) show as highly and positively correlated. It means that the increase in the CTSI value may not only be caused by effects on the sediment increase but also by algal proliferation. Mean water depth seems to be one of the important key indexes for reservoir management regarding trophic status since it reflects water quality and can be easy to obtain. This study suggests that reservoir administration can use the water level as a reference threshold for controlling CTSI strategies. In proper hydrological conditions, administration should try to hold a higher water level in a reservoir to downgrade CTSI.
