| Notes | This article reviews studies on arthropod assemblages from 87 wetland sites in 13 West Coast estuaries. What are the distribution and abundance of these animals? How does human-caused change to the environment affect them? It turns out that restoring wetlands, such as those in the Salmon River Estuary, causes arthropod abundance to increase rapidly. “These results suggest that restoration of tidal influence to leveed wetlands can rapidly restore some components of estuarine wetland ecosystems but that recovery of other components will take longer and may depend on the extent of anthropogenic modification of the surrounding landscape.” (from the Abstract) |
