Shifts in soil bacterial populations linked to wetland restoration success
A new study led by Duke University researchers finds that restoring degraded wetlands -- especially those that had been converted into farm fields -- actually decreases their soil bacterial diversity. view more (2008-11-13)
Expert to Discuss Phosphorus' Impact on Gulf 'Dead Zone'
Phosphorus is an essential element in production agriculture, however fertilizer runoff and wastewater discharge have led to massive eutrophication problems in water bodies worldwide. view more (2009-10-29)
'Doing Away With Restoration Subsidies is Short Sighted'
Doing away with so called 'kanjersubsidies' for the restoration of important monuments such as the St-Jan's Cathedral in Den Bosch would be short sighted. That is the opinion of Prof.Ir. Rob van Hees, who will give an inaugural speech for his chair in the field of Conservation Techniques at the Faculty of Architecture at TU Deft, on Friday 19... view more... (2004-11-17)
Help Students Think like Soil Scientists
Emphasizing cross-disciplinary concepts in teaching soil science courses, such as mass-volume relationships, can help undergraduates learn real-world, problem-solving skills that are crucial to their success in soil science careers. view more (2009-09-29)
Integrating restoration and conservation within the ecosystem approach
The Society for Ecological Restoration International (SER) released its May 2008 Briefing Note on the "Opportunities for Integrating Ecological Restoration & Biological Conservation within the Ecosystem Approach" at the Convention on Biological Diversity's Ninth Conference of the Parties held in Bonn, Germany, May 19-30, 2008. view more (2008-05-19)
Wetlands Restoration Not a Panacea for Louisiana Coast
Counting on wetlands restoration projects to protect storm buffeted infrastructure along the Louisiana Coast is likely to be a "losing battle" that provides "false hope" and prevents endangered communities from clearly planning for their future, says a researcher from Western Carolina University (WCU). view more (2008-09-29)
New research offers prioritization plan for reducing nutrient pollution in feeder streams
To help resource managers improve the health of coastal waters degraded by nutrient pollution, a group of scientists has developed a framework for prioritizing stream restoration efforts aimed at reducing the amount of nitrogen flowing downstream. view more (2008-02-12)
Research studies techniques for conservation and restoration of color photographs
The conservation and restoration of photographs is a topic that, in general, has not been very much researched. For example, in the case of coloured or illuminated photographs, there does not currently exist an appropriate methodology, given that it there is not sufficient information about their material characteristics and structure. view more (2009-11-06)
Ecological restoration as a tool for reversing ecosystem fragmentation
Ecosystem fragmentation, along with many other global trends, is causing the natural world to undergo profound changes at all spatial scales from the micro-habitat to the continental. view more (2008-10-09)
UMCES-led research team quantifies nutrient pollution reductions from urban stream restoration
A team of researchers led by University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science researcher Dr. Sujay Kaushal has been among the first able to quantify the amount of excess nitrogen removed from an urban stream during environmental restoration projects. view more (2008-05-01)
Commercial aquatic plants offer cost-effective method for treating wastewater
Nursery and greenhouse operations depend on the use of fertilizers, growth regulators, insecticides, and fungicides. Growers also rely on the use of soilless media, or substrate, in the production of container crops. view more (2008-09-30)
LSU and Ohio State Battle on Football Field, Collaborate in Research Field
LSU and Ohio State University will battle for the BCS National College Football Championship in the Superdome early next week, but if the game was held in the Louisiana wetlands instead, the entire field would disappear before halftime. view more (2008-01-07)
How healthy is that marsh? Biologists count parasites
Is that salt marsh healthy? To answer this, Sea Grant biologists are cracking open common marsh snails and counting parasitic worms. Their claim: the more parasites, the healthier the marsh. view more (2006-05-19)
Researchers disprove long-standing belief about HIV treatment
Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have disproved a long-standing clinical belief that the hepatitis C virus slows or stunts the immune system's ability to restore itself after HIV patients are treated with a combination of drugs known as the "cocktail." view more (2008-07-25)
LSU researchers publish commentary on delta preservation with coastal science experts
The Mississippi River delta region is of huge economic importance to the nation. As a "working coast," much of the South's major industries - particularly seafood and petroleum - are largely dependent on the health of the delta and its surrounding areas. After the 2005 hurricane season, however, experts are voicing growing concerns over... view more... (2007-03-23)
Can brain-injured, partially-blind stroke patients regain some of their lost vision?
Is it possible to offer hope for stroke patients who've lose part of their vision? A study published by SAGE in the journal Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair explores that question. view more (2007-09-05)
Using plants and microbes to purify polluted industrial wastewater
Wetlands are nature's water filters. They collect water around river mouths and marshes, and whole communities of plants and micro-organisms feed off detritus in these murky depths. Conventional chemical treatments of industrial waters consume cash, energy and time. Wetlands, by contrast, grow and clean themselves while they act as... view more... (2003-10-07)
Watersports are a breeding nuisance
More than one-third of the UK’s wetlands is suffering high levels of disturbance, according to a new study by the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT). Speaking at the British Ecological Society’s Winter Meeting, to be held at the University of Warwick on 18–20 December 2001, Dr James Robinson of the WWT will warn that the impact... view more...

Vision restoration therapy shown to improve brain activity in brain injured patients
Columbia University Medical Center researchers have demonstrated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), that brain activity was increased in stroke and traumatic brain injury survivors who underwent Vision Restoration Therapy (VRT), a rehabilitative treatment that helps these patients recover lost vision. view more (2007-08-14)
The Bay Is His Oyster: Ray Grizzle Is Restoring Oyster Reefs To NH's Great Bay
In the past decade, the oyster population in New Hampshire's Great Bay estuary has plummeted by 90 percent, due to the 1995 arrival of the oyster disease MSX. view more (2006-05-12)
