This study investigates the floating wind turbine (FWT)–Net cage integrated platform, where the net cage is rigidly connected to the FWT foundation. The platform is numerically modeled using time-domain simulations in OrcaFlex V11.1, based on representative environmental conditions of the South China Sea. The operational performance of two layouts of the platform is evaluated and compared, considering both power generation eff...

To halt and reverse the trends of ecosystem loss and degradation under global change, nations globally are promoting ecosystem restoration. Restoration is particularly crucial to coastal wetlands (including tidal marshes, mangrove forests, and tidal flats), which are among the most important ecosystems on Earth but have been severely depleted and degraded. In this review, we explore the question of how to make restoration more...

The allocation and stoichiometry of plant nutrients in leaves reflect fundamental ecosystem processes, biotic interactions, and environmental drivers such as water availability. Climate change will lead to increases in drought severity and frequency, but how canopy nutrients will respond to drought, and how these responses may vary with community composition along aridity gradients is poorly understood. We experimentally addre...
