Between the land and ocean, diverse coastal ecosystems transform, store, and transport material. Across these interfaces, the dynamic exchange of energy and matter is driven by hydrological and hydrodynamic processes such as river and groundwater discharge, tides, waves, and storms. These dynamics regulate ecosystem functions and Earth’s climate, yet global models lack representation of coastal processes and related feedbacks, impeding their predictions of coastal and global responses to change. Here, we assess existing coastal monitoring networks and regional models, existing challenges in these efforts, and recommend a path towards development of global models that more robustly reflect the coastal interface.

Geography and associated hydrological, hydroclimate and land-use conditions and their changes determine the states and dynamics of wetlands and their ecosystem services. The influences of these controls are not limited to just the local scale of each individual wetland but extend over larger landscape areas that integrate multiple wetlands and their total hydrological catchment – the wetlandscape. However, the data and knowledge of conditions and changes over entire wetlandscapes are still scarce, limiting the capacity to accurately understand and manage critical wetland ecosystems and their services under global change. We present a new Wetlandscape Change Information Database (WetCID), consisting of geographic, hydrological, hydroclimate and land-use information and data for 27 wetlandscapes around the world. This combines survey-based local information with geographic shapefiles and gridded datasets of large-scale hydroclimate and land-use conditions and their changes over whole wetlandscapes. Temporally, WetCID contains 30-year time series of data for mean monthly precipitation and temperature and annual land-use conditions. The survey-based site information includes local knowledge on the wetlands, hydrology, hydroclimate and land uses within each wetlandscape and on the availability and accessibility of associated local data. This novel database (available through PANGAEA https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.907398; Ghajarnia et al., 2019) can support site assessments; cross-regional comparisons; and scenario analyses of the roles and impacts of land use, hydroclimatic and wetland conditions, and changes in whole-wetlandscape functions and ecosystem services.

Percentile-Range Indexed Mapping and Evaluation (PRIME) is a new tool to visualize and quantifying spatio-temporal dynamics of long-term datasets. PRIME is based on categorical partitioning of magnitude based on user defined indices assigned to ranges of percentile and mapping subsets of data at selected percentiles of long-term data. Indices can reflect attributes such as water management decisions, tolerable range of water quality to a species, ecological risk, response to and recovery from disturbance, and values of ecosystem services. PRIME provides visual and robust datascapes and flexibility to evaluate variability in space and time for long-term environmental assessment. Here, we demonstrate the utility of PRIME using 16 years of hydrologic and salinity data from 14 sites representing three unique hydrological systems in the Florida Coastal Everglades (FCE). The resulting PRIME datascapes reveal interaction between water management and sea-level rise to drive salinity levels in the FCE.

Increases in the rate of sea level rise are likely to result in changes to disturbance-adapted coastal forests and associated freshwater resources over the next several decades. In this study, we investigated how the press disturbance of two decades of sea level rise altered island hydrology and interacted with pulse disturbances (frequent hurricane impacts) to alter coastal forest composition and structure. The research was conducted on two low-elevation islands located within the lower Florida Keys: Big Pine and Upper Sugarloaf Keys. Groundwater salinity and vegetation structure and composition were sampled in the early 1990s prior to impact from two hurricanes – Hurricanes Georges (1998) and Wilma (2005) – and again in 2012/2013 in permanent plots inside and outside the boundaries of the islands’ freshwater lenses. Using linear mixed effects modeling, we examined whether groundwater salinity varied over time among locations, and investigated whether this variation was reflected in changes in forest structure and composition in three height strata. The results of this analysis revealed that groundwater salinity underlying plots outside the freshwater lens increased over the two decades, while salinity of groundwater at plots inside the freshwater lens remained stable. The greatest shift in composition occurred in the understory strata along a gradient of increasing salinity, and plots located outside the freshwater lens gained species typical of tidally-influenced buttonwood forest and lost glycophytic species. Viewed against the background of recurring hurricane impacts, these findings suggest that sea level rise is currently altering both groundwater resources and the composition of coastal forests in the Florida Keys. Similar dynamics should be observed in low-lying coastal forests within ocean basins subject to increased tropical cyclone activity. Management of these island coastal forests must now consider the continually shifting nature of the resource in light of acceleration in sea level rise.

Carbonate terrains (CT) underlie one-fifth of terrestrial, ice-free land and are an important supply of potable water to the world's population, and yet processes endemic to CT critical zones (CZ) and responses of these processes to climatic and anthropogenic pressures are not well understood. Given the rapid dissolution rates and ability to generate well-developed networks of secondary porosity these landscapes can be highly sensitive to impacts from climate change (e.g., modifications of temperature, precipitation, sea level) and human disturbance (e.g., water withdrawal/diversions, changes in land use/land cover). This special issue includes 16 papers focused on CT-CZ processes and potential responses to climatic and human perturbations. Five major themes emerge from these papers, namely: (1) anthropogenic climate and land use changes alter CT-CZ weathering rate and diagenesis, (2) metal and carbon fluxes in CT-CZ will respond to increasing hydrologic variance caused by climate change, (3) endogenous and exogenous processes operating over short time periods (<10,000 yrs) form landscape patterns in carbonate terrains, (4) rates of carbonate mineral dissolution depend on vadose zone and soil thickness, and (5) open systems may not always promote greater carbonate weathering rates in CT-CZ. These findings reflect the importance of carbonate minerals in Earth's CZ, both in terms of processes unique to carbonate minerals, as well as a predictor of future responses to anthropogenic and environmental changes.

Wetlands are often vital physical and social components of a country’s natural capital, as well as providers of ecosystem services to local and national communities. We performed a network analysis to prioritize Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets for sustainable development in iconic wetlands and wetlandscapes around the world. The analysis was based on the information and perceptions on 45 wetlandscapes worldwide by 49 wetland researchers of the Global Wetland Ecohydrological Network (GWEN). We identified three 2030 Agenda targets of high priority across the wetlandscapes needed to achieve sustainable development: Target 6.3—“Improve water quality”; 2.4—“Sustainable food production”; and 12.2—“Sustainable management of resources”. Moreover, we found specific feedback mechanisms and synergies between SDG targets in the context of wetlands. The most consistent reinforcing interactions were the influence of Target 12.2 on 8.4—“Efficient resource consumption”; and that of Target 6.3 on 12.2. The wetlandscapes could be differentiated in four bundles of distinctive priority SDG-targets: “Basic human needs”, “Sustainable tourism”, “Environmental impact in urban wetlands”, and “Improving and conserving environment”. In general, we find that the SDG groups, targets, and interactions stress that maintaining good water quality and a “wise use” of wetlandscapes are vital to attaining sustainable development within these sensitive ecosystems.

We present a new Priority Rated Optimization Model (PROM) for multi-sector water resource assessment, allocation and management. PROM utilizes flow duration curves (FDC), demand-to-supply ratio (DSR) and utility indices (UI) to evaluate and optimize priority based multi-sector water allocation. DSR links demand volume and priority with corresponding supply volume and likelihood derived from segmentation of FDC. The UI function assigns weights to ranges of DSR to assess the existing and potential alternative management scenarios. Supply reliability and UI values are used in a combinatorial optimization scheme to estimate allocated volume, flow rate and percent exceedance. PROM is applied in the Mara River Basin of Kenya/Tanzania, and results showed potential improvement over the current management practice towards sustainability of the Mara-Serengeti ecosystem. PROM bridges the gap between environmental and economic models while providing a user-friendly platform for direct stakeholder involvement to explore alternative water allocation scenarios.

Climate change will have long-lasting effects on the availability of fresh water on small, carbonate islands that have isolated fresh groundwater lenses, particularly as sea level rises and rainfall regimes shift. The carbonate islands of the Florida Keys provide an ideal location to study the effect of variable rainfall on the aqueous geochemistry of the islands' groundwater. In a rainfall-driven carbonate system, the expectation is that limestone dissolution will occur within the vadose zone resulting in increased ions in the groundwater. However, geochemical processes are also affected by the salinity of groundwater and the extent of the mixing zone between fresh and salt water. We chose two islands to conduct the study of the shallow groundwater: the largest island in the lower Florida Keys, Big Pine Key (BPK), and a smaller island, Upper Sugarloaf Key (SLK). From May 2011 through April 2012, monthly groundwater samples were collected from 24 shallow (1 m deep) wells located along a fresh to saline gradient on both islands. Groundwater chemistry was compared with rainfall amounts from a weather station on BPK. Saturation indices for aragonite and calcite, generated with geochemical modeling in PHREEQC, were compared to conservative mixing between Gulf of Mexico water and freshwater. Equilibrium to supersaturated conditions with respect to carbonate minerals dominated in all of the groundwater samples. Saturation indices varied with rainfall with the most supersaturated samples observed after a large rain event and samples approaching equilibrium after the longest period without rainfall. Calcium in excess of what would be expected from conservative mixing of fresh water and seawater was observed in all groundwater samples and was elevated at near-shore locations, especially on BPK. Contrary to expectations, dissolution resulting from mixing of freshwater and seawater was not supported in the shallow groundwater. Instead, dissolution within the narrow vadose zone from rain events likely results in the excess calcium in the aquifer. Seasonal fluctuations in groundwater composition were primarily observed on the smaller island and were related to the fresh water balance, changing rapidly after a heavy rain event.

Academic literature search is a vital step of every research project, especially in the face of the increasingly rapid growth of scientific knowledge. Semantic academic literature search is an approach to scientific article retrieval and ranking using concepts in an attempt to address well-known deficiencies of keyword-based search. The difficulty of semantic search, however, is that it requires significant knowledge engineering, often in the form of conceptual ontologies tailored to a particular scientific domain. It also requires non-trivial tuning, in the form of domain-specific term and concepts weights. As part of an ongoing project seeking to build a domain-specific semantic search system, we present an ontology-based supervised concept learning approach for the biogeochemical scientific literature. We first discuss the creation of a dataset of scientific articles in the biogeochemical domain annotated using the Environment Ontology (ENVO). Next we present a supervised machine learning classifier-a random decision forest-that uses a distinctive set of features to learn ENVO concepts and then label and index scientific articles at the sentence level. Finally, we evaluate our approach against two baseline methods, keyword-based and bag-of-words, achieving an overall performance of 0.76 F 1 measure, an improvement of approximately 50%.

Tree islands have been hypothesized to induce calcite precipitation by concentrating ions in the groundwater through evapotranspiration processes. This research investigates how lithology regulates the hydrologic and geochemical conditions within two types of constructed Everglades tree islands: peat-based and limestone-core surrounded by peat. Three years of hydrochemical and hydrologic data (2013–2015) obtained from the constructed tree islands suggest that under current climatic and managed hydrologic conditions, calcite dissolution is prevalent within the top meter of soil in both types of tree islands. Mass-balance calculations along groundwater flow paths in one peat-based tree island that contained clay at depth, indicated that calcite precipitation is likely 1 m below the soil surface. The lithological characteristics of that peat-based island supported a persistently depressed groundwater table, while tree islands with elevated ratios of peat-to-sand content did not. Limestone-core tree islands also supported a depressed water table, particularly during the dry season. This study determined that the lithology of a set of man-made Everglades tree islands played a primary role in regulating the seasonal fluctuation of the water table and hydrogeochemical processes. Understanding the mechanisms of tree-island formation and maintenance is important for preserving the overall ecosystem function of the freshwater-Everglades.

Since the 1880s, hydrological modification of the Greater Florida Everglades has reduced water levels and flows in Everglades National Park (ENP). The Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Program (CERP) began in 2000 to restore pre-drainage flows and preserve the natural landscape of the Everglades. However, sea-level rise (SLR) was not considered in the development of CERP. We used long-term data (2001–2016) from the Florida Coastal Everglades-Long Term Ecological Research Program to quantify and model the spatial dynamics of water levels, salinity, and nutrients in response to changes in climate, freshwater management and SLR in the Shark River Slough (SRS), ENP. Results indicate that fresh-to-marine head difference (FMHD) was the single most important factor affecting marine-to-freshwater hydrologic connectivity and transport of salinity and phosphorous upstream from the Gulf of Mexico. Sea-level has increasingly exceeded ground surface elevation at the most downstream freshwater site in SRS, thereby reducing the FMHD. We showed a higher impact of SLR in the dry season when there was practically no freshwater inflow to raise FMHD. We also demonstrated effectiveness of inflow depends more on the monthly distribution than the total annual volume. Hence, the impact per unit volume of inflow is significantly higher in the dry season in preventing high salinity and marine-derived nutrient levels. We advocate that FMHD needs to be factored into water management decisions to reduce adverse and likely irreversible effects of SLR throughout the Everglades landscape.

Literature search is a vital step of every research project. Semantic literature search is an approach to article retrieval and ranking using concepts rather than keywords, in an attempt to address the well-known deficiencies of keyword-based search, namely, (1) retrieval of an overwhelming number of results, (2) rankings that do not precisely reflect true relevance, and (3) the omission of relevant results because they do not contain the idiosyncratic keywords of the query. The difficulty of semantic search, however, is that it requires significant knowledge engineering, often in the form of conceptual ontologies tailored to a particular scientific domain. It also requires non-trivial tuning, in the form of domain-specific term and concepts weights. Here we present preliminary, work-in-progress results in the development of a semantic search system for the biogeochemical scientific literature. We report the following initial steps: first, one of the co-authors-a biogeochemistry expert-wrote a sample search query, and ranked the five most relevant articles that were returned for that query from a popular keyword-based search engine. We then hand annotated the five articles and the query with the Environmental Ontology (ENVO), an existing ontology for the domain. Critically, this pilot annotation revealed a number of missing concepts that we will add in future work. We then showed that a straightforward ontology distance metric between concepts in the search query and the five articles was sufficient to produce the expected ranking. We discuss the implications of these results, and outline next steps required produce a full-fledged semantic search system for the biogeochemistry scientific literature.

The Shark and Harney rivers, located on the southwest coast of Florida, USA, originate in the freshwater, karstic marshes of the Everglades and flow through the largest contiguous mangrove forest in North America. In November 2010 and 2011, dissolved carbon source–sink dynamics was examined in these rivers during SF6 tracer release experiments. Approximately 80 % of the total dissolved carbon flux out of the Shark and Harney rivers during these experiments was in the form of inorganic carbon, either via air–water CO2 exchange or longitudinal flux of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) to the coastal ocean. Between 42 and 48 % of the total mangrove-derived DIC flux into the rivers was emitted to the atmosphere, with the remaining being discharged to the coastal ocean. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) represented ca. 10 % of the total mangrove-derived dissolved carbon flux from the forests to the rivers. The sum of mangrove-derived DIC and DOC export from the forest to these rivers was estimated to be at least 18.9 to 24.5 mmol m−2 d−1, a rate lower than other independent estimates from Shark River and from other mangrove forests. Results from these experiments also suggest that in Shark and Harney rivers, mangrove contribution to the estuarine flux of dissolved carbon to the ocean is less than 10 %.

The Shark and Harney Rivers, located on the southwest coast of Florida, USA, originate in the freshwater, karstic marshes of the Everglades and flow through the largest contiguous mangrove forest in North America. In November 2010 and 2011, dissolved carbon source-sink dynamics were examined in these rivers during SF6 tracer release experiments. Approximately 80 % of the total dissolved carbon flux from all sources (i.e., freshwater wetlands, mangrove, carbonate dissolution, and marine input) out of the Shark and Harney Rivers during these experiments was as inorganic carbon, either via air-water CO2 exchange or longitudinal flux of inorganic carbon to the coastal ocean. Of the total mangrove-derived dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) exported from the forests into these rivers, between 42 and 48 % was emitted to the atmosphere, with the remaining discharged to the coastal ocean. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) represented ca. 10 % of the total mangrove-derived dissolved carbon export from the forests. The sum of mangrove-derived DIC and DOC export to these rivers was estimated to be at least 18.9 to 24.5 mmol m−2 d−1, a rate lower than other independent estimates from Shark River and from other mangrove forests. Results from these experiments also suggest that in this region, mangrove contribution to the estuarine flux of dissolved carbon to the ocean is less than 10 %.

Wetland ecosystems are controlled by their hydrology. Recent experimental and numerical investigations have suggested that flow pulses are needed to preserve sediment redistribution in some wetlands. In this study, the authors investigate the effect of pulsed-flow conditions on the hydrologic regime of low-gradient densely vegetated wetlands using a fine-resolution, two-dimensional depth-averaged numerical flow model. The model was applied to simulate flow depth and velocity within the Loxahatchee Impoundment Landscape Assessment (LILA) wetland located in Boynton Beach, Florida. Two pulsed-flow conditions with low-pulse and high-pulse flow magnitude were considered. The simulation results of low-pulse flow conditions reveal the areas within deep sloughs where flow velocities and directions change continuously, creating enhanced mixing areas within the deep slough. These mixing areas may have the potential to affect processes such as sediment redistribution and nutrient transport. Simulation of high-pulse flow magnitude, however, results in more uniform flow velocity inside deep slough. It also indicates that a pulse can only be detected when inflow discharge is at least 3.0 m3/s. Lower inflow discharge values are too weak in magnitude to generate substantial changes in water surface elevation and velocity and they may not exhibit a flow wave propagation into the study area.

Highlights•Water balance, flushing time and water chemistry of Taylor Slough were investigated.•Flushing times varied between 3 (May) and 78 (December) days.•Flushing times were negatively correlated with evapotranspiration (ET).•Surface water concentrations of ions were negatively correlated with flushing times. AbstractUpstream water diversions have significantly reduced freshwater flow to coastal wetlands of the Everglades. The purpose of this research was to investigate the water balance, flushing time, and water chemistry of Taylor Slough; one of the main natural waterways of the coastal Everglades, during its early stages of restoration. Both the water balance and flushing times were calculated on a monthly basis from 2001 to 2011. Surface water chemistry was analyzed using 3-day composite samples collected every 18 h. Current restoration efforts have been able to increase surface water inputs to southern Taylor Slough, but rainfall was still the dominant water input. Flushing times varied between 3 and 78 days, with the highest values occurring in December and the lowest in May. Flushing times were negatively correlated with evapotranspiration (ET), but were longer when surface water volume exceeded ET and shorter when ET exceeded water volume. Surface water concentrations of calcium and chloride along with total nitrogen and total phosphorus were negatively correlated with flushing times. The results herein suggest that in coastal wetlands with low quantities of surface water inputs, ET and surface water volume influenced by rainfall are the most dominant factors influencing flushing times and water chemistry. Increased surface water inflows with additional restoration efforts would be expected to increase surface water volumes into southern Taylor Slough, thereby increasing flushing times and decreasing ion and nutrient concentrations.
