  • Publication number: 20240010534
    Abstract: A target based unit form tidal flat wetland restoration method comprises: (1) determining a target, (2) constructing an ecological unit by microtopography transformation on the tidal flat wetland required to be restored, (3) applying biochar material and salt-resistant ecological material within the ecological unit, (4) performing waterfront plant configuration within the ecological unit. The restoration method uses the natural tidal ebb and flow to adjust water and salt conditions in the ecological unit (salt content is reduced by more than 80%) and maintaining the target water level (0-2 m), optimized the structure of soil microbial community (the abundance of soil bacteria has been increased by more than 200%), improved the germination rate and survival rate of plants during tidal flat restoration process (the germination rate has reached more than 90%, and the survival rate has been increased to more than 62%), enriched plant species in waterfront zone (?12 species).
