Assessing multidimensional resilience using an eigenvalue-based local linear dynamic model: a case study of Hangzhou Bay coast zone, China
Coastal zones represent vital interfaces for ecological health, socioeconomic progress, and disaster mitigation, demanding robust resilience assessments. This study introduces an eigenvalue-based local linear dynamic model—a novel approach for evaluating multidimensional coastal resilience, utilizing stability, recoverability, and transformability as key state variables. Applied to the Hangzhou Bay coast zone (2010-2023), the model reveals generally improving resilience dimensions with varied temporal patterns. For further exploration of related challenges, see our article, "Evaluation of challenges to marine plastic waste management."
Editorial: Strategies for remediating marine and coastal pollution towards a sustainable development
## Editorial: Strategies for Remediating Marine and Coastal Pollution Towards Sustainable Development Marine and coastal pollution represents a critical impediment to global sustainability, demanding immediate and validated action. This editorial examines key strategies for mitigation, emphasizing integrated data ecosystems and collaborative approaches for measurable impact. Longitudinal studies and empirical evidence are essential for calibrating effective remediation efforts. Readers interested in the broader implications of environmental change may find our recent editorial, "The threat of invasive alien species and the challenge of climate change," particularly insightful.
Sandy littorals under threat: a comprehensive review of the impacts of climate change on plant-dominated components relevant to the Mediterranean littoral active zone
Climate change poses a significant threat to Mediterranean sandy littorals, impacting plant-dominated components critical for coastal resilience. This comprehensive review synthesizes existing literature on the effects of warming, acidification, sea-level rise, and other climate-induced stressors on seagrasses, wrack, and dune plants within the surf zone, beach, and foredune. Notably, research often isolates stressors, neglecting the complex interplay of multiple factors.
