Enhancement of phosphorus storage capacity of sediments by coastal wetland restoration, Yellow River Delta, China

Yellow River Delta has a special status of coastal wetland research in China. The microbial community characteristics such as community structure, activity and size in the wetland were investigated in the modern Yellow River Delta of Shandong Province. The aim was to find the effect of salinity on the microbial community. There was a significant negative linear relationship between soluble salt content and the total number of microbes, overall microbial activity, and diversity of culturally viable microbes. Differences of the soil bacterial community in different depths were monitored using the terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) and clone library analyses. In a word, these results indicate that higher salinity and deeper depth resulted in a smaller, more stressed microbial community which was less active and diverse .

Road Verge

The 26 sample sites in 7 study plots adjacent to asphalt road and earth road in coastal wetland in the Yellow River Delta were selected to quantify plant diversity using quadrat sampling method in plant bloom phase of July and August 2012. The indice ofβTand Jaccard’s coefficient were applied to evaluate the species diversity. The results showed that the plant diversities and alien plants were high in the range of 0–20 m to the road verge. There were more exotics and halophytes in plots of asphalt roadside than that of earth roadside. However, proportion of halophytes in habitats of asphalt roadsides was lower than that of earth roadside. By comparingβ-diversity, there were more common species in the asphalt roadsides than that in the earth roadsides. The similarity of plant communities in studied plots of asphalt roadsides and earth roadsides increased with increasing the distance to road verge. The effect range of roads for plant diversity in study region was about 20 m to road verge. Our results indicate that the construction and maintenance of roads in wetland could increase the plant species diversities of communities and risk of alien species invasion.
