TL;DR: Science must guide MDP restoration, which will provide insights into delta restoration elsewhere and generally into coasts facing climate change in times of resource scarcity.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a stream-monitoring data set collected from the Coastal Plain of Maryland, USA to address analytical challenges presented by collinearity of land-cover class percentages, spatial autocorrelation of land cover and stream data, intercorrelations among and spatial auto-correlation within abiotic intermediaries that link land cover to stream biota, and spatial arrangement of landcover within watersheds.

TL;DR: The literature on the ecology of woodland herbs is reviewed because a number of species have become rare or threatened owing to the conversion of forests to other land uses, competition by alien plant species, and increased abundance of native wildlife that negatively impact woodland herbs.

TL;DR: Patterns in plant-mediated processes that determine the rate of nutrient cycling in temperate fens and bogs are reported on and how the observed patterns were reflected in nutrient cycling at the ecosystem level is explored.

TL;DR: In this paper, point surveys were used to estimate the abundance and diversity of forest birds in relation to the size, degree of isolation, floristics, physiognomy, and successional maturity of 270 upland forest patches in the coastal plain province of Maryland.
