“…With respect to individual foraging patterns, our Long-toed Stints appeared to have lower step rates in the wastewater treatment ponds where there was probably higher invertebrate abundance compared to the salt-pans, although salt-pans are also thought be suitable human-modified habitat for shorebirds of the region (Yasue and Dearden 2009;Sripanomyom et al 2011). However, we found that food abundance tended to wane toward the end of the migration period (FebruaryApril) in both habitats regardless of the differences in prey species composition.…”

“…The study was conducted from August 2006-April 2008 at the Laem Phak Bia Environmental Research and Development Project (Laem Phak Bia), Phetchaburi Province (13° 02' 59.75" N, 100° 05' 13.64" E) in south central Thailand (Fig. 1), a site known to harbor one of the highest diversities of shorebirds in the Inner Gulf (Sripanomyom et al 2011). Habitats within and around Laem Phak Bia consisted of wastewater treatment , mangroves, and intertidal mudflats.…”

“…It would thus be interesting to assess the value of the food provision service by investigating food production in further study. As suggested by earlier studies, appropriate management would result in the increased energy of foraging birds so that the value of the salt pan habitat would be increased (Velasquez, ; Paracuellos et al ., ; Sripanomyom et al ., ).…”

Water Management to Enhance Ecosystem Services in a Coastal Wetland in Taiwan

Wetlands provide multiple ecosystem services, and wetland hydrology is one of the key determinants of wetland function. Budai Salt Pan Wetland provides at least 11 ecosystem services, i.e. food provision, genetic materials, climate regulation, water purification and treatment, natural hazard regulation, pollination, spiritual and inspirational, recreational, aesthetic, educational and nutrient cycling. As the wetland is completely encompassed by dikes, there is no natural hydrological connectivity, and the wetland frequently dries out during the dry season due to lack of management and insufficient rainfall. In order to enhance wetland function, including habitat quality and ecosystem services, this study created a water management plan which mimics nature through water gate operation. We conducted experimental gate operations and evaluated the potential impacts on ecosystem services. The results show a positive impact on two of the ecosystem services, climate regulation and genetic materials, due to the increased moisture content and feeding bird individuals after gate operation. There was an insignificant change in the natural hazard regulation service as the gate operation tested in this study addressed issues of water supply rather than increasing detention space through draining. Through mimicking nature, sustainable water management techniques have the potential to enhance ecosystem services in wetlands. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…They are relatively easy to monitor and, for many major wetlands, waterbird counts represent the only ongoing form of environmental monitoring. Repeated studies have emphasized the importance of artificial wetlands for waterbirds (Sripanomyom et al , Márquez‐Ferrando et al ). Much less attention has been paid to the value of restored wetlands for waterbirds (Sebastián‐González and Green ).…”

Reduction of avian diversity in created versus natural and restored wetlands

Natural wetland ecosystems continue to suffer widespread destruction and degradation. Many recent studies argue that artificial or restored wetlands compensate for wetland loss and are valuable for waterbird conservation. However, detailed comparisons of the value of natural, artificial and restored wetlands are lacking. Our aim was to assess if the restoration or creation of wetlands can fully compensate for the loss of natural wetlands for waterbirds. We compared the waterbird communities in a set of 20 natural, restored and artificial wetlands, all of which are considered important for waterbirds and are located within the same protected area (Doñana Natural Space, south‐west Spain). We used different measures of diversity, including phylogenetic relatedness, and the proportion of threatened species at national, European and international levels. We found that artificial wetlands have consistently lower value than restored and natural wetlands, with little difference between the latter two. Natural wetlands are essential for conserving diversity across the tree of life and for threatened species, but restored wetlands can be of similar value and can assure maintenance of key ecological processes. Thus, when economic costs per unit area are similar, resources for wetland conservation are better invested in restoration projects than in wetland creation, and caution is required when suggesting that artificial wetlands compensate for the loss of natural wetlands.
