WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS
Editorial interpretation of evidence discussed in this edition.
WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ
The saltmarsh experiment is unusually relevant to the emerging decision framework. It demonstrates why an intervention category—“marsh restoration”—is too coarse for good decision-making. Treatment, elevation, tidal context, latitude and time changed the result. That is exactly the distinction between knowing the project type and understanding the ecological decision.
CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY
This connection draws a management lesson from the linked saltmarsh study. Transfer to other project types needs local evidence.
