A development phase preceded an on-line survey completed by chaplains and pastoral practitioners (n = 40) employed by a major Australian aged care provider. The survey covered the purpose of pastoral care, key tasks and resources, current and future challenges, and participants' responses to challenges. The biggest issue was heavy demand on participants' time, due to insufficient staff and demanding organisational procedures. A commonly mentioned challenge with future implications was increasing resident acuity. Respondents were dedicated and enthusiastic, despite heavy workloads and occasional difficulty working with care staff or management.To explore the effects of exogenous nitrogen (N) import on decomposition of Suaeda salsa in coastal marsh of the Yellow River estuary, the decomposition rates and the variations of nutrient (C, N, P, and S) in decomposing litters were investigated from May 2014 to November 2015. The in situ experiment included four N addition treatments N0 (no N import treatment, 0 g N·m-2·year-1), Nlow (low N import treatment, 3.0 g N·m-2·year-1), Nmedium (medium N import treatment, 6.0 g N·m-2·year-1), and Nhigh (high N import treatment, 12.0 g N·m-2·year-1). Results showed that N enrichment showed significant influence on the decomposition rate of S. salsa, in the order of Nmedium (0.00112 d-1) > Nhigh (0.00096 d-1) > Nlow(0.00092 d-1) > N0 (0.00075 d-1) (p less then 0.05). Compared to the N0 treatment, the decomposition rates of S. salsa in the Nlow, Nmedium, and Nhigh treatments increased by 22.76%, 49.33%, and 28.00%, respectively. The contents of TC in decomposing litters in the four N import treatments generally sho of nutrient return, as N enrichment reached or exceeded Nmedium level in future, the deficient status of P and S in S. salsa marsh might be serious, which would affect the stability and health of
