This review evaluates the importance of plants and associated biological processes in
determining the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise. Coastal wetlands occur …

Climate change is driving a fundamental reorganization of the coastal zone, in which carbon-
rich ecosystems are simultaneously migrating, accreting and submerging. In this Review, we …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

Much uncertainty exists about the vulnerability of valuable tidal marsh ecosystems to relative
sea level rise. Previous assessments of resilience to sea level rise, to which marshes can …

The response of mangroves to high rates of relative sea level rise (RSLR) is poorly
understood. We explore the limits of mangrove vertical accretion to sustained periods of …

Coastal wetlands are not only among the world's most valued ecosystems but also among
the most threatened by high greenhouse gas emissions that lead to accelerated sea level …

Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

Coastal marshes are threatened by relative sea-level (RSL) rise, yet recent studies predict
marsh survival even under the high rates of RSL rise expected later in this century. However …

A carbon budget for the northwest European continental shelf seas (NWES) was
synthesized using available estimates for coastal, pelagic and benthic carbon stocks and …

Recent studies have produced conflicting results as to whether coastal wetlands can keep
up with present‐day and future sea‐level rise. The stratigraphic record shows that threshold …
