The significance of riparian vegetation on river flow and material transport is not in dispute.
Conveyance laws, sediment erosion and deposition, and element cycling must all be …

Salt marshes, most now embanked, together with genetically related wetlands and high
intertidal flats, make a major environmental contribution to the lowland coasts of Northwest …

Coastal wetlands mainly include ecosystems of mangroves, coral reefs, salt marsh, and sea
grass beds. As the buffer zone between land and sea, they are frequently threatened from …

Salt marsh ecosystems are maintained by the dominant macrophytes that regulate the
elevation of their habitat within a narrow portion of the intertidal zone by accumulating …

Salt marshes are delicate landforms at the boundary between the sea and land. These
ecosystems support a diverse biota that modifies the erosive characteristics of the substrate …

Plants are known to enhance sedimentation on intertidal marshes. It is unclear, however, if
the dominant mechanism of enhanced sedimentation is direct organic sedimentation …

Biologically mediated modifications of the abiotic environment, also called ecosystem
engineering, can significantly affect a broad range of ecosystems. Nevertheless, remarkably …

The impact of salt-water intrusion on microbial organic carbon (C) mineralization in tidal
freshwater marsh (TFM) soils was investigated in a year-long laboratory experiment in which …

The evolution of tidal marsh platforms and interwoven channel networks cannot be
addressed without treating the two-way interactions that link biological and physical …

We now understand that, morphologically, natural tidal marshes are generally near or
progressing rapidly toward dynamic equilibrium with sediment supply, vegetative growth …
