Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry
Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological
services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as …

Future response of global coastal wetlands to sea-level rise
The response of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise during the twenty-first century remains
uncertain. Global-scale projections suggest that between 20 and 90 per cent (for low and …

Marsh resilience to sea-level rise reduced by storm-surge barriers in the Venice Lagoon
Salt marshes are important coastal habitats and provide ecosystem services to surrounding
communities. They are, however, threatened by accelerating sea-level rise and sediment …

Coastal wetland loss, consequences, and challenges for restoration
X Li, R Bellerby, C Craft, SE Widney - Anthropocene Coasts, 2018 - cdnsciencepub.com
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 …

Declining sediments and rising seas: an unfortunate convergence for tidal wetlands
NB Weston - Estuaries and Coasts, 2014 - Springer
The availability of suspended sediments will be a dominant factor influencing the stability of
tidal wetlands as sea levels rise. Watershed-derived sediments are a critical source of …

Loss of geomorphic diversity in shallow tidal embayments promoted by storm-surge barriers
Coastal flooding prevention measures, such as storm-surge barriers, are being widely
adopted globally because of the accelerating rise in sea levels. However, their impacts on …

Recent acceleration of wetland accretion and carbon accumulation along the US East Coast
The long‐term stability of coastal wetlands is determined by interactions among sea level,
plant primary production, sediment supply, and wetland vertical accretion. Human activities …

Modeling decadal salt marsh development: variability of the salt marsh edge under influence of waves and sediment availability
Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the protection
depends on the width of the marsh. The cross‐shore width of the marsh is to a large extent …
