Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological
services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as …

The resilience of socio-ecological systems to sea level rise, storms and flooding can be
enhanced when coastal habitats are used as natural infrastructure. Grey infrastructure has …

This chapter of the New York City Panel on Climate Change 4 (NPCC4) report provides a
comprehensive description of the different types of flood hazards (pluvial, fluvial, coastal …

Tidal salt marsh is a key defense against, yet is especially vulnerable to, the effects of
accelerated sea level rise. To determine whether salt marshes in southern New England will …

Tidal marshes and the ecosystem services they provide may be at risk from sea-level rise
(SLR). Tidal marsh resilience to SLR can vary due to differences in local rates of SLR …

Sea level rise is causing shoreline erosion, increased coastal flooding, and marsh
vulnerability to the impact of storms. Coastal marshes provide flood abatement, carbon and …

Sea level rise is a major stressor on many salt marshes, and its impacts include creek
widening, ponding, vegetation dieback, and drowning. Marsh vegetation changes have …

Recent models of tidal marsh evolution rely largely on the premise that plants are most
productive at an optimal flooding regime that occurs when soil elevations are somewhere …

Salt marshes are one of the most productive ecosystems and provide numerous ecosystem
services. However, they are seriously threatened by human activities and sea level rise. One …

Coastal wetland plants are adapted to varying degrees of inundation. However, functional
relationships between inundation and productivity are poorly characterized for most species …
