Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

Coastal marshes are considered to be among the most valuable and vulnerable ecosystems
on Earth, where the imminent loss of ecosystem services is a feared consequence of sea …

Many systems on our planet shift abruptly and irreversibly from the desired state to an
undesired state when forced across a “tip** point”. Some examples are mass extinctions …

Vegetation recovery in disturbance‐driven ecosystems is difficult to predict. We demonstrate
a concept to analyse time series for short‐term variability in external forcing that can identify …

Waves are fundamentally important to the physical and biological functioning of estuaries.
Understanding and predicting contaminant transport, development of sedimentary …

While many studies focus on the persistence of coastal wetlands under climate change,
similar predictions are lacking for new wetland establishment, despite being critical to …

Our study aims to enhance process understanding of the long‐term (decadal and longer)
cyclic marsh dynamics by identifying the mechanisms that translate large‐scale physical …

Fresh water—the bloodstream of the biosphere—is at the center of the planetary drama of
the Anthropocene. Water fluxes and stores regulate the Earth's climate and are essential for …

Understanding the mechanisms limiting and facilitating salt marsh vegetation initial
establishment is of widespread importance due to the many valuable services salt marsh …

Spartina species of the mid-low intertidal areas are powerful ecological engineers that are
highly valued where they are native. Elsewhere, they overgrow native salt marsh and open …
