A new perspective on the impacts of Spartina alterniflora invasion on Chinese wetlands in the context of climate change: A case study of the Jiuduansha Shoals …
Spartina alterniflora, an invasive plant, was introduced to the Chinese coastal zone in the
early 90s. As an eco-engineering species, S. alterniflora not only alters saltmarsh species …

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 …

Subsidence reveals potential impacts of future sea level rise on inhabited mangrove coasts
CEJ van Bijsterveldt, PMJ Herman… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Human-induced land subsidence causes many coastal areas to sink centimetres per year,
exacerbating relative sea level rise (RSLR). While cities combat this problem through …
