Representing the function and sensitivity of coastal interfaces in Earth system models
Between the land and ocean, diverse coastal ecosystems transform, store, and transport
material. Across these interfaces, the dynamic exchange of energy and matter is driven by …

How plants influence resilience of salt marsh and mangrove wetlands to sea-level rise
This review evaluates the importance of plants and associated biological processes in
determining the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise. Coastal wetlands occur …

US Pacific coastal wetland resilience and vulnerability to sea-level rise
We used a first-of-its-kind comprehensive scenario approach to evaluate both the vertical
and horizontal response of tidal wetlands to projected changes in the rate of sea-level rise …

Wave attenuation over coastal salt marshes under storm surge conditions
Coastal communities around the world face an increasing risk from flooding as a result of
rising sea level, increasing storminess and land subsidence,. Salt marshes can act as …

Salt marsh dynamics in a period of accelerated sea level rise
Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

Ecosystem services and disservices of mangrove forests and salt marshes
Coastal wetlands such as mangrove forests and saltmarshes provide a range of important
benefits to people, broadly defined as ecosystem services. These include provisioning …

A review on bank retreat: Mechanisms, observations, and modeling
Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross‐
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …

Spatially integrative metrics reveal hidden vulnerability of microtidal salt marshes
Salt marshes are valued for their ecosystem services, and their vulnerability is typically
assessed through biotic and abiotic measurements at individual points on the landscape …

EJ Powell, MC Tyrrell, A Milliken, JM Tirpak… - Journal of coastal …, 2019 - Springer
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 …

Massive upland to wetland conversion compensated for historical marsh loss in Chesapeake Bay, USA
Sea level rise leads to coastal transgression, and the survival of ecosystems depends on
their ability to migrate inland faster than they erode and submerge. We compared marsh …
