Mangroves and salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems in the global
coastal ocean. Mangroves store more carbon (739 Mg CORG ha− 1) than salt marshes (334 …

After several decades of intensive research in salt marshes, both community structure and
basic ecological processes are reasonably well understood (44, 50, 78, 88). Further up the …

Root turnover is a critical component of ecosystem nutrient dynamics and carbon
sequestration and is also an important sink for plant primary productivity. We tested global …

A detailed account of the biology and ecology of vascular wetland plants and their
applications in wetland plant science, Wetland Plants: Biology and Ecology presents a …

Coastal Ecosystem Processes, written by the renowned marine scientist Daniel Alongi,
describes how pelagic and benthic food webs, from beaches and tidal flats to the continental …

The seasonal flux of methane to the atmosphere was measured at three salt marsh sites
along a tidal creek. Average soil salinities at the sites ranged from 5 to 17 ppt and fluxes …

The heavily-revised Practical Handbook of Marine Science, Fourth Edition continues its
tradition as a state-of-the-art reference that updates the field of marine science to meet the …

The principle objective of this book is to review the biological characteristics of estuaries.
The volume has been as a text for undergraduates and graduate students as well as …

Carbon (C) standing stocks, C mass balance, and soil C burial in tidal freshwater forested
wetlands (TFFW) and TFFW transitioning to low‐salinity marshes along the upper estuary …

Coastal salt marshes are characterized by fine sediments and halophytic vegetation and are
formed through a combination of physical (ie, sediment deposition/erosion) and biological …
