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 …

Coastal dunes, formed and shaped by aeolian sediment transport, play a crucial role in
ecosystem services and act as natural flood and coastal erosion defenses. This paper …

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 …

Restoration is becoming a vital tool to counteract coastal ecosystem degradation. Modifying
transplant designs of habitat-forming organisms from dispersed to clumped can amplify …

Coastal ecosystems provide important services to human population, such as nurseries for
fish, carbon storage and coastal protection. However, the pressure faced by these systems …

Background and aims Sand dunes reduce the impact of storms on shorelines and human
infrastructure. The ability of these ecosystems to provide sustained coastal protection under …

Coastal wetlands have the capacity to trap and store large amounts of carbon and function
as efficient blue carbon sinks—an essential nature-based approach for climate change …

The analysis of soil-vegetation interactions in erosion processes along coastlines requires
accurate information about various factors influencing the upper soil layer. Yet, some of …

Salt marshes provide diverse ecosystem services including coastal protection, habitat
provision and carbon sequestration. The loss of salt marshes is a global scale phenomenon …

In tidal environments, channel networks act as essential drainage pathways. Although the
complex interactions between environmental factors have been studied extensively, the …
