Practical guide to measuring wetland carbon pools and fluxes
Wetlands cover a small portion of the world, but have disproportionate influence on global
carbon (C) sequestration, carbon dioxide and methane emissions, and aquatic C fluxes …

Salt marsh ecosystem restructuring enhances elevation resilience and carbon storage during accelerating relative sea-level rise
Salt marshes respond to sea-level rise through a series of complex and dynamic bio-
physical feedbacks. In this study, we found that sea-level rise triggered salt marsh habitat …

Soil carbon consequences of historic hydrologic impairment and recent restoration in coastal wetlands
Coastal wetlands provide key ecosystem services, including substantial long-term storage of
atmospheric CO 2 in soil organic carbon pools. This accumulation of soil organic matter is a …

Onset of runaway fragmentation of salt marshes
Salt marshes are valuable but vulnerable coastal ecosystems that adapt to relative sea level
rise (RSLR) by accumulating organic matter and inorganic sediment. The natural limit of …

Can coastal habitats rise to the challenge? Resilience of estuarine habitats, carbon accumulation, and economic value to sea-level rise in a Puget Sound estuary
Sea-level rise (SLR) and obstructions to sediment delivery pose challenges to the
persistence of estuarine habitats and the ecosystem services they provide. Restoration …

What controls marsh edge erosion?
LJH Bloemendaal, DM FitzGerald, ZJ Hughes… - Geomorphology, 2021 - Elsevier
The survival of salt marshes depends on their ability to maintain vertical elevation and areal
extent. In the lateral direction, marsh edges can expand laterally or undergo edge erosion …

Assessing the response of the Great Marsh to sea-level rise: Migration, submersion or survival
SJ Farron, ZJ Hughes, DM FitzGerald - Marine Geology, 2020 - Elsevier
To survive rising sea level, salt marshes must accrete vertically, migrate laterally, or undergo
a combination of the two. If sufficient sediment is available for marsh accretion, the slope of …
