This manuscript reviews the progresses made in the understanding of the dynamic
interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes, including the dissipation of extreme …

Salt marshes, most now embanked, together with genetically related wetlands and high
intertidal flats, make a major environmental contribution to the lowland coasts of Northwest …

Remote sensing is an important tool for map** and monitoring vegetation. Advances in
sensor technology continually improve the information content of imagery for airborne, as …

Coastal wetlands including salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems on
Earth. They are known for improving the quality of coastal water and provisioning coastal …

In order to maintain an elevation in the intertidal zone at which marsh vegetation can
survive, vertical accretion of the marsh surface must take place at a rate at least equal to the …

Internal differences between plant organs are caused by the functional differentiation of
plant tissue, whereas external supply rates of elements constrain nutrient uptake. Previous …

The coast cannot be left to nature to determine its fate. Wealth, property, economic interests,
recreation, tourism and wildlife are all threatened. Coasts are an administrative battle …

It is increasingly recognised that interactions between geomorphological and biotic
processes control the functioning of many ecosystem types as described eg by the …

Disturbance has profound effects on plant community composition. This paper deals with the
influence of grazing on species richness and proportions of life‐history attributes of …

1 A factorial fertilizer experiment was conducted in a 15‐year‐old coastal barrier salt marsh
with a low soil nitrogen content, and in an older 100‐year‐old marsh with a higher nitrogen …
