The tides they are a‐Changin': A comprehensive review of past and future nonastronomical changes in tides, their driving mechanisms, and future implications
Scientists and engineers have observed for some time that tidal amplitudes at many
locations are shifting considerably due to nonastronomical factors. Here we review …

Identifying knowledge gaps hampering application of intertidal habitats in coastal protection: Opportunities & steps to take
Over the last decades, population densities in coastal areas have strongly increased. At the
same time, many intertidal coastal ecosystems that provide valuable services in terms of …

Critical transitions in disturbance‐driven ecosystems: identifying W indows of O pportunity for recovery
Vegetation recovery in disturbance‐driven ecosystems is difficult to predict. We demonstrate
a concept to analyse time series for short‐term variability in external forcing that can identify …
