Global hotspots of salt marsh change and carbon emissions
Salt marshes provide ecosystem services such as carbon sequestration, coastal protection,
sea-level-rise (SLR) adaptation and recreation. SLR, storm events, drainage and mangrove …

An integrative salt marsh conceptual framework for global comparisons
Salt marshes occur globally across climatic and coastal settings, providing key linkages
between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, salt marsh science lacks a unifying …

Challenges and opportunities for sustaining coastal wetlands and oyster reefs in the southeastern United States
Formed at the confluence of marine and fresh waters, estuaries experience both the seaside
pressures of rising sea levels and increasing storm severity, and watershed and …

Top-predator recovery abates geomorphic decline of a coastal ecosystem
The recovery of top predators is thought to have cascading effects on vegetated ecosystems
and their geomorphology,, but the evidence for this remains correlational and intensely …

Shorebirds-driven trophic cascade helps restore coastal wetland multifunctionality
Ecosystem restoration has traditionally focused on re-establishing vegetation and other
foundation species at basal trophic levels, with mixed outcomes. Here, we show that …

Coupling breakwalls with oyster restoration structures enhances living shoreline performance along energetic shorelines
Interest and investment in constructing living shorelines rather than harder engineering
structures are on the rise worldwide. However, the performance of these interventions in …

Faunal engineering stimulates landscape-scale accretion in southeastern US salt marshes
The fate of coastal ecosystems depends on their ability to keep pace with sea-level rise—yet
projections of accretion widely ignore effects of engineering fauna. Here, we quantify effects …

[HTML][HTML] A spatiotemporal framework to assess the bio-geomorphic interplay of saltmarsh vegetation and tidal emergence (Western Scheldt estuary)
Sea level changes will significantly drive hydrodynamic, morphological, and ecological
development of estuaries. However, the interplay of geomorphology and vegetation at …

Randomly Distributed Crab Burrows Enhance Groundwater Flow and Salt Transport in Creek‐Marsh Systems
Macropores created by crab burrowing are commonly found in vegetated coastal wetlands.
However, their impact on surface water‐groundwater interactions and salt transport is …
