How plants influence resilience of salt marsh and mangrove wetlands to sea-level rise
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 …

Geomorphic and ecological constraints on the coastal carbon sink
Climate change is driving a fundamental reorganization of the coastal zone, in which carbon-
rich ecosystems are simultaneously migrating, accreting and submerging. In this Review, we …

Marsh resilience to sea-level rise reduced by storm-surge barriers in the Venice Lagoon
Salt marshes are important coastal habitats and provide ecosystem services to surrounding
communities. They are, however, threatened by accelerating sea-level rise and sediment …

[HTML][HTML] Global-change effects on early-stage decomposition processes in tidal wetlands–implications from a global survey using standardized litter
Tidal wetlands, such as tidal marshes and mangroves, are hotspots for carbon
sequestration. The preservation of organic matter (OM) is a critical process by which tidal …

Remotely-sensed planform morphologies reveal fluvial and tidal nature of meandering channels
Meandering channels extensively dissect fluvial and tidal landscapes, critically controlling
their morphodynamic evolution and sedimentary architecture. In spite of an apparently …
