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

A century ago, measuring elevation in tidal wetlands proved difficult, as survey leveling of
soft marsh soils relative to a fixed datum was error prone. For 60 years, vertical accretion …

Riparian vegetation responds to hydrogeomorphic disturbances and environmental
changes and also controls these changes. Here, we propose that the control of sediment …

Coastal wetlands provide important ecological services to the coastal zone, one of which is
sediment retention. In this study we investigated sediment retention across a range of …

Organisms and chemicals preserved in sediment cores from the Chesapeake estuary in mid-
Atlantic USA are consistent with a precolonial landscape covered with a diversity of forests …

In tidal marshes of the northeast US, replacement of native cattail (Typha angustifolia) by the
common reed (Phragmites australis) is widespread, and reed is often the target of removal …

through floodplain landscapes has been disrupted worldwide by dams and water diversions …

Seed banks play a critical role in the maintenance of many wetland plant communities, and
recruitment from the seed bank in response to environmental heterogeneity may influence …

Sediment deposition and accretion rates in a Virginia tidal freshwater marsh were measured
to provide insight to the processes and time scales that are important for maintaining marsh …
