Between the land and ocean, diverse coastal ecosystems transform, store, and transport
material. Across these interfaces, the dynamic exchange of energy and matter is driven by …

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5)
states that climate change and ocean acidification are altering the oceans at a rate that is …

Warming temperatures and elevated CO2 are inextricably linked global change
phenomena, but they are rarely manipulated together in field experiments. As a result …

Submerged and emergent wetland plant communities are evaluated for their response to
global climate change (GCC), focusing on seagrasses, submerged freshwater plants, tidal …

Despite the growing interest in ecosystem services provided by intertidal wetlands, we lack
sufficient understanding of the processes that determine the seaward extent of salt marsh …

Management and restoration of coastal wetlands require insight into how inundation,
salinity, and the availability of mineral sediment and nutrients interact to influence ecosystem …

Tidal marshes have a large capacity for producing and storing organic matter, making their
role in the global carbon budget disproportionate to land area. Most of the organic matter …

Salt marshes respond to sea-level rise through a series of complex and dynamic bio-
physical feedbacks. In this study, we found that sea-level rise triggered salt marsh habitat …

Salt marshes sequester carbon at rates more than an order of magnitude greater than their
terrestrial counterparts, hel** to mitigate climate change. As nitrogen loading to coastal …

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 …
