Numerical models of salt marsh evolution: Ecological, geomorphic, and climatic factors
Salt marshes are delicate landforms at the boundary between the sea and land. These
ecosystems support a diverse biota that modifies the erosive characteristics of the substrate …

Marsh processes and their response to climate change and sea-level rise
DM FitzGerald, Z Hughes - Annual Review of Earth and …, 2019 - annualreviews.org
In addition to their being vital components of mid-to high-latitude coastal ecosystems, salt
marshes contain 0.1% of global sequestered terrestrial carbon. Their sustainability is now …

The present and future role of coastal wetland vegetation in protecting shorelines: answering recent challenges to the paradigm
For more than a century, coastal wetlands have been recognized for their ability to stabilize
shorelines and protect coastal communities. However, this paradigm has recently been …

Vegetation causes channel erosion in a tidal landscape
Vegetation is traditionally regarded to reduce the erosion of channels in both fluvial and tidal
landscapes. We present a coupled hydrodynamic, morphodynamic, and plant growth model …

How does vegetation affect sedimentation on tidal marshes? Investigating particle capture and hydrodynamic controls on biologically mediated sedimentation
Plants are known to enhance sedimentation on intertidal marshes. It is unclear, however, if
the dominant mechanism of enhanced sedimentation is direct organic sedimentation …

A numerical model for the coupled long‐term evolution of salt marshes and tidal flats
A one‐dimensional numerical model for the coupled long‐term evolution of salt marshes
and tidal flats is presented. The model framework includes tidal currents, wind waves …

Landscape evolution in tidal embayments: Modeling the interplay of erosion, sedimentation, and vegetation dynamics
We propose an ecomorphodynamic model which conceptualizes the chief land‐forming
processes operating on the intertwined, long‐term evolution of marsh platforms and …

Impact of dynamic feedbacks between sedimentation, sea-level rise, and biomass production on near-surface marsh stratigraphy and carbon accumulation
Salt marshes accrete both organic and inorganic sediments. Here we present analytical and
numerical models of salt marsh sedimentation that, in addition to capturing inorganic …

Feedbacks between inundation, root production, and shoot growth in a rapidly submerging brackish marsh
Ecogeomorphic feedbacks between mineral sediment deposition and above‐ground plant
growth are thought to have dominated the evolution of many coastal ecosystems and …
