Numerical models of salt marsh evolution: Ecological, geomorphic, and climatic factors

S Fagherazzi, ML Kirwan, SM Mudd… - Reviews of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
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

KB Gedan, ML Kirwan, E Wolanski, EB Barbier… - Climatic change, 2011 - Springer
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

S Temmerman, TJ Bouma, J Van de Koppel… - …, 2007 - pubs.geoscienceworld.org
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

SM Mudd, A D'Alpaos, JT Morris - Journal of Geophysical …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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

G Mariotti, S Fagherazzi - Journal of Geophysical Research …, 2010 - Wiley Online Library
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

A D'Alpaos, S Lanzoni, M Marani… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
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

SM Mudd, SM Howell, JT Morris - Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2009 - Elsevier
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

ML Kirwan, GR Guntenspergen - Journal of Ecology, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Ecogeomorphic feedbacks between mineral sediment deposition and above‐ground plant
growth are thought to have dominated the evolution of many coastal ecosystems and …
