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 …

Intertidal wetlands such as saltmarshes and mangroves provide numerous important
ecological functions, though they are in rapid and global decline. To better conserve and …

Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

Salt marshes are valued for their ecosystem services, and their vulnerability is typically
assessed through biotic and abiotic measurements at individual points on the landscape …

Plants are known to enhance sedimentation on intertidal marshes. It is unclear, however, if
the dominant mechanism of enhanced sedimentation is direct organic sedimentation …

The study of river‐riparian vegetation interactions is an important and intriguing research
field in geophysics. Vegetation is an active element of the ecological dynamics of a …

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 …

The presence of vegetation modifies flow and sediment transport in alluvial channels and
hence the morphological evolution of river systems. Plants increase the local roughness …

Marsh vegetation, a definitive component of delta ecosystems, has a strong effect on
sediment retention and land-building, controlling both how much sediment can be delivered …

The objectives of the present study were twofold:(1) to identify spatial sedimentation and
erosion patterns develo** within patches of epibenthic structures (ie physical structures …
