Coastal populations and wetlands have been intertwined for centuries, whereby humans
both influence and depend on the extensive ecosystem services that wetlands provide …

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 …

Salt marshes are important coastal habitats and provide ecosystem services to surrounding
communities. They are, however, threatened by accelerating sea-level rise and sediment …

Shorelines and their ecosystems are endangered by sea-level rise. Nature-based coastal
protection is becoming a global strategy to enhance coastal resilience through the cost …

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 …

Coastal marshes accrete vertically in response to sea-level rise and subsidence. Inadequate
accretion and subsequent conversion of coastal marshes to open water generally is …

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 …

A three‐dimensional hydrodynamic and sediment transport model was used to study the
relative impact of (1) vegetation,(2) micro‐topography, and (3) water level fluctuations on the …

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 …

Toxicity with heavy metals has proven to be a significant hazard with several health
problems linked to it. Heavy metals bioaccumulate in living organisms, pollute the food …
