Mangroves and saltmarshes are biogeochemical hotspots storing carbon in sediments and
in the ocean following lateral carbon export (outwelling). Coastal seawater pH is modified by …

Much uncertainty exists about the vulnerability of valuable tidal marsh ecosystems to relative
sea level rise. Previous assessments of resilience to sea level rise, to which marshes can …

Coastal wetlands are ecosystems lying between land and ocean and are subject to inputs of
heavy metals (HMs) from terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric sources. Although the study …
