Assessing the Impacts of Tidal Creeks on the Spatial Patterns of Coastal Salt Marsh Vegetation and Its Aboveground Biomass

Remote Sensing, 2022
The spatial distribution patterns of salt marsh plant communities and their biomass provide useful information for monitoring the stability and productivity of coastal salt marsh ecosystems in space and time.

Impact of Coastal Squeeze Induced by Erosion and Land Reclamation on Salt Marsh Wetlands

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Salt marshes are declining due to the dual pressures of coastal erosion and land reclamation. However, there remains a lack of quantitative analysis regarding this reduction process and its driving mechanisms.

Quantifying Slopes as a Driver of Forest to Marsh Conversion Using Geospatial Techniques: Application to Chesapeake Bay Coastal-Plain, United States

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Coastal salt marshes, which provide valuable ecosystem services such as flood mitigation and carbon sequestration, are threatened by rising sea level. In response, these ecosystems migrate landward, converting available upland into salt marsh.

An integrative salt marsh conceptual framework for global comparisons

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2023
Salt marshes occur globally across climatic and coastal settings, providing key linkages between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, salt marsh science lacks a unifying conceptual framework; consequently, historically well‐studied locations have ...

The role of Phragmites australis in mediating inland salt marsh migration in a Mid-Atlantic estuary. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Many sea level rise adaptation plans emphasize the protection of adjacent uplands to allow for inland salt marsh migration, but little empirical information exists on this process.

Topological and Morphological Controls on Morphodynamics of Salt Marsh Interiors

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Salt marshes are important coastal environments and provide multiple benefits to society. They are considered to be declining in extent globally, including on the UK east coast. The dynamics and characteristics of interior parts of salt marsh systems are

Updated estimates of carbon accumulation rates in coastal marsh sediments [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2014
Studies on carbon stock in salt marsh sediments have increased since the review by Chmura et al. (2003). However, uncertainties exist in estimating global carbon storage in these vulnerable coastal habitats, thus hindering the assessment of their ...

Below the Salt Marsh Surface: Visualization of Plant Roots by Computer-Aided Tomography [PDF]

Oceanography, 2013
As sea level rises, salt marshes become subtidal mudflats unless soil surface accretion occurs at rates fast enough to keep the marsh from being submerged (Brinson et al., 1995).

Inoculating rhizome-propagated Sporobolus pumilus with a native mycorrhizal fungus increases salt marsh plant growth and survival

FACETS, 2021
Salt marshes are ecosystems of significant ecological importance for coastal stability and fundamental roles in marine ecosystems. Salt marshes are declining due to anthropogenic and natural causes including sea level rise.

Effects of ocean acidification and eutrophication on the growth and photosynthetic performances of a green tide alga Ulva prolifera

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
With the impact of fossil fuel burning and industrialization, atmospheric CO2 concentration will reach about 1000 ppmv in 2100, and more and more CO2 will be absorbed by ocean, resulting in ocean acidification.
