Human activities accelerated the degradation of saline seepweed red beaches by amplifying top‐down and bottom‐up forces [PDF]
Salt marshes dominated by saline seepweed (Suaeda heteroptera) provide important ecosystem services such as sequestering carbon (blue carbon), maintaining healthy fisheries, and protecting shorelines. These salt marshes also constitute stunning red beach

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion [PDF]
With sea level rise accelerating and sediment inputs to the coast declining worldwide, there is concern that tidal wetlands will drown. To better understand this concern, sources of sediment contributing to marsh elevation gain were computed for Plum ...
