MODELLING COASTAL WETLAND STABILITY [PDF]

Canadian Water Resources Journal, 1997
The size and number of coastal wetlands in the Great Lakes have been rapidly declining over the past century, but only in the past two decades have people begun to understand the complex environmental and biological benefits of these fresh water marshes.

Opportunities for improving recognition of coastal wetlands in global ecosystem assessment frameworks

Ecological Indicators, 2021
Vegetated coastal wetlands, including seagrass, saltmarsh and mangroves, are threatened globally, yet the need to avert these losses is poorly recognized in international policy, such as in the Convention on Biological Diversity and the United Nations ...

Coastal Wetlands in the Anthropocene

Annual Review Environment and Resources
We review the functioning and sustainability of coastal marshes and mangroves. Urbanized humans have a 7,000-year-old enduring relationship to coastal wetlands. Wetlands include marshes, salt flats, and saline and freshwater forests.

Transcriptome analysis reveals antioxidant defense mechanisms in the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkia after exposure to chromium

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Chromium (Cr) as a chromate anion has a strong redox capacity that seriously threatens the ecological environment and human health. Cr can contaminate water and impart toxicity to aquatic species. Procambarus clarkii is an important food source that once

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion [PDF]

, 2018
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 ...
