Methods to estimate marine functional connectivity: A primer

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
Abstract Organism movement is a key process in the transfer of individuals, genes, functional traits, matter, and energy among habitat patches, at sea and across the land–sea interface. The resulting fluxes, collectively termed marine functional connectivity (MFC), underpin planetary health and an array of ecosystem services.

Creek‐imposed gradients reshape plant allometric traits and sediment retention in a salt marsh

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Tidal creeks impose strong hydrological and geomorphic gradients that shape plant traits and sediment dynamics in salt marshes. However, how creek‐imposed gradients reorganize plant allometric strategies and how these trait shifts regulate sediment retention remain poorly quantified.

Intertidal wetland geomorphology influences main channel hydrodynamics in a mature barrier estuary

open access: yes, 2022
Previous research utilising water level observations and hypsometric data has suggested that intertidal areas exert some control on main channel flow dynamics in estuaries, lagoons and tidal creeks. This has been demonstrated in more detail for saltmarsh

Low sediment retention efficiency limits delta formation in tectonically confined high‐energy coastal systems

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conceptual framework showing how tectonic confinement, steep monsoon‐driven river dynamics, high‐energy coastal processes and offshore sediment dispersal together limit sediment retention at the Narmada–Tapi river mouths, suppressing sustained subaerial delta formation despite high sediment supply. Abstract Although deltaic growth is commonly linked to

Rhythmites preservation in macrotidal estuarine environments : from upstream to downstream estuary

open access: yes, 2012
Estuaries are interface environments between continental and marine domains. The estuarine system classifications allow estuarine zonation based on the longitudinal distribution of hydrodynamic forcing relative energies (flow, tide and swell) which ...

Whale foraging seascapes: Advective prey aggregation mechanisms predict North Atlantic right whale foraging grounds

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract During foraging activity, baleen whales are generally dependent on the occurrence of dense prey patches. These are largely influenced by the interaction between ocean currents and the vertical distribution of individual prey. Identifying the spatio‐temporal dynamics of the areas where prey form dense aggregations, at submeso scale (~ 10 km ...

Hydrological seasonality shapes microbial biomass and diversity in an equatorial estuarine mangrove

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Mangroves are pantropical marine forests rooted in soft sediments and subject to pronounced seasonal variability. However, the effects of these hydrological fluctuations on root‐associated prokaryotic communities remain poorly understood, particularly in underexplored regions like the Guianas.

The contrasting effects of vegetation height and density on flow and turbulence in a patch of vegetation

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Coastal vegetation often grows in spatially distributed patches. However, the influence of individual vegetation patches on small‐scale hydrodynamics has not been well characterized under natural conditions with tidally varying water depths.

The impact of mobile disarticulated shells of Cerastoderma edulis on the abrasion of a cohesive substrate

open access: yes, 2002
An annular laboratory flume was used to investigate the effect of mobile cockle shells on the erosion of a cohesive sediment bed. A standard clay bed was created and shells of differing sizes placed upon it.

A hydroinformatic tool for estuarine water quality management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
CD-ROMNutrient enrichment is a key factor for habitat degradation due to strong stimulation of opportunistic macroalgae growth, with the consequent occurrence of algal blooms.
