Identifying Salt Marsh Shorelines from Remotely Sensed Elevation Data and Imagery [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2019 Salt marshes are valuable ecosystems that are vulnerable to lateral erosion, submergence, and internal disintegration due to sea level rise, storms, and sediment deficits.

Loss of 'blue carbon' from coastal salt marshes following habitat disturbance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Increased recognition of the global importance of salt marshes as 'blue carbon' (C) sinks has led to concern that salt marshes could release large amounts of stored C into the atmosphere (as CO2) if they continue undergoing disturbance, thereby ...

Fantastic wetlands and why to monitor them: Demonstrating the social and financial benefit potential of methane abatement through salt marsh restoration. [PDF]
PLOS ClimateSalt marsh restoration has the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions thereby providing an opportunity for blue carbon crediting, but implementation has been limited to date because of insufficient data and validation. In this paper, we demonstrate

Plant genotype determines biomass response to flooding frequency in tidal wetlands [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2021 The persistence of tidal wetland ecosystems like salt marshes is threatened by human interventions and climate change. In particular, the threat of accelerated sea level rise (SLR) has increasingly gained the attention of the scientific community ...

A rapid method to assess salt marsh condition and guide management decisions
Ecological Indicators, 2022 Salt marshes are increasingly vulnerable to degradation and loss from accelerating sea-level rise and other pervasive disturbances, spurring a need for broad, science-based information to guide management. The Salt Marsh Rapid Assessment Method, MarshRAM,

Medium-term observations of salt marsh morphodynamics
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Salt marshes play a key role in attenuating wave energy and promoting sedimentation necessary to potentially adapt to sea level rise. The changes in the soil surface elevation, as a result of spatially and temporally varied sedimentation pattern, affect ...

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.

Salt Marsh Restoration for the Provision of Multiple Ecosystem Services
Diversity, 2021 Restoration of salt marsh is urgent, as these ecosystems provide natural coastal protection from sea-level rise impacts, contribute towards climate change mitigation, and provide multiple ecosystem services including supporting livelihoods.
