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 ...

Movement of Microphytobenthos and Sediment Between Mudflats and Salt Marsh During Spring Tides
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The movement of sediment and associated microphytobenthos (MPB) between the upper mudflat and salt marsh in a macrotidal estuary was investigated by comparing the variability of benthic chlorophyll a (Chl. a) and suspended Chl.

Population growth of microcrustaceans in water from habitats with differing salinities [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Inland salt marshes are a rare habitat in North America. Little is known about the invertebrates in these habitats and their ability to cope with the brackish conditions of the marsh.

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 ...

Characterization of hypersaline zones in salt marshes
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 Salt pans are commonly found in coastal marshes and play a vital role in the marsh plant zonation. However, the correlation between these hypersaline zones and the marsh hydrological conditions have barely been characterized.

Nitrous oxide production and isotopomer composition by fungi isolated from salt marsh sediments
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting agent, have been steadily increasing from coastal environments, such as salt marsh sediments, as a result of anthropogenic nutrient loading.

Remote Sensing, 2019 Salt marshes are changing due to natural and anthropogenic stressors such as sea level rise, nutrient enrichment, herbivory, storm surge, and coastal development. This study analyzes salt marsh change at Fire Island National Seashore (FIIS), a nationally

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2014 Carbon cycling by microbes has been recognized as the main mechanism of organic matter decomposition and export in coastal wetlands, yet very little is known about the functional diversity of specific groups of decomposers (e.g., bacteria) in salt marsh ...

Tide and habitat features affect salt marsh songbird nest survival in northeast Florida, USA
Endangered Species Research, 2020 Tidal salt marshes face numerous pressures that threaten their ecological integrity, and many salt marsh vertebrates have exhibited declines concomitant with the degradation of salt marsh habitats.
