Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021 Coastal salt marshes, which provide valuable ecosystem services such as flood mitigation and carbon sequestration, are threatened by rising sea level. In response, these ecosystems migrate landward, converting available upland into salt marsh.

Artificial Structures Steer Morphological Development of Salt Marshes: A Model Study
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020 Salt marshes are increasingly recognized as resilient and sustainable supplements to traditional engineering structures for protecting coasts against flooding. Nevertheless, many salt marshes face severe erosion.

Evaluation and Analysis of Remote Sensing-Based Approach for Salt Marsh Monitoring
Remote Sensing, 2023 In the United States (US), salt marshes are especially vulnerable to the effects of projected sea level rise, increased storm frequency, and climatic changes.

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 ...

Experimental salt marsh islands: a model system for novel metacommunity experiments [PDF]
, 2017 Shallow tidal coasts are characterised by shifting tidal flats and emerging or eroding islands above the high tide line. Salt marsh vegetation colonising new habitats distant from existing marshes are an ideal model to investigate metacommunity theory ...

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.
