Biodiversity in salt marshes: from the patrimonial value to the ecosystem functioning. The case study of the Mont Saint-Michel bay. [PDF]
, 2003 Until 1979, European salt marshes were known only through the inventories of fauna and especially of flora. On such criteria, the salt marshes of the Mont-Saint-Michel bay (France) were regarded as most significant of the French coasts.

Salt Marsh Ecogeomorphic Processes and Dynamics
, 2021 Salt marshes are considered some of the most biologically diverse and ecologically important regions on Earth, containing thousands of species of robust salt-tolerant plants, crabs, fish, mollusks, zooplankton, algae, and bacteria.

Physiology of purple sulfur bacteria forming macroscopic aggregates in Great Sippewissett Salt Marsh, Massachusetts [PDF]
, 1993 Purple bacterial aggregates found in tidal pools of Great Sippewissett Salt Marsh (Falmouth, Cape Cod, MA) were investigated in order to elucidate the ecological significance of cell aggregation. Purple sulfur bacteria were the dominant microorganisms in

Can thin-lipped mullet directly exploit the primary and detritic production of European macrotidal salt marshes? [PDF]
, 2002 Juveniles and adults (>100 mm) of Liza ramada colonize macrotidal salt marsh creeks of Mont Saint-Michel bay (France)between March and November, during spring tide floods (43% of the tides) and return to coastal waters during the ebb.

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 ...

The contribution of mangrove expansion to salt marsh loss on the Texas Gulf Coast. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Landscape-level shifts in plant species distribution and abundance can fundamentally change the ecology of an ecosystem. Such shifts are occurring within mangrove-marsh ecotones, where over the last few decades, relatively mild winters have led to ...

Salt-Marsh Loss in a Barrier-Island System: Parramore and Cedar Islands, VA, from 1957 to 2012 [PDF]
, 2017 This thesis has been embargoed for 1 year and will not be available until July 2016 at the earliest.Salt marshes can accrete and maintain their elevation with rises in sea level up to a certain rate before becoming inundated and converting to open water.

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.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Many salt-marsh systems worldwide are currently threatened by drowning and lateral erosion that are not counteracted by sufficient sediment supply. Here we analyze the response of a salt-marsh system to changes in sediment availability and show that ...
