Control of wind-wave power on morphological shape of salt marsh margins

Water Science and Engineering, 2020
Salt marshes are among the most common morphological features found in tidal landscapes and provide ecosystem services of primary ecological and economic importance. However, the continued rise in relative sea level and increasing anthropogenic pressures

Wave attenuation at a salt marsh margin: A case study of an exposed coast on the Yangtze estuary [PDF]

, 2011
To quantify wave attenuation by (introduced) Spartina alterniflora vegetation at an exposed macrotidal coast in the Yangtze Estuary, China, wave parameters and water depth were measured during 13 consecutive tides at nine locations ranging from 10 m ...

Changing Sediment Dynamics of a Mature Backbarrier Salt Marsh in Response to Sea-Level Rise and Storm Events

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Our study analyses the long-term development of a tidal backbarrier salt marsh in the northern German Wadden Sea. The focus lies on the development of the high-lying, inner, mature part of the salt marsh, which shows a striking history of changing ...

Topological and Morphological Controls on Morphodynamics of Salt Marsh Interiors

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
Salt marshes are important coastal environments and provide multiple benefits to society. They are considered to be declining in extent globally, including on the UK east coast. The dynamics and characteristics of interior parts of salt marsh systems are

Environmental conditions of a salt-marsh biodiversity experiment on the island of Spiekeroog (Germany) [PDF]

, 2018
Field experiments investigating biodiversity and ecosystem functioning require the observation of abiotic parameters, especially when carried out in the intertidal zone.

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 Monitoring in Jamaica Bay, New York from 2003 to 2013: A Decade of Change from Restoration to Hurricane Sandy

Remote Sensing, 2017
This study used Quickbird-2 and Worldview-2, high resolution satellite imagery, in a multi-temporal salt marsh mapping and change analysis of Jamaica Bay, New York. An object-based image analysis methodology was employed.

Feeding ecology of 0-group sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax in salt marshes of Mont Saint-Michel bay (France) [PDF]

, 2001
0-group sea bass, Dicentrarchus labrax, colonize intertidal marsh creeks of Mont Saint Michel Bay, France, on spring tides (e.g., 43% of the tides) during flood and return to coastal waters during ebb.

Simple assessment of spatio-temporal evolution of salt marshes ecological services [PDF]

, 2019
A number of previous research studies have addressed the enormous role played by biodiversity and ecosystems in human well-being and have placed particular emphasis on the consequences of the reduction or loss of these services. A handful of studies have

Assessing the Impacts of Tidal Creeks on the Spatial Patterns of Coastal Salt Marsh Vegetation and Its Aboveground Biomass

Remote Sensing, 2022
The spatial distribution patterns of salt marsh plant communities and their biomass provide useful information for monitoring the stability and productivity of coastal salt marsh ecosystems in space and time.
