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

Salt marsh evolution is strongly affected by tidal processes and ecology, which regulate sediment accretion and erosional rates. A balance between marsh erosion and deposition in a restored tidal wetland is crucial for analyzing restoration strategies to

European salt marshes diversity and functioning: the case study of the Mont Saint-Michel bay, France [PDF]
The macrotidal Mont Saint-Michel bay has been studied intensively since 1990. The objectives of this study, supported by the European Union, was to understand various processes underlying the functioning of this hydrosystem with a special focus on ...

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 ...

Modelling nitrogen fluxes during tidal cycles in a salt marsh in the northern Venice Lagoon [PDF]
openThe Venice Lagoon is a biodiverse, valuable and delicate environment which is currently threatened by several factors, including progressive erosion, eustatism and other anthropogenic pressures, for example pollution and eutrophication.

Topological and Morphological Controls on Morphodynamics of Salt Marsh Interiors
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

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

Exploring the Impacts of Seagrass on Coupled Marsh-Tidal Flat Morphodynamics
Intertidal coastal environments are prone to changes induced by sea level rise, increases in storminess, temperature, and anthropogenic disturbances. It is unclear how changes in external drivers may affect the dynamics of low energy coastal environments
