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

Holocene salt-marsh sedimentary infilling and relative sea-level changes in West Brittany (France) using foraminifera-based transfer functions [PDF]
International audienceIn order to reconstruct the former sea-levels and to better characterize the history of Holocene salt-marsh sedimentary infillings in West Brittany (western France), local foraminifera-based transfer functions were developed using ...

Extensive loss of salt marshes in back‐barrier tidal embayments is ongoing worldwide as a consequence of land‐use changes, wave‐driven lateral marsh erosion, and relative sea‐level rise compounded by mineral sediment starvation.

Coastal salt marshes play a key role in coastal carbon sequestration. Understanding the spatial distribution and annual changes of carbon storage of salt marsh plants at a local scale is helpful for accurate protection and restoration.

Salt marsh harvest mouse abundance and site use in a managed marsh [PDF]
The salt marsh harvest mouse (Reithrodontomys raviventris) is a federal and California listed endangered mammal endemic to the San Francisco Bay. The objectives of this research were to determine habitat use of endangered salt marsh harvest mice in a ...

Long-term fertilization alters the relative importance of nitrate reduction pathways in salt marsh sediments [PDF]
Salt marshes provide numerous valuable ecological services. In particular, nitrogen (N) removal in salt marsh sediments alleviates N loading to the coastal ocean.

Microbial community analysis of a coastal salt marsh affected by the Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Coastal salt marshes are highly sensitive wetland ecosystems that can sustain long-term impacts from anthropogenic events such as oil spills. In this study, we examined the microbial communities of a Gulf of Mexico coastal salt marsh during and after the

Salt marsh construction as a nature-based solution in an estuarine social-ecological system
Constructed salt marshes as a Nature-Based Solution for coastal defense offer additional benefits over conventional engineering, but project realization is often hampered by practical and governmental obstacles. We assessed the execution of a local-scale

Pickering Brook Salt Marsh Restoration - Phase II [PDF]
In the early 1900’s, the majority of coastal salt marshes in New England were ditched as part of an aggressive mosquito control program. In an attempt to eradicate mosquito-breeding habitat, open water areas were drained by a series of ditches excavated ...
