Effects of Slotted Water Control Structures on Nekton Movement within Salt Marshes [PDF]
, 2015 Water control structures (WCSs) restrict hydrological connectivity in salt marshes and thereby impede nekton movement within the greater habitat mosaic. Transient fishery species, which spawn outside salt marshes and must get past these barriers to reach

Plant Stress-Tolerance Traits Predict Salt Marsh Vegetation Patterning
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 It is increasingly acknowledged that stressors can resonate across the boundaries between ecosystems. Salt marshes, vast areas shaped by ocean-shore interactions, constitute prime examples of ecosystems where multiple stress factors arising from one ...

The Nitrogen Removal Ability of Salt Marsh Improved After Grazing Prohibition
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Grazing prohibition has been used for some conservation purposes in salt marshes. However, the impact of this measure on microbe-mediated key nitrogen removal processes remains poorly understood.

Wetlands and coastal water quality: Should wetland size matter? [PDF]
, 2010 Generally, wetlands are thought to perform water purification functions, removing contaminants as water flows through sediment and vegetation. This paradigm was challenged when Grant et al.

Salt marsh monitoring along the mid-Atlantic coast by Google Earth Engine enabled time series.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Salt marshes provide a bulwark against sea-level rise (SLR), an interface between aquatic and terrestrial habitats, important nursery grounds for many species, a buffer against extreme storm impacts, and vast blue carbon repositories.

Valuing New Hampshire Salt Marshes: An Approach to Measuring Ecosystem Services [PDF]
, 2013 David Burdick presented work a method for estimating the ecosystem services benefits of salt marsh restoration. The approach combines ecological valuation, which uses structural and functional indicators to measure the marshes response to restoration ...

Does the invasive plant Elymus athericus modify fish diet in tidal salt marshes? [PDF]
, 2005 The invasion of Mont-Saint-Michel Bay salt marshes (France) by a grass species (Elymus athericus) has led to important changes in vegetation cover, which is likely to modify the habitat for many invertebrates.
