Runnels mitigate marsh drowning in microtidal salt marshes

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2022
As a symptom of accelerated sea level rise and historic impacts to tidal hydrology from agricultural and mosquito control activities, coastal marshes in the Northeastern U.S. are experiencing conversion to open water through edge loss, widening and headward erosion of tidal channels, and the formation and expansion of interior ponds.

Restoring Salt Marsh and Functions to Newly Acquired Shoreline in North Mill Pond, Portsmouth [PDF]

, 2011
A berm of construction debris used to fill salt marsh and steepen the shoreline along North Mill Pond many decades ago was removed in 2010 after the land was deeded to the City.

Influence of agricultural system transition on trace element contamination in salt marsh and seagrass sediments from a coastal Ramsar site

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Vegetated coastal ecosystems have an important role as contaminant filters. Temporal variations in concentrations, enrichment factors (EF), and fluxes of trace elements (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, V, and Zn) were evaluated in 210Pb-dated sediment cores ...

Salt Marsh Values in a Changing World: Examining Sea Level Rise on Tidal Marshes with a Surface Elevation Table [PDF]

, 2014
Rising seas are threatening coastal communities and putting added pressures on the natural environment. Sea level rise rates are increasing on a global scale (from 1.7 to 3.2 mm/yr).

Geographic variation in plant community structure of salt marshes: species, functional and phylogenetic perspectives. [PDF]

, 2015
In general, community similarity is thought to decay with distance; however, this view may be complicated by the relative roles of different ecological processes at different geographical scales, and by the compositional perspective (e.g.

Marsh Collapse Does Not Require Sea Level Rise [PDF]

Oceanography, 2013
Salt marshes are among the most productive ecosystems on Earth, providing nurseries for fish species and shelter and food for endangered birds. Salt marshes also mitigate the impacts of hurricanes and tsunamis, and sequester large volumes of carbon in ...

Environmentally determined spatial patterns of annual plants in early salt-marsh succession versus stochastic distribution in old salt-marsh conditions [PDF]

, 2009
It is generally accepted that in terrestrial ecosystems the occurrence and abundance of plant species in late succession stages can be well predicted from prevailing soil conditions whereas in early succession their presence is much more influenced by ...

The rationale for attempting to define salt marsh mosquito-breeding areas in Galveston County by remote sensing the associated vegetation [PDF]

The rationale for attempting to define salt marsh mosquito breeding areas in Galveston County was discussed, including a botanical survey of the marsh plant communities, their relationship to flooding, and their exposure to salt water.
