Salt marsh establishment controlled by sediment availability, landscape position, and anthropogenic history

Environmental Research Communications
Anthropogenic actions have directly and indirectly modulated salt marsh extent globally. For example, direct actions such as draining and filling of marshes for agriculture were common before the early 20th century, while development on barrier islands ...

Data presented in the paper 'Effects of sediment disturbance regimes on Spartina seedling establishment: implications for salt marsh creation and restoration'

, 2014
The dataset contains seedling survival, critical erosion depth and morphological traits for Spartina alterniflora and Spartina anglica when been exposed to a set of accretion/erosion regimes in the laboratory.

Ecogeomorphologic Response of a Tidally Restricted Salt Marsh to Tidal Restoration and Sea‐Level Rise

Water Resources Research
Diked marshes with decades of restricted tidal flow exhibit fundamentally altered hydrologic and ecologic dynamics that result in limited vertical accretion, land subsidence, and underdeveloped tidal channels.

Impact of Coastal Squeeze Induced by Erosion and Land Reclamation on Salt Marsh Wetlands

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Salt marshes are declining due to the dual pressures of coastal erosion and land reclamation. However, there remains a lack of quantitative analysis regarding this reduction process and its driving mechanisms.

Classification and Monitoring of Salt Marsh Vegetation in the Yellow River Delta Based on Multi-Source Remote Sensing Data Fusion

Sensors
Salt marsh vegetation in the Yellow River Delta, including Phragmites australis (P. australis), Suaeda salsa (S. salsa), and Tamarix chinensis (T. chinensis), is essential for the stability of wetland ecosystems.

GEOMORPHICALLY-CLASSIFIED SALT MARSH UNITS TO PREDICT MARSH SEDIMENT THICKNESS, NORTHEAST UNITED STATES

In this polygon shapefile, all salt marsh units in the Northeast US (New York to Maine; n = 18,831) are categorized into thin- (median = 1.0 m) vs. thick-layer (median = 2.1 m) geomorphologies, as defined by Reves-Sohn (2026) to predict marsh sediment ...

Propagation Methods for Growing Spartina alterniflora for Salt Marsh Restoration [PDF]

, 2015
Salt marsh ecosystems can be found along the east coast of the United States, but are now disappearing due to human development and sea level rise. Salt marshes provide countless ecosystem services including shoreline protection from storms and flooding,

Mapping and Monitoring Heterogeneous Plant Communities in Restored and Established Salt Marshes Using UAVs and Machine Learning

Remote Sensing
Species composition is an important indicator for the condition, functioning, and ecosystem service provision of salt marshes, making the mapping of species composition valuable for their management.

Tidal Marsh Restoration

, 2014
Many coastal tidal marshes have been significantly degraded by roadways and other projects that restrict tidal flows, limiting their ability to provide vital ecosystem services including support of fish and wildlife populations, flood protection, water ...
