Species-based Mapping of Carbon Stocks in Salt Marsh: Tianjin Coastal Zone as a Case Study

Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2023
Because of geographical position and high carbon storage potential, coastal salt marshes are recognized as an essential component of blue carbon and play an indispensable role in regulating climate and reaching carbon neutrality targets.

Biodiversity in salt marshes: from the patrimonial value to the ecosystem functioning. The case study of the Mont Saint-Michel bay. [PDF]

, 2003
Until 1979, European salt marshes were known only through the inventories of fauna and especially of flora. On such criteria, the salt marshes of the Mont-Saint-Michel bay (France) were regarded as most significant of the French coasts.

Artificial Structures Steer Morphological Development of Salt Marshes: A Model Study

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Salt marshes are increasingly recognized as resilient and sustainable supplements to traditional engineering structures for protecting coasts against flooding. Nevertheless, many salt marshes face severe erosion.

Site Characteristics More Than Vegetation Type Influence Food Web Structure of Intertidal Salt Marshes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Salt marshes are under increasing anthropogenic pressures that have been reported to affect the diet of fish (e.g., change in prey composition and availability), eventually resulting in alterations in their nursery function.

Shifts in Salt Marsh Vegetation Landcover after Debris Flow Deposition

Remote Sensing, 2022
On 9 January 2018, Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve received a large quantity of sediment following debris flows in Montecito, California. Because disturbances potentially impact the ecosystem services and functions that wetlands provide, an understanding ...

The German Soil Systematics and the Rationale Behind Its Revision

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The German Soil Systematics is a pedogenetic classification based on the morphological expressions of pedogenic processes and has been developed over several stages since 1952. The system has successfully been in use for soil classification and soil survey for almost 70 years.

Composition of fish communities in macrotidal salt marshes of the Mont Saint-Michel bay (France) [PDF]

, 2000
At least 100 fish species are known to be present in the intertidal areas (estuaries, mudflats and salt marshes) of Mont Saint-Michel Bay. These and other comparable shallow marine coastal waters, such as estuaries and lagoons, play a nursery role for ...

Diagnostic species are crucial for the functioning of plant associations in inland salt marshes

Scientific Reports
Salt marsh vegetation is considered unique and valuable and has been legally protected in Europe for years but is still declining. Its protection is related to vegetation syntaxonomical units.
