Global blue carbon losses from salt marshes exceed restoration gains [PDF]

Nature Communications
Salt marsh soil organic carbon (SOC) is a key blue carbon pool affected by both disturbance and restoration; yet its long-term global dynamics remains poorly understood.

Runnels mitigate marsh drowning in microtidal salt marshes. [PDF]

Front Environ Sci, 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.

Functional structure of plant communities along salinity gradients in Iranian salt marshes [PDF]

Plant-Environment Interactions, 2022
Salt marshes are unique habitats between sea or saline lakes and land that need to be conserved from the effects of global change. Understanding the variation in functional structure of plant community along environmental gradients is critical to predict

Leaf-Root Trait Coordination Among Dominant Herbaceous Species Across Three Marsh Habitats in Northeast China [PDF]

Plants
Plant functional traits are key indicators of plant responses to environmental conditions and resource-allocation trade-offs, thereby providing insights into adaptive mechanisms across habitats. Wetlands are one of the major habitats worldwide, yet organ-

A phenology-based vegetation index classification (PVC) algorithm for coastal salt marshes using Landsat 8 images

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022
Coastal salt marshes, as a globally significant intertidal ecosystem, are highly productive but extremely fragile and unstable. Mapping coastal salt marshes accurately is the basis of assessing global climate change, biological invasion, and coastal ...

Salt Marshes as Groundwater Buffers for Development: A Survey of South Carolina Salt Marsh Basins

Frontiers in Water, 2021
Salt marshes serve as zones of intense groundwater mixing and reaction between freshwater uplands and estuaries. This raises the question of whether the impacts of upland development on nutrient and carbon species can be transmitted through salt marshes ...

Assessing Shoreline Changes in Fringing Salt Marshes from Satellite Remote Sensing Data

Remote Sensing, 2023
Salt marshes are highly important wetlands; however, external pressures are causing their widespread deterioration and loss. Continuous monitoring of their extent is paramount for the preservation and recovery of deteriorated and threatened salt marshes.

Facilitating Salt Marsh Restoration: The Importance of Event-Based Bed Level Dynamics and Seasonal Trends in Bed Level Change

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Intertidal salt marshes provide a range of valuable ecosystem services which typically increase with marsh width. Understanding the drivers for salt marsh expansion versus retreat is thus key to managers.

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 ...
