Mapping Lower Saxony’s salt marshes using temporal metrics of multi-sensor satellite data
Salt marshes act as an important natural buffer in terms of coastal protection in the light of the rising sea level. Due to weather events like extreme storms the extent of salt marshes changes. Hence, it is of great importance to regularly monitor these

Interactions among salt marsh plants vary geographically but not latitudinally along the California coast. [PDF]
The strength of species interactions often varies geographically and locally with environmental conditions. Competitive interactions are predicted to be stronger in benign environments while facilitation is expected to be stronger in harsh ones.

Importance of quantifying the full-depth carbon reservoir of Jamaica Bay salt Marshes, New York
Constraining uncertainty in the global carbon cycle requires valid assessment of both surface and stored carbon in marine and coastal ecosystems (Blue Carbon) as well as terrestrial carbon (forests, peatlands, and soils) [Pendleton et al., 2012 ...
