The Eastern Nebraska Salt Marsh Microbiome Is Well Adapted to an Alkaline and Extreme Saline Environment

Life, 2021
The Eastern Nebraska Salt Marshes contain a unique, alkaline, and saline wetland area that is a remnant of prehistoric oceans that once covered this area.

Analysis of the effects of different restoration approaches on the structure and functioning of salt marshes in the Venice lagoon [PDF]

, 2023
openSalt marshes are coastal ecosystems that provide key services to human population, such as coastal protection and blue carbon sink. Marshes have strongly deteriorated in past decades and, thus, countries worldwide invested in marsh restoration ...

Salt Marshes and Mangroves: Tidal Saline Wetlands Dominated by Vascular Plants

, 2022
Coastal wetlands encompass an ecosystem continuum between subtidal depths (to which light penetrates to support photosynthesis) and the landward edge of sea level influence.

Exploring morphodynamic co-benefits of salt-marsh restoration [PDF]

, 2023
openThe Venice Lagoon possesses one of the planet's most fascinating and distinctive ecosystems, owing to its unique geographical location. Situated in the northern reaches of the Adriatic Sea, this natural lagoon has undergone significant human-induced ...

The protective role of coastal marshes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2011
BackgroundSalt marshes lie between many human communities and the coast and have been presumed to protect these communities from coastal hazards by providing important ecosystem services.

Nitrous oxide emissions could reduce the blue carbon value of marshes on eutrophic estuaries

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
The supply of nitrogen to ecosystems has surpassed the Earth’s Planetary Boundary and its input to the marine environment has caused estuarine waters to become eutrophic.

Loss of 'blue carbon' from coastal salt marshes following habitat disturbance.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Increased recognition of the global importance of salt marshes as 'blue carbon' (C) sinks has led to concern that salt marshes could release large amounts of stored C into the atmosphere (as CO2) if they continue undergoing disturbance, thereby ...

Surface pollen assemblages as indicators of mangrove ecosystem dynamics and anthropogenic disturbances along southeastern China

Ecological Indicators
Modern pollen assemblages from mangrove wetlands provide sensitive ecological indicators for separating climate-driven biogeographic patterns from human disturbance in threatened coastal ecosystems.

Salt marsh monitoring along the mid-Atlantic coast by Google Earth Engine enabled time series.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Salt marshes provide a bulwark against sea-level rise (SLR), an interface between aquatic and terrestrial habitats, important nursery grounds for many species, a buffer against extreme storm impacts, and vast blue carbon repositories.

High nutrient loads amplify carbon cycling across California and New York coastal wetlands but with ambiguous effects on marsh integrity and sustainability

PLoS ONE, 2022
Eutrophic conditions in estuaries are a globally important stressor to coastal ecosystems and have been suggested as a driver of coastal salt marsh loss.
