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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Seasonal carbon fluxes from vegetation and soil in a Mediterranean non-tidal salt marsh [PDF]

Biogeosciences
Salt marshes are important ecosystems for carbon sequestration. However, while studies of atmospheric carbon exchange fluxes have broadly been performed in tidal salt marshes, they are scarce in non-tidal salt marshes.

Spatiotemporal Mapping of Salt Marshes in the Intertidal Zone of China during 1985–2019

Journal of Remote Sensing, 2022
This study mapped the areal extent, identified the species composition, and analyzed the changes of salt marshes in the intertidal zone of China during the period 1985–2019.

Les marais salants brésiliens entre protection environnementale et pression foncière : un paysage en mutation

Projets de Paysage, 2019
This article reflects on the aspects of salt marsh landscapes threatened by the continued expansion of the real estate sector. In seeking to develop real estate assets some decision makers consider salt marshes as a potential land source for urban ...

Tall salt marshes play a crucial role in the long-term geomorphic evolution of the Jiuduansha wetland, Yangtze estuary, China

Applied Ocean Research
Salt marshes play a pivotal role in shaping coastal wetlands by influencing hydrodynamics and sediment transport, a topic that has garnered increasing attention in recent studies.
