Impact of cutting and sheep grazing on ground-active spiders and carabids in intertidal salt marshes (Western France) [PDF]

Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 2007
The aims of this study were to characterize spider (Araneae) and ground beetle (Coleoptera Carabidae) communities in managed (cutting and sheep grazing) and non-managed salt marshes and to assess the efficiency of management regimes in these particular ...

Lateral Marsh Edge Erosion as a Source of Sediments for Vertical Marsh Accretion [PDF]

, 2018
With sea level rise accelerating and sediment inputs to the coast declining worldwide, there is concern that tidal wetlands will drown. To better understand this concern, sources of sediment contributing to marsh elevation gain were computed for Plum ...

Contrasted habitat selection among Eurasian curlew populations according to landscape heterogeneity and breeding stage

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
This study aimed to quantify the spatio‐temporal use of breeding environments by the Eurasian curlew in 5 contrasting agricultural landscapes. To this end, 64 individuals were tagged with GPS devices to assess their space use according to their breeding stages and define their foraging habitat selection.

Biodiversiteit op de Scheldeschorren [PDF]

, 2001
The tidal marshes along the Scheldt estuary are rather unique in Europe, because they still exist along the complete salinity gradient. Key ecological factors for the vegetation are salinity, tidal regime and current and historical management.

Extraction of tidal channel networks from airborne scanning laser altimetry and aerial photography [PDF]

, 2003
The study of the morphodynamics of tidal channel networks is important because of their role in tidal propagation and the evolution of salt-marshes and tidal flats. Channel dimensions range from tens of metres wide and metres deep near the low water mark

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Carbon accumulation rates are highest at young and expanding salt marsh edges

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Colonization by vegetation governs variability in carbon accumulation rates in salt marshes, suggesting that accelerating sea level rise will enhance their carbon sequestration through landward expansion, according to carbon analysis and dating of cores ...

Wave attenuation at a salt marsh margin: A case study of an exposed coast on the Yangtze estuary [PDF]

, 2011
To quantify wave attenuation by (introduced) Spartina alterniflora vegetation at an exposed macrotidal coast in the Yangtze Estuary, China, wave parameters and water depth were measured during 13 consecutive tides at nine locations ranging from 10 m ...

Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Rethink Connecticut’s Tidal Salt Marsh Restoration Efforts [PDF]

, 2017
Due to man-made and natural events over recent years, the salt marshes that protect Connecticut’s coastline have been severely damaged. Salt marshes protect Connecticut’s shoreline from storms and provide an irreplaceable ecosystem for the state’s entire
