In addition to their being vital components of mid-to high-latitude coastal ecosystems, salt
marshes contain 0.1% of global sequestered terrestrial carbon. Their sustainability is now …

Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

We have developed an analytical model of salt marsh evolution that captures the dynamic
response of marshes to perturbations in suspended sediment concentrations, plant …

We consider the response of marshland to accelerations in the rate of sea-level rise by
utilizing two previously described numerical models of marsh elevation. In a model designed …

Salt marshes often undergo rapid changes in lateral extent, the causes of which lack
common explanation. We combine hydrological, sedimentological, and climatological data …

Salt marshes are important coastal environments that provide key ecological services. As
sea level rise has accelerated globally, concerns about the ability of salt marshes to survive …

Salt marshes are recognized as valuable resources that are threatened by climate change
and human activities. Better management and planning for these ecosystems will depend on …

An accelerating global rate of sea level rise (SLR), coupled with direct human impacts to
coastal watersheds and shorelines, threatens the continued survival of salt marshes. We …

Coastal wetlands are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, where ecosystem
services such as flood protection depend nonlinearly on wetland size and are threatened by …

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 …
