Salt marsh dynamics in a period of accelerated sea level rise
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 …

Identifying knowledge gaps hampering application of intertidal habitats in coastal protection: Opportunities & steps to take
Over the last decades, population densities in coastal areas have strongly increased. At the
same time, many intertidal coastal ecosystems that provide valuable services in terms of …

Numerical models of salt marsh evolution: Ecological, geomorphic, and climatic factors
Salt marshes are delicate landforms at the boundary between the sea and land. These
ecosystems support a diverse biota that modifies the erosive characteristics of the substrate …

Feedbacks between geomorphology and biota controlling Earth surface processes and landforms: a review of foundation concepts and current understandings
This review article presents recent advances in the field of biogeomorphology related to the
reciprocal coupling between Earth surface processes and landforms, and ecological and …

Are all intertidal wetlands naturally created equal? Bottlenecks, thresholds and knowledge gaps to mangrove and saltmarsh ecosystems
Intertidal wetlands such as saltmarshes and mangroves provide numerous important
ecological functions, though they are in rapid and global decline. To better conserve and …

A review on bank retreat: Mechanisms, observations, and modeling
Bank retreat plays a fundamental role in fluvial and estuarine dynamics. It affects the cross‐
sectional evolution of channels, provides a source of sediment, and modulates the diversity …
