This review evaluates the importance of plants and associated biological processes in
determining the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise. Coastal wetlands occur …

Urban and periurban ocean developments impact 1.5% of the global exclusive economic
zones, and the demand for ocean space and resources is increasing. As we strive for a more …

Ocean and coastal ecosystems support life on Earth and many aspects of human well-being.
Covering two-thirds of the planet, the ocean hosts vast biodiversity and modulates the global …

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 …

Shorelines and their ecosystems are endangered by sea-level rise. Nature-based coastal
protection is becoming a global strategy to enhance coastal resilience through the cost …

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

The morphodynamics of tidal marshes is investigated using a novel model
(MarshMorpho2D) that couples 2D tidal dynamics, wave dynamics, mass-conserving …

In the face of uncertainties around coastal management and climate change, coastal
engineering interventions need to be able to adapt to changing conditions. Nature-based …

Robust assessments of ecosystem stability are critical for informing conservation and
management decisions. Tidal marsh ecosystems provide vital services, yet are globally …

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 …
