How plants influence resilience of salt marsh and mangrove wetlands to sea-level rise
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 …

Geomorphic and ecological constraints on the coastal carbon sink
Climate change is driving a fundamental reorganization of the coastal zone, in which carbon-
rich ecosystems are simultaneously migrating, accreting and submerging. In this Review, we …

Migration and transformation of coastal wetlands in response to rising seas
Coastal wetlands are not only among the world's most valued ecosystems but also among
the most threatened by high greenhouse gas emissions that lead to accelerated sea level …

Warming reshaped the microbial hierarchical interactions
Global warming may alter microbially mediated ecosystem functions through reshaping of
microbial diversity and modified microbial interactions. Here, we examined the effects of 5 …

Salinity controls soil microbial community structure and function in coastal estuarine wetlands
Soil salinity acts as a critical environmental filter on microbial communities, but the
consequences for microbial diversity and biogeochemical processes are poorly understood …

Large-scale dieback of mangroves in Australia's Gulf of Carpentaria: a severe ecosystem response, coincidental with an unusually extreme weather event
This study records and documents the most severe and notable instance ever reported of
sudden and widespread dieback of mangrove vegetation. Between late 2015 and early …

Sub-continental-scale mapping of tidal wetland composition for East Asia: A novel algorithm integrating satellite tide-level and phenological features
Tidal wetlands, the global hotspots of biodiversity and carbon stocks, are currently
experiencing widespread modifications in their composition due to human disturbances and …

Climatic controls on the global distribution, abundance, and species richness of mangrove forests
Mangrove forests are highly productive tidal saline wetland ecosystems found along
sheltered tropical and subtropical coasts. Ecologists have long assumed that climatic drivers …
