Salt marshes occur globally across climatic and coastal settings, providing key linkages
between terrestrial and marine ecosystems. However, salt marsh science lacks a unifying …

Coastal vegetated ecosystems are acknowledged for their capacity to sequester organic
carbon (OC), known as blue C. Yet, blue C global accounting is incomplete, with major gaps …

Centuries of coastal development has led to the loss of saltmarsh extent worldwide. As
marshes are shrinking, scientific understanding of marsh expansion and erosion processes …

Saltmarshes are important global carbon (C) sinks, but the considerable uncertainty in the C
budget and the underlying mechanisms limit the estimation of greenhouse gas emissions …

Abstract Aim The smooth cordgrass Spartina alterniflora is an iconic ecological engineer that
has inspired some of the more insightful concepts and perspectives in modern theoretical …

Salt marshes, distributed globally at the land-ocean interface, are a highly productive eco-
system with valuable ecological functions. While salt marshes are affected by various eco …

Burrowing crabs are widely distributed and have large populations in estuarine wetlands.
Crab excavation can have potentially significant bioturbation effects on the vertical structure …

This study reports the soil-plant relationships along the intertidal gradient from unvegetated
mudflats to the ecotone between high marshes and coastal dunes. The main objective was …

Coastal vegetation plays an important role for climate change mitigation. Compared with
terrestrial ecosystems, coastal vegetation shows higher rates of atmospheric CO2 uptake …

The generality of ecological patterns depends inextricably on the scale at which they are
examined. We investigated patterns of crab distribution and the relationship between crabs …
