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 …

Wetland carbon storage controlled by millennial-scale variation in relative sea-level rise
Coastal wetlands (mangrove, tidal marsh and seagrass) sustain the highest rates of carbon
sequestration per unit area of all natural systems,, primarily because of their comparatively …

Salt marsh persistence is threatened by predicted sea-level rise
Salt marshes buffer coastlines and provide critical ecosystem services from storm protection
to food provision. Worldwide, these ecosystems are in danger of disappearing if they cannot …

Seagrass restoration enhances “blue carbon” sequestration in coastal waters
Seagrass meadows are highly productive habitats that provide important ecosystem
services in the coastal zone, including carbon and nutrient sequestration. Organic carbon in …

An evaluation of subsidence rates and sea‐level variability in the northern Gulf of Mexico
While subsidence is widely recognized as a driver of geomorphic change in the northern
Gulf of Mexico (GOM), there is considerable disagreement over the rates of subsidence and …

[HTML][HTML] Land loss in the Mississippi River Delta: Role of subsidence, global sea-level rise, and coupled atmospheric and oceanographic processes
Abstract The Mississippi River Delta in coastal Louisiana has suffered large-scale land loss
during the historic period and is representative of a global phenomenon where low …

Modeling decadal salt marsh development: variability of the salt marsh edge under influence of waves and sediment availability
Salt marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the protection
depends on the width of the marsh. The cross‐shore width of the marsh is to a large extent …

Salt marshes respond to sea-level rise through a series of complex and dynamic bio-
physical feedbacks. In this study, we found that sea-level rise triggered salt marsh habitat …
