Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological
services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as …

Coastal marshes are considered to be among the most valuable and vulnerable ecosystems
on Earth, where the imminent loss of ecosystem services is a feared consequence of sea …

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 …

Responses of terrestrial ecosystems to climate change have been explored in many regions
worldwide. While continued drying and warming may alter process rates and deteriorate the …

This manuscript reviews the progresses made in the understanding of the dynamic
interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes, including the dissipation of extreme …

For more than a century, coastal wetlands have been recognized for their ability to stabilize
shorelines and protect coastal communities. However, this paradigm has recently been …

Traditionally, protection of the coastal area from flooding is approached from an engineering
perspective. This approach has often resulted in negative or unforeseen impacts on local …

In the effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to food, health,
water, and climate, an increase in pressure on land is highly likely. To avoid further land …

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 …

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 …
