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 …

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 …

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 …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems, including tidal marshes, mangroves and seagrass meadows,
are being increasingly assessed in terms of their potential for carbon dioxide sequestration …

Plants are known to enhance sedimentation on intertidal marshes. It is unclear, however, if
the dominant mechanism of enhanced sedimentation is direct organic sedimentation …

Accelerating sea‐level rise and decreasing riverine sediment supply are widely considered
to lead to global losses of deltaic marshes and their valuable ecosystem services. However …

Rising sea levels threaten the sustainability of coastal wetlands around the globe, thus
understanding how increased inundation alters the elevation change mechanisms in these …

Salt marshes are ubiquitous features of the tidal landscape governed by mutual feedbacks
among processes of physical and biological nature. Improving our understanding of these …

We have developed an analytical model of salt marsh evolution that captures the dynamic
response of marshes to perturbations in suspended sediment concentrations, plant …

The extreme decline in fluvial sediment discharge and rapid increase in sea level have
increased salt marsh vulnerability in some of the world's mega-delta. However, limited …
