The protective role of coastal marshes: a systematic review and meta-analysis

CC Shepard, CM Crain, MW Beck - PloS one, 2011 - journals.plos.org

been presumed to protect these communities from coastal hazards by providing important …

Numerical models of salt marsh evolution: Ecological, geomorphic, and climatic factors

S Fagherazzi, ML Kirwan, SM Mudd… - Reviews of …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Mass tree mortality leads to mangrove peat collapse at Bay Islands, Honduras after Hurricane Mitch

DR Cahoon, P Hensel, J Rybczyk, KL McKee… - Journal of …, 2003 - Wiley Online Library

Marsh vertical accretion via vegetative growth

JA Nyman, RJ Walters, RD Delaune… - Estuarine, Coastal and …, 2006 - Elsevier
Coastal marshes accrete vertically in response to sea-level rise and subsidence. Inadequate
accretion and subsequent conversion of coastal marshes to open water generally is …

Impact of dynamic feedbacks between sedimentation, sea-level rise, and biomass production on near-surface marsh stratigraphy and carbon accumulation

SM Mudd, SM Howell, JT Morris - Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2009 - Elsevier
Salt marshes accrete both organic and inorganic sediments. Here we present analytical and
numerical models of salt marsh sedimentation that, in addition to capturing inorganic …

Modeling tidal marsh distribution with sea-level rise: evaluating the role of vegetation, sediment, and upland habitat in marsh resiliency

LM Schile, JC Callaway, JT Morris, D Stralberg… - PloS one, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Tidal marshes maintain elevation relative to sea level through accumulation of mineral and
organic matter, yet this dynamic accumulation feedback mechanism has not been modeled …

Modelling estuarine variations in tidal marsh sedimentation: response to changing sea level and suspended sediment concentrations

S Temmerman, G Govers, S Wartel, P Meire - Marine Geology, 2004 - Elsevier
This study presents the validation of a zero-dimensional time-stepping physically based

Coastal marsh response to historical and future sea-level acceleration

M Kirwan, S Temmerman - Quaternary Science Reviews, 2009 - Elsevier
We consider the response of marshland to accelerations in the rate of sea-level rise by
utilizing two previously described numerical models of marsh elevation. In a model designed …
