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 …

Intertidal wetlands such as saltmarshes and mangroves provide numerous important
ecological functions, though they are in rapid and global decline. To better conserve and …

Abstract The Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment Wetland Change Model
(DIVA_WCM) comprises a dataset of contemporary global coastal wetland stocks (estimated …

Salt marsh ecosystems are maintained by the dominant macrophytes that regulate the
elevation of their habitat within a narrow portion of the intertidal zone by accumulating …

An assessment is made of contemporary effective sea-level rise (ESLR) for a sample of 40
deltas distributed worldwide. For any delta, ESLR is a net rate, defined by the combination of …

To develop improved estimates of (1) flooding due to storm surges, and (2) wetland losses
due to accelerated sea-level rise, the work of Hoozemans et al.(1993) is extended to a …

Coastal wetlands are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, where ecosystem
services such as flood protection depend nonlinearly on wetland size and are threatened by …

Global climate change is expected to affect temperature and precipitation patterns, oceanic
and atmospheric circulation, rate of rising sea level, and the frequency, intensity, timing, and …

The transport of particulate and dissolved matter on the surface of coastal marshes is
controlled by the hydrodynamic characteristics of over‐marsh flows. High‐frequency (5 Hz) …

During the past century, human modification of environmental systems has greatly
accelerated tidal salt marsh deterioration and shoreline retreat in many coastal regions …
