Tidal marshes and mangroves are increasingly valued for nature-based mitigation of coastal
storm impacts, such as flooding and shoreline erosion hazards, which are growing due to …

Urbanization and human-led development have increased more rapidly along shorelines
and in coastal watersheds than inland regions over the past century. The result of major land …

Our study aims to enhance process understanding of the long‐term (decadal and longer)
cyclic marsh dynamics by identifying the mechanisms that translate large‐scale physical …

Coastal wetlands such as salt marshes and mangroves provide valuable ecosystem
services including coastal protection. Many studies have assessed the influence of plant …

Despite the rapid construction of offshore wind farms, the available information regarding the
risks of this type of development in terms of emerging pollutants, particularly microplastics, is …

Intertidal ecosystems are threatened by sea level rise and anthropogenic pressures.
Understanding the processes controlling the morphodynamic developments of tidal flats is …

Previous predictions on the ability of coastal salt marshes to adapt to future sea level rise
(SLR) neglect the influence of changing storm activity that is expected in many regions of the …

Chongming Dongtan, located in the center of the Yangtze estuary, is a Ramsar Wetland of
International Importance and National Nature Reserve. The dramatic decrease in river …

Sea-level rise (SLR) caused by global climate change will have significant impacts on the
low-lying coastal zone. The coastal wetlands in the Yangtze Estuary, with their low elevation …

Accretion rates of estuarine tidal flats have strongly decreased globally due to the combined
impacts of sea-level rise, reduction in sediment supply, and human interventions. Storms …
