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 …

Climate change is transforming ecosystems and affecting ecosystem goods and services.
Along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts of the southeastern United States, the frequency …

Salt marshes provide a variety of ecosystem services, including habitat provision, pollutant
storage and attenuation of waves and currents. However, marsh edge, surface and interior …

The analysis of soil-vegetation interactions in erosion processes along coastlines requires
accurate information about various factors influencing the upper soil layer. Yet, some of …

Salt marshes are threatened by rising sea levels and human activities, and a major
mechanism of marsh loss is edge retreat or erosion. To understand and predict loss in these …

Salt marshes provide diverse ecosystem services including coastal protection, habitat
provision and carbon sequestration. The loss of salt marshes is a global scale phenomenon …

The development and expansion of ponds within otherwise vegetated coastal marshes is a
primary driver of marsh loss throughout the world. Previous studies propose that large ponds …

The survival of salt marshes depends on their ability to maintain vertical elevation and areal
extent. In the lateral direction, marsh edges can expand laterally or undergo edge erosion …

Coastal wetlands provide numerous ecosystem services; yet these ecosystems are
increasingly vulnerable to climate change stressors, especially excessive flooding from sea …

Nature-based strategies, such as wave attenuation by tidal marshes, are increasingly
proposed as a complement to mitigate the risks of failure of engineered flood defense …
