This chapter reviews the interaction of flows with marine vegetation. We discuss the
influence of vegetation on coastal and estuarine hydrodynamics, including both …

The biogeochemistry of tidal freshwater wetlands is unique in the coastal landscape
because of their position at the limit of tidal influence, where processes are influenced by …

The addition of stable isotopes (SI) of 13C and 15N has been used to study several aquatic
processes, thus avoiding environmental disturbance by the observer. This approach …

Tidal freshwater wetlands (TFW) have developed in a gradually yet constantly changing
environment, but current and predicted future rates of environmental change, driven in large …

Dissipation of waves propagating through natural salt marsh vegetation was about half the
dissipation expected for rigid vegetation. This low dissipation was predicted by a theoretical …

Tidal freshwater zones (TFZ) of coastal rivers link terrestrial watersheds to the ocean and are
characterized by large, regularly inundated riparian zones. We investigated the effect of …

Differentiation within Phragmites australis, one of the world's most cosmopolitan and
globally important wild plants, and invasions by individual lineages outside of their native …

Variation in N stable isotope (δ15N) signatures of basal resources can influence
interpretation of trophic relationships in ecosystems, and significant variation in δ15N …

We compared processing and fate of dissolved NO3− in two New England salt marsh
ecosystems, one receiving natural flood tide concentrations of∼ 1–4 μmol NO3−/L and the …

Salt marshes currently play an important role as filters for upslope nitrogen (N) inputs. This
could change in the future with sea level rise, warming and eutrophication, which are …
