Climate change is driving a fundamental reorganization of the coastal zone, in which carbon-
rich ecosystems are simultaneously migrating, accreting and submerging. In this Review, we …

This manuscript reviews the progresses made in the understanding of the dynamic
interactions between coastal storms and salt marshes, including the dissipation of extreme …

Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

Land loss in the Mississippi River Delta is due to the human-altered sediment budget, yet
the relative contributions of building dams, levees and extracting subsurface resources are …

Salt marshes are valued for their ecosystem services, and their vulnerability is typically
assessed through biotic and abiotic measurements at individual points on the landscape …

In addition to their being vital components of mid-to high-latitude coastal ecosystems, salt
marshes contain 0.1% of global sequestered terrestrial carbon. Their sustainability is now …

Ecosystem connectivity tends to increase the resilience and function of ecosystems
responding to stressors. Coastal ecosystems sequester disproportionately large amounts of …

Coastal wetlands are susceptible to loss in both health and extent via stressors associated
with global climate change and anthropogenic disturbance. Peat collapse may represent an …

Climate change is altering naturally fluctuating environmental conditions in coastal and
estuarine ecosystems across the globe. Departures from long-term averages and ranges of …

The morphodynamics of tidal marshes is investigated using a novel model
(MarshMorpho2D) that couples 2D tidal dynamics, wave dynamics, mass-conserving …
