Sea level rise (SLR) poses a hazard to ecosystems and economies in low-lying coastal and
estuarine areas. To better understand the potential impacts of SLR in estuaries, a …

Abstract Climate change driven Sea Level Rise (SLR) is creating a major global
environmental crisis in coastal ecosystems, however, limited practical solutions are provided …

Loss of coastal wetland habitats has been directly linked to a decline in waterbird
populations including migratory species, leading to calls to reverse this trend in part by …

Studies on distribution of microplastics (MPs) in sediments of tidal flats are relatively scarce
compared to other coastal areas. In this study, spatial and vertical distributions and …

Natural purification of pollutants is highly recognized as regulating ecosystem services;
however, the purification capacity of tidal flats remains largely unknown and/or unquantified …

Plastic pollution poses a serious threat to marine ecosystems; yet quantifying the mass
concentrations of nano-and microplastics (NMPs) in saltmarsh sediments at the ocean-land …

The regulating ecosystem services, such as water purification, that tidal flats provide by
nitrogen (N) burial are being increasingly recognized; yet, quantitative estimates remain …

Saltmarsh, a prominent buffer ecosystem, has been identified as an important sink for
nitrogen (N) pollutants from marine-and land-based anthropogenic activities. However, how …

Tidal flats have important ecological functions and offer great economic value. Using field
sampling, numerical simulation, and high-throughput sequencing, the ecological state of …

The spatial distributions of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in surface sediments are of
great significance in studying the ecological process of nutrient cycling in intertidal flats …
