Vegetation reconfigures barrier coasts and affects tidal basin infilling under sea level rise

M Boechat Albernaz, MZM Brückner… - Journal of …, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Worldwide, many tidal basins associated with barrier coasts have infilled over the past
millennia due to the combination of sediment supply, wave‐tidal sediment transport, and eco …

What controls marsh edge erosion?

LJH Bloemendaal, DM FitzGerald, ZJ Hughes… - Geomorphology, 2021 - Elsevier
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Vertical accretion trends project doughnut-like fragmentation of saltmarshes

CJ Hein, JE Connell, DM FitzGerald… - … Earth & Environment, 2024 - nature.com
Coastal saltmarshes keep pace with sea-level rise through in-situ production of organic
material and incorporation of allochthonous inorganic sediment. Here we report rates of …

Tidal change in response to the relative sea level rise and marsh accretion in a tidally choked estuary

AR Payandeh, D Justic, H Huang, G Mariotti… - Continental Shelf …, 2022 - Elsevier
Tidal range is a key factor for flooding, mixing, and transport in estuaries. Sea level rise is
expected to change tidal range in the future. This change is complex, and has been showed …

Sexual reproduction is light‐limited as marsh grasses colonize maritime forest

EJ Kottler, KB Gedan - American Journal of Botany, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Climate change is driving abiotic shifts that can threaten the conservation of foundation
species and the habitats they support. Directional range shifting is one mechanism of …

Past and future marsh adaptation: Lessons learned from the Ria Formosa lagoon

AR Carrasco, K Kombiadou, M Amado… - Science of the Total …, 2021 - Elsevier
It is rational to assume that salt marshes in regions where sediment loads are high should
remain stable or prograde when facing a range of sea-level scenarios, whereas those in …

Hindcasting and forecasting marsh ecomorphodynamics by integration of model with stratigraphic record

G Mariotti - Geomorphology, 2024 - Elsevier
Marsh morphodynamics models are usually calibrated using sparse short-term
measurements. Hence, their ability to predict long-term trajectories (centuries to millennia) is …
