Tidal network morphodynamics is an active field of research and advances achieved over
the last decade, particularly with respect to laboratory experiments and numerical modelling …

Intertidal microbial communities occur as biofilms or microphytobenthos (MPB) which are
sediment-attached assemblages of bacteria, protozoa, fungi, algae, diatoms embedded in …

Most information on seagrass carbon burial derives from point measurements, which are
sometimes scaled by meadow area to estimate carbon stocks; however, sediment organic …

Two major causes of salt marsh loss are vertical drowning, when sediment accumulation on
the platform cannot keep vertical pace with sea level rise, and horizontal retreat, associated …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are ubiquitous on tidal flats but their impact on
sediment erosion has not been fully understood. Laboratory‐controlled sediment beds were …

Periphyton and phytoplankton contribute to the base of lake food webs, and both groups of
microalgae are influenced by resources and physical forcing. Spatial variation in light …

Biofilms, consisting of microorganisms and their secreted extracellular polymeric substances
(EPSs), serve as “ecosystem engineers” stabilizing sedimentary environments. Natural …

The dynamics of shallow-water coastal environments are controlled by external drivers—sea
level rise, storms, and sediment and nutrient supplies—and by internal feedbacks …

Microphytobenthos (MPB) from intertidal mudflats are key primary producers at the land–
ocean interface. MPB can be more productive than phytoplankton and sustain both benthic …

Under the effect of global climate change, the enhanced wave condition leads to lateral
erosion at the mangrove vegetation edge, threatening the survival of mangrove habitat and …
