In this chapter, we present an overview of the processing and cycling of the major
biologically relevant elements (C, N, P, S, and Fe) in salt marshes. In keeping with the …

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 …

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 …

The anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM) is an important methane sink in marine
ecosystems mediated by still uncultured Archaea. We established an experimental system to …

Tidal flats like the Wadden Sea are areas of high primary production and organic matter
remineralization rates. This paper provides an overview of benthic remineralization …

In coastal rivers, tides facilitate surface water‐groundwater exchange and strongly coupled
nitrification‐denitrification near the fluctuating water table. We used numerical fluid flow and …

We investigated whether marsh surface elevation, plant community composition (annuals vs.
perennials), and organic matter quantity/quality were associated with differences in …

The stoichiometry of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) and nutrients during biological uptake
is widely assumed to follow the Redfield ratios (especially the C/N ratio) in large river plume …
