Resistance of salt marsh substrates to near‐instantaneous hydrodynamic forcing
Salt marshes deliver vital ecosystem services by providing habitats, storing pollutants and
atmospheric carbon, and reducing flood and erosion risk in the coastal hinterland. Net …

Blue carbon benefits from global saltmarsh restoration
Coastal saltmarshes are found globally, yet are 25%–50% reduced compared with their
historical cover. Restoration is incentivised by the promise that marshes are efficient storers …

Do you want to breach an embankment? Synthesis of the literature and practical considerations for breaching of tidally influenced causeways and dikes
TG Gerwing, MM Davies, J Clements, AM Flores… - Estuarine, Coastal and …, 2020 - Elsevier
Breaching of coastal causeways and dikes (embankments) is a common method used to
restore estuaries and marshes to a more natural state. Here, we reviewed literature …
