Flow Directions and Ages of Subsurface Water in a Salt Marsh System Constrained by Isotope Tracing
Salt marshes are dynamic hydrologic systems where terrestrial groundwater, terrestrial surface water, and seawater mix due to bi-directional flows...
-
Salt Marsh Morphological Evolution Under Plant Species Invasion
Species invasion in salt marsh wetlands is known to disturb the balance of biotic and abiotic ecosystems (e.g., changing material exchange cycles and...

Understanding Marsh Elevation and Accretion Processes and Vulnerability to Rising Sea Levels Across Climatic and Geomorphic Gradients in California, USA
Tidal marshes build elevations by below- and aboveground organic and mineral soil processes. Marsh elevation and accretion data can be used to...
-
Carbon accumulation rates are highest at young and expanding salt marsh edges
An objective of salt marsh conservation, restoration, and creation is to reduce global carbon dioxide levels and offset emissions. This strategy...

Utilizing Repeat UAV Imagery to Evaluate the Spatiotemporal Patterns and Environmental Drivers of Wrack in a Coastal Georgia Salt Marsh
Wrack, comprised of dead marsh grass, occurs naturally in salt marshes. Wrack can reduce biomass in underlying vegetation and affect salt marsh...
-
In-situ loading experiments reveal how the subsurface affects coastal marsh survival
Over the past decades coastal marshes around the world have declined dramatically. Their deterioration is controlled by scarcity of sediments,...
