Ghost forests created by the submergence of low-lying land are one of the most striking
indicators of climate change along the Atlantic coast of North America. Although dead trees …

Coastal marshes are considered to be among the most valuable and vulnerable ecosystems
on Earth, where the imminent loss of ecosystem services is a feared consequence of sea …

Salt marshes buffer coastlines and provide critical ecosystem services from storm protection
to food provision. Worldwide, these ecosystems are in danger of disappearing if they cannot …

Coastal wetland ecosystems are expected to migrate landwards in response to rising seas.
However, due to differences in topography and coastal urbanization, estuaries vary in their …

Coastal responses to sea level rise (SLR) include inundation of wetlands, increased
shoreline erosion, and increased flooding during storm events. Hydrodynamic parameters …

In the 21st century, accelerated sea‐level rise and continued coastal development are
expected to greatly alter coastal landscapes across the globe. Historically, many coastal …

In addition to their being vital components of mid-to high-latitude coastal ecosystems, salt
marshes contain 0.1% of global sequestered terrestrial carbon. Their sustainability is now …

Observations of woody plant mortality in coastal ecosystems are globally widespread, but
the overarching processes and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This …

This paper aims to fundamentally assess the resilience of salt marsh-mudflat systems under
sea level rise. We applied an open-source schematized 2D area model (Delft3D) that …

Rapid evolution remains a largely unrecognized factor in models that forecast the fate of
ecosystems under scenarios of global change. In this work, we quantified the roles of …
