Salinization, a widespread threat to the structure and ecological functioning of inland and
coastal wetlands, is currently occurring at an unprecedented rate and geographic scale. The …

Sea level rise and changes in precipitation can cause saltwater intrusion into historically
freshwater wetlands, leading to shifts in microbial metabolism that alter greenhouse gas …

Environmental changes can alter the interactions between biotic and abiotic ecosystem
components in tidal wetlands and therefore impact important ecosystem functions. The …

Primarily because of their high levels of microbiological activity, wetland soils play a key role
in ameliorating nitrogen pollution and reducing nutrient loadings to coastal zones. Saltwater …

Salinity is a major driver of bacterial community composition across the globe. Despite
growing recognition that different bacterial species are present or active at different …

Tidal freshwater ecosystems experience acute seawater intrusion associated with periodic
droughts, but are expected to become chronically salinized as sea level rises. Here we …

Saltwater intrusion poses a global environmental challenge in coastal regions, profoundly
influencing groundwater microbial communities and biogeochemical processes. This study …

Coastal forests worldwide are vulnerable to a dramatic transition from upland to wetland as
sea-level rise accelerates and regimes of precipitation and storms change. However, the …

Several models have been developed for the description of diversity in estuaries and other
brackish habitats, with the most recognized being Remane's Artenminimum (“species …

Purpose Understanding how plant-plant interactions vary across soil stress gradients has
become increasingly critical given rapid global changes. The prominent stress gradient …
