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 …

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 …

We used a first-of-its-kind comprehensive scenario approach to evaluate both the vertical
and horizontal response of tidal wetlands to projected changes in the rate of sea-level rise …

Vegetated coastal ecosystems sequester carbon rapidly relative to terrestrial ecosystems.
Coastal wetlands are poorly represented in land surface models, but work is underway to …

The coastal ecosystems of temperate North America provide a variety of ecosystem services
including high rates of carbon sequestration. Yet, little data exist for the carbon stocks of …

Tidal marshes have a large capacity for producing and storing organic matter, making their
role in the global carbon budget disproportionate to land area. Most of the organic matter …

Coastal wetlands have two dimensions of vulnerability to sea‐level rise (SLR), a vertical
one, in cases where SLR outpaces their capacity to vertically accrete, and a lateral one, in …

Mangroves can retain both autochthonous and allochthonous marine and/or terrestrial
organic carbon (OC) in sediments. Accurate quantification of these OC sources is essential …

Recent coastal storms and associated recovery efforts have led to increased investment in
nature-based coastal protection, including restoration of salt marshes and construction of …

Tidal wetlands, such as tidal marshes and mangroves, are hotspots for carbon
sequestration. The preservation of organic matter (OM) is a critical process by which tidal …
