Climate change is driving a fundamental reorganization of the coastal zone, in which carbon-
rich ecosystems are simultaneously migrating, accreting and submerging. In this Review, we …

The concept of estuarine dependence by various fish species has been widely discussed
and written about by ichthyologists for decades. In this review we selected single, well …

Tidal marsh survival in the face of sea level rise (SLR) and declining sediment supply often
depends on the ability of marshes to build soil vertically. However, numerical models …

Extinction of species, and even clades, is a normal part of the macroevolutionary process.
However, several times in Earth history the rate of species and clade extinctions increased …

Remote sensing can provide critical information about the health and productivity of coastal
wetland ecosystems, including extent, phenology, and carbon sequestration potential …

Extensive loss of salt marshes in back‐barrier tidal embayments is ongoing worldwide as a
consequence of land‐use changes, wave‐driven lateral marsh erosion, and relative sea …

Saltmarshes are widely thought to sequester carbon at rates significantly exceeding those
found in terrestrial environments. This ability arises from the in-situ production of plant …

Managed realignment (MR) involves the landward relocation of sea defences to foster the
(re) creation of coastal wetlands and achieve nature-based coastal protection. The wider …

The development and expansion of ponds within otherwise vegetated coastal marshes is a
primary driver of marsh loss throughout the world. Previous studies propose that large ponds …

Coastal marsh loss is commonly attributed to changes in external forcings, such as an
increase in sea-level rise rate or a reduction in sediment supply. Here we show that …
