Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Journal of Geophysical Research"
DOI: 10.1002/2017jc012887
Abstract: Secular tidal trends are present in many tide gauge records, but their causes are often unclear. This study examines trends in tides over the last century in the Chesapeake and Delaware Bays. Statistical models show… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2758
Abstract: Abstract Climate change impacts, such as accelerated sea‐level rise, will affect stress gradients, yet impacts on competition/stress tolerance trade‐offs and shifts in distributions are unclear. Ecosystems with strong stress gradients, such as estuaries, allow for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9033
Abstract: Abstract Mollusks are an important component of the mangrove ecosystem, and the vertical distributions of molluscan species in this ecosystem are primarily dictated by tidal inundation. Thus, sea level rise (SLR) may have profound effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.5050
Abstract: The landscape setting of estuaries varies widely and is an important aspect of determining how they evolve. This paper focusses on alluvial estuaries in river valleys and how they respond to sea level rise. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11444
Abstract: An accelerating global rate of sea level rise (SLR), coupled with direct human impacts to coastal watersheds and shorelines, threatens the continued survival of salt marshes. We developed a new landscape‐scale numerical model of salt… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.11661
Abstract: Interior marsh pond formation has been commonly observed in tidal marshes affected by high rates of relative sea level rise (RSLR). However, it is difficult to conclude whether an accretion deficit (accretion which does not… read more here.

Halophytes can salinize soil when competing with glycophytes, intensifying effects of sea level rise in coastal communities

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-017-3896-2
Abstract: Sea level rise (SLR) and land-use change are working together to change coastal communities around the world. Along Florida’s coast, SLR and large-scale drying are increasing groundwater salinity, resulting in halophytic (salt-tolerant) species colonizing glycophytic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00477-018-1568-3
Abstract: The estimation of long-term sea level variability is of primary importance for a climate change assessment. Despite the value of the subject, no scientific consensus has yet been reached on the existing acceleration in observed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10236-020-01383-3
Abstract: Tidally dominated coasts are directly affected not only by projected rise in mean sea level, but also by changes in tidal dynamics due to sea level rise and bathymetric changes. By use of a hydrodynamic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-020-02408-0
Abstract: The cordgrass Spartina anglica C.E. Hubbard (Poaceae) is an invasive transformer in many salt marsh ecosystems worldwide. Relatively little is known about the capacity of Spartina to accelerate salt marsh succession and to protect salt… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10584-017-1963-7
Abstract: Rising sea levels are increasing the exposure of populations and infrastructure to coastal flooding. While earlier studies estimate magnitudes of future exposure or project rates of sea level rise, here, we estimate growth rates of… read more here.
