Abstract: Tidal freshwater wetlands are threatened by climate change, especially by rising sea levels. Until now, research in these wetlands has focused mostly on determining historical and present-day accretion rates without analysing the influence of climate… read more here.

Abstract: Tidal freshwater ecosystems experience acute seawater intrusion associated with periodic droughts, but are expected to become chronically salinized as sea level rises. Here we report the results from an experimental manipulation in a tidal freshwater… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12237-020-00791-4
Abstract: While organic and inorganic nutrient inputs from land are recognized as a major driver of primary production in estuaries, remarkably little is known about how processes within the tidal freshwater zones (TFZs) of rivers modify… read more here.
