Human Actions Alter Tidal Marsh Seascapes and the Provision of Ecosystem Services

Ben L. Gilby et al.

Summary: Tidal marshes play a crucial role in providing ecosystem services, but they are increasingly threatened by human impacts, climate change, and urbanization. Research is needed to better understand the consequences of these stressors and improve management and restoration efforts.

Climate Change Implications for Tidal Marshes and Food Web Linkages to Estuarine and Coastal Nekton

Denise D. Colombano et al.

Summary: Climate change is impacting coastal and estuarine ecosystems worldwide, leading to shifts in environmental conditions and the need to quantify its short- and long-term effects on tidal marsh seascape structure and function. The multiple stressor framework offers a promising approach for understanding the interactions between climate change and other stressors on tidal marshes and coastal ecosystems, highlighting the importance of studying trophic linkages for future climate change research.

Pond Dynamics Yield Minimal Net Loss of Vegetation Cover Across an Unditched Salt Marsh Landscape

Joseph A. M. Smith et al.

Summary: Ponds in salt marshes are often misinterpreted as a sign of degradation, but they can also be part of a natural cyclical process. This study found that in unditched salt marshes, the net pond area has remained stable since 1970, indicating a dynamic equilibrium between pond formation and recovery. Changes in pond dynamics may be occurring independently of each other, possibly due to factors such as a decrease in pond formation rate, an increase in pond breaching rate, and a lag in vegetation recovery rate.
