As rates of sea-level rise accelerate globally, the fate of vegetated coastal ecosystems, such as salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses is uncertain1,2,3,4,5,6. Since these systems often occupy a narrow elevational range, relatively small changes in sea level may lead to substantial ‘drown...
Based on studies of ultramafics in the Arosa zone, Peters (1969) concluded, that the geological setting, the paleo- geography and tectonics but also the whole complexity of metamorphism should be considered. This is still not really ascertained for all the South Penninic nappes and addi- ...
The fate of coastal ecosystems depends on their ability to keep pace with sea-level rise—yet projections of accretion widely ignore effects of engineering fauna. Here, we quantify effects of the mussel, Geukensia demissa, on southeastern US saltmarsh ac

while overall mean water depth is a better indicator for storm frequency. The regression parameters were used to run a simple model simulating the effect of various sea-level scenarios on accretion and show that, even under extreme scenarios of sea-level rise, these salt marshes can probably per...
Sea-level rise will become a worldwide threat to coastal marshes by affecting the marsh vegetation through an increased number of tidal floodings and an increase in wave energy. The survival of salt marshes depends on the accretionary balances in both th
