In this study, we combine geospatial analyses of three European estuaries with a simple numerical model to demonstrate that the development of micro-topographic patterning on tidal flats is an early indicator of marsh establishment. We first show that the development of micro-topographic patterns ...
vegetation, estuariesAn estuary is considered as a partly enclosed body of water that is formed when a river joins the sea. The water of the former is salinated by sea water. Such an estuarine environment is obviously to be found at the mouth of a river and will extend to as far as ...
Nonetheless, a corresponding multi-decadal rise in NATC activity may provide a useful model system for understanding ecosystem damages as TCs intensify globally under climate warming, particularly given that all globally dominant types of coastal marine ecosystems are found in the North Atlantic29 and ...
The estuary ecosystem is characterized by change. For example, in the middle region of estuaries, the water can change from almost completely seawater to almost completely freshwater in just six hours as the tides ebb and flow. The amount of salt found in water is calledsalinity. Unlike many ...
with which they communicate. Tolerance to differences insalinityvaries greatly:stenohaline organisms have a low tolerance to salinity changes, whereaseuryhaline organisms, which are found in areas where river and sea meet (estuaries), are very tolerant of large changes in salinity. Euryhaline organisms...

Marine organisms have developed various modes of feeding to achieve a complete food web in their ecosystem. Marine ecosystems encompass estuaries, coral reefs, open oceans as well as deep-sea oceans, mangrove forests, and salt marshes. Each ecosystem consists of distinct communities of organisms and...
