Tidal marsh plant responses to elevated CO2 , nitrogen fertilization, and sea level rise.
Elevated CO2 and nitrogen (N) addition directly affect plant productivity and the mechanisms that allow tidal marshes to maintain a constant elevation relative to sea level, but it remains unknown how these global change drivers modify marsh plant response to sea level rise. Here we manipulated factorial combinations of CO2 concentration (two levels), N availability (two levels) and relative se...
متن کاملForecasting the effects of accelerated sea-level rise on tidal marsh ecosystem services
© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org T wetlands such as salt, brackish, and freshwater marshes provide essential ecosystem services to society. Such services include functions associated with regulation, habitat, and production (Daily et al. 1997; de Groot et al. 2002). Positioned at the interface between land and sea, tidal marshes are uniquely suited to provide ecosy...
متن کاملModeling Tidal Marsh Distribution with Sea-Level Rise: Evaluating the Role of Vegetation, Sediment, and Upland Habitat in Marsh Resiliency
Tidal marshes maintain elevation relative to sea level through accumulation of mineral and organic matter, yet this dynamic accumulation feedback mechanism has not been modeled widely in the context of accelerated sea-level rise. Uncertainties exist about tidal marsh resiliency to accelerated sea-level rise, reduced sediment supply, reduced plant productivity under increased inundation, and lim...
متن کاملEvaluating Tidal Marsh Sustainability in the Face of Sea- Level Rise: A Hybrid Modeling Approach Applied to San
Background: Tidal marshes will be threatened by increasing rates of sea-level rise (SLR) over the next century. Managers seek guidance on whether existing and restored marshes will be resilient under a range of potential future conditions, and on prioritizing marsh restoration and conservation activities. Methodology: Building upon established models, we developed a hybrid approach that involve...
