Differences in grain size, total organic carbon (OC), total nitrogen (TN), OC/TN ratios, and stable isotope (d13C and d15N) were assessed in sediments from areas covered by mangrove and saltmarsh vegetation within Pichavaram estuary (Southeast India). Th...

Saltmarshes, known to be ecologically sensitive areas, face disturbances such as vegetation dieback due to anthropogenic activities such as construction. The current construction specifications recommended by state highway agencies do not specifically re...

The physical and chemical properties of coastal soils in China have changed due to the development of reclaimed stretches of coastline, which has a significant impact on the dynamics of organic carbon (OC) in the soils. We evaluated changes in the physic...

In this study, total organic carbon (TOC), total nitrogen (TN), and stable carbon isotopes (d13C) were measured in surface intertidal saltmarsh and bare tidal flat sediments along the Rudong coast. The distribution and sources of organic carbon were exam...

Saltmarshes are considered as natural coastal defences. However, owing to the large context dependency, there is much discussion over their effectiveness in providing coastal protection and the necessity of additional coastal defence interventions. The m...

Vessel generated waves can impact shoreline stability and habitat structure in many waterways. Sheltered regions, such as coastal plain saltmarshes, support fragile ecosystems and can be particularly vulnerable to the effects of unregulated vessel operat...

Large numbers of people live along and depend upon the world?s coastal resources. Human modifications of the coastal zone, in combination with climate induced environmental changes, have had a major effect on the natural ecological systems. GIS analysis ...

April 20, 2010 marked the start of the British Petroleum Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the largest marine oil spill in US history, which contaminated coastal wetland ecosystems across the northern Gulf of Mexico. We used hyperspectral data from 2010 and 2...

The tsunami triggered by the earthquake of May 22, 1960, flowed violently into the Maullín River estuary. According to eyewitnesses, the tsunami deposited a widespread sand layer throughout the estuarine marshes. The aim of this study was to determine wh...
