Evaluating Plant-Microbe Associations in Response to Environmental Stressors to Enhance Salt Marsh Restoration

This study investigates how microbial inocula affect salt marsh plants under salinity stress, finding that microbial additions improve plant biomass under high salinity.

Climate-driven mangrove dieback and recovery: a case study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

This study uses remote sensing to analyze mangrove dieback and recovery in Australia, finding cyclical decline and rapid recovery linked to climate factors like ENSO and sea level changes.

Fucoidan carbon is stored in coastal vegetated ecosystems

The paper investigates carbon sequestration in coastal vegetated ecosystems, finding that algal-derived fucoidans are stored in sediments across various ecosystems.

Organo-metal coprecipitation contributes to stable organic carbon fraction in mangrove soil

This study identifies organo-metal coprecipitation as the primary mechanism stabilizing organic carbon in mangrove soils, showing its role in maintaining long-term carbon storage.

Ecological associations of the coastal marsh periwinkle snail Littoraria irrorata: field and laboratory evidence of vegetation habitat preferences

This study examines habitat preferences of Littoraria irrorata snails in salt marshes through field observations and behavioral experiments, finding consistent distribution patterns linked to vegetation types and plant characteristics.

Capturing spatiotemporal variation in salt marsh belowground biomass, a key resilience metric, through geoinformatics

This paper improves a geoinformatics model to predict salt marsh belowground biomass by incorporating field data and hydrologic variables, reducing model error and expanding its applicability.

Soil carbon in the world's tidal marshes

The paper creates the first global, spatially-explicit map of soil organic carbon storage in tidal marshes using environmental data and a new global extent map, estimating total global SOC stock at 1.44 Pg C.
