Abstract:Extensive loss of salt marshes in back-barrier tidal embayments is
undergoing worldwide as a consequence of land-use changes, wave-driven
lateral marsh erosion, and relative sea-level rise compounded by mineral
sediment starvation. However, how salt-marsh loss affects the
hydrodynamics of back-barrier systems and feeds back into their
morphodynamic evolution is still poorly understood. Here we use a
depth-averaged numerical hydrodynamic model to investigate the feedback
between salt-marsh erosion and hydrodyna… Show more
