Multiple Stable States and Catastrophic Shifts in Coastal Wetlands: Progress, Challenges, and Opportunities in Validating Theory Using Remote Sensing and Other Methods

“…Much of this coastal population is directly or indirectly affected by coastal flood risks, even as such risks might be mitigated by forward-thinking coastal wetland management and preservation [7]. Stratigraphic and paleoecological evidence documents that coastal wetlands have adapted to marine transgressions and regressions throughout the Holocene [8][9][10][11][12][13]. Hence, coastal wetlands appear to be self-sustaining ecosystems despite human, climate, and sea level impacts.…”

Relative sea-level change in Connecticut (USA) during the last 2200 yrs

“…There is no meaningful deviation from zero sea-level change in Florida until the onset of modern rates of Carolina (Brain et al, 2015). Therefore, it is necessary to seek an alternative mechanism to explain the 475 476 spatial differences among reconstructions.…”

Evolución histórica y geomorfología de las explotaciones salineras en marismas mareales. Ejemplos de la bahía de Cádiz

“…En las marismas de nuestras latitudes, la tendencia general al ascenso eustático tras la última glaciación, unida a la compactación del sedimento arcilloso típico de los ambientes de marisma, han provocado un aumento de la profundidad de acomodación sedimentaria, favoreciendo la acreción vertical (Allen, 2000;Brain et al, 2015). En el caso atlántico español la velocidad de sedimentación en estuarios y marismas fue máxima durante los primeros episodios de ascenso eustático holoceno, entre 10000 y 6500 años BP, con tasas de unos 5 mm año -1…”
