Understanding salt marsh resilience under increasing sea levels can inform for management decisions. We compared temporal projections from various wetland process-based models and a geospatially derived metric (i.e., marsh lifespan) to understand key considerations and uncertainties about salt marsh resilience when using these products for decision-making. The influences of lidar...

Key considerations to accurately predict tidal marsh longevity
A recent study provides key considerations about modeling the timeline of tidal marsh longevity. These timelines can help resource managers envision what future marsh conditions may look like, informing current and long-term adaptive management strategies.
