Remediating Impacts of Global Climate Change-Induced Submergence on Salt Marsh Ecosystem Functions

Impacts of global climate change, such as sea level rise and severe drought, have altered the hydrology of coastal salt marshes resulting in submergence and subsequent degradation of ecosystem function. A potential method of rehabilitating these systems is the addition of sediment-slurries to increa...
