Salt Marsh Responses to Tidal Restriction and Restoration

摘要: People have had many reasons to build structures across tidal marshes that restrict tides, including agriculture, pasture, salt works, flood prevention, transportation, and access uplands. Impacts caused by restrictions vary type of restriction its severity, as well the geomorphology system. In most cases flow can be restored, at least partially, through monitoring, physical biological responses recovering been found predictable. Restoration exchange is important restore various ecosystem services, such essential fish habitat, reestablish a self-maintaining Unfortunately, enabled landowners developers dwellings infrastructure within areas landward barriers were once flooded highest tides. As documented Reiner (chap. 21, this volume), Adamowicz O’Brien 19, restoration systems has only marginally successful due development or adjacent marsh.
