Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry

Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as efficient carbon sinks. However, about half of these wetlands have been los ...

Unstable Pore-Water Flow in Intertidal Wetlands

David Andrew Barry

Salt marshes are important intertidal wetlands strongly influenced by interactions between surface water and groundwater. Bordered by coastal water, the marsh system undergoes cycles of inundation and exposure driven by the tide. This leads to dynamic, com ...

Modelling of groundwater-vegetation interactions in a tidal marsh

David Andrew Barry

Wetting and drying due to tidal fluctuations affect soil conditions and hence plant growth in tidal marshes. Here, a coupled one-dimensional model was developed to simulate interacting groundwater flow and plant growth in these wetlands. The simulation res ...

Tide-induced surface water and groundwater interactions in coastal wetlands

David Andrew Barry

Intertidal wetlands such as salt marshes are complex hydrological systems characterized by strong, dynamic interactions between coastal surface water and groundwater, driven particularly by tides. We simulated such interactions with a focus on 3D, variably ...

The importance of being coupled: Stable states and catastrophic shifts in tidal biomorphodynamics

Andrea Rinaldo

We describe and apply a point model of the joint evolution of tidal landforms and biota which incorporates the dynamics of intertidal vegetation; benthic microbial assemblages; erosional, depositional, and sediment exchange processes; wind-wave dynamics, a ...

On the drainage density of tidal networks

Andrea Rinaldo

The drainage density of a network is conventionally defined as (proportional to) the ratio of its total channelized length divided by the watershed area, and in practice, it is defined by the statistical distribution and correlation structure of the length ...
