Laying it on thick: Ecosystem effects of sediment placement on a microtidal Rhode Island salt marsh

Heightened recognition of impacts to coastal salt marshes from sea-level rise has led to expanding interest in using thin-layer sediment placement (TLP) as an adaptation tool to enhance future marsh resilience. Building on successes and lessons learned from the Gulf and southeast U.S. coasts, projec...
