The impact of sea-level rise on organic matter decay rates in Chesapeake Bay brackish tidal marshes
The balance between organic matter production and decay determines how fast coastal wetlands accumulate soil organic matter. Despite the importance of soil organic matter accumulation rates in influencing marsh elevation and resistance to sea-level rise, relatively little is known about how decompos...
