Limited seed retention during winter inhibits vegetation establishment in spring, affecting lateral marsh expansion capacity

Limited seed retention during winter inhibits vegetation establishment in spring, affecting lateral marsh expansion capacity

Abstract Coastal systems worldwide deliver vital ecosystem services, such as biodiversity, carbon sequestration, and coastal protection. Effectivity of these ecosystem services increases when vegetation is present. Understanding the mechanisms behind vegetation establishment in bio‐geomorphic system...
