Abstract With increasing global temperatures, it remains unclear, how seedling emergence and survival will be affected in highly dynamic ecosystems like salt marshes. Our study combines passive active warming treatments with the natural inundation dynamics of We studied effects soil air (ambient temperature, + 1.5°C 3.0°C) on numbers different species three marsh zones (pioneer zone, low marsh, high marsh) (lifespan), diversity richness two (low situ. found a significant influence Shannon at...
Abstract Coastal salt marshes have an important role in climate change adaptation and mitigation. Direct indirect responses to warming are expected vary along the marsh elevation gradient, making ecosystem at this marine‐terrestrial ecotone uncertain. The Marsh Ecosystem Response Increased Temperatures (MERIT) experiment was established 2018 on North Sea coast of Germany. Experimental plots evenly distributed over three elevational zones (pioneer, low marsh, high marsh) include temperature...
