abstract: "Salt
marshes can contribute to coastal protection, but the magnitude of the
protection depends on the width of the marsh. The cross-shore width of the
marsh is to a large extent determined by the delicate balance between seaward
growth and landward retreat. The influence of the magnitude of daily occurring
mild weather conditions and sediment availability on the variability of salt
marsh width has not been systematically assessed. This paper investigates how
the magnitude of homogeneous hydrodynamic forcing, combined with sediment
availability, affects the biophysical development, and more specifically
retreat and expansion of salt marshes. The dynamic extent of the salt marsh is
assessed by modelling online-coupled hydrodynamics, morphodynamics and
vegetation growth using the numerical Delft3D-Flexible Mesh model, coupled with
a vegetation growth module in Python."
