Tidal Marshes across a Chesapeake Bay Subestuary Are Not Keeping up with Sea-Level Rise
Fig 2
Elevation change (black bars and triangles) and surface accretion (gray bars and triangles) at 5 sites across the Nanticoke River subestuary of Chesapeake Bay.
Site numbers 1–5 proceed from downstream brackish marshes to upstream tidal freshwater marshes. Bars represent mean +1 SE of elevation change or accretion rate across 3 replicate subsites, depicted individually as triangles. Rates reflect measurements made from October 2007 through October 2011.
