Abstract

As lateral erosion can threaten valuable saltmarsh habitats and their capacity to protect the hinterland from waves and floods, there is a need to understand the mechanisms of erosion. We monitored lateral saltmarsh erosion at high spatiotemporal resolution during a 2.5 year period. We performed terrestrial laser scans (TLS) with centimetric spatial resolution, ca monthly, as well as before and after 2 wind events to assess morphological change of a saltmarsh cliff (
