What is SLAMM?• Sea Level Rise Affecting Marshes Model• SLAMM simulates the dominant processes
involved in wetland conversions and shoreline modifications during long-term sea level rise.
• A complex decision tree incorporating geometric and qualitative relationships is used to represent transfers among coastal classes.

Effects of fire on water quality, plant production, and accretion in a Juncus roemerianus marsh
Primary Research Question: What are the effects of prescribed burning on a salt marsh
ecosystem?
How does fire affect:
• Primary productivity • Accretion processes
