Climate change is altering naturally fluctuating environmental conditions in coastal and estuarine ecosystems across the globe. Departures from long-term averages and ranges of environmental variables are increasingly being observed as directional changes [e.g., rising sea levels, sea surface temperatures (SST)] and less predictable periodic cycles (e.g., Atlantic or Pacific decadal oscillations) and extremes (e.g., coastal flooding, marine heatwaves). Quantifying the short- and long-term impacts of climate change on tidal marsh seascape structure and function for nekton is a critical step toward fisheries conservation and management. The multiple stressor framework provides a promising approach for advancing integrative, cross-disciplinary research on tidal marshes and food web dynamics. It can be used to quantify climate change effects on and interactions between coastal oceans (e.g., SST, ocean currents, waves) and watersheds (e.g., precipitation, river flows), tidal marsh geomorphology (e.g., vegetation structure, elevation capital, sedimentation), and estuarine and coastal nekton (e.g., species distributions, life history adaptations, predator-prey dynamics). However, disentangling the cumulative impacts of multiple interacting stressors on tidal marshes, whether the effects are additive, synergistic, or antagonistic, and the time scales at which they occur, poses a significant research challenge. This perspective highlights the key physical and ecological processes affecting tidal marshes, with an emphasis on the trophic linkages between marsh production and estuarine and coastal nekton, recommended for consideration in future climate change studies. Such studies are urgently needed to understand climate change effects on tidal marshes now and into the future.

气候变化正在改变全球沿海和河口生态系统中自然波动的环境条件。随着方向变化[例如，海平面上升，海面温度（SST）]和难以预测的周期性周期（例如，大西洋或太平洋年代际振荡）和极端情况（例如，），越来越多地观察到偏离长期平均值和环境变量的范围，沿海洪水，海洋热浪）。量化气候变化对潮汐沼泽海景结构和功能的短期和长期影响，是迈向渔业保护和管理的关键一步。多重压力框架为推进潮汐沼泽和食物网动力学的综合，跨学科研究提供了一种有前途的方法。它可用于量化气候变化对沿海海洋（例如，海温，洋流，海浪）和流域（例如，降水，河流流量），潮汐沼泽地貌（例如，植被结构，海拔资本，沉积物）的影响以及它们之间的相互作用。 ，以及河口和沿海的尼克顿（例如物种分布，生活史适应，捕食者-猎物动态）。然而，要弄清多种相互作用的压力源对潮汐沼泽的累积影响，无论其影响是累加的，协同的还是拮抗的，以及它们发生的时间尺度，都构成了重大的研究挑战。这种观点突出了影响潮汐沼泽的关键物理和生态过程，并着重强调了沼泽生产与河口和沿海尼克顿之间的营养联系，建议在以后的气候变化研究中考虑。迫切需要进行此类研究，以了解气候变化现在和将来对潮汐沼泽的影响。
