USGS National Wetlands Research Center: Accretion, Subsidence, and Sea-level Rise
In many marsh types, particularly those with highly organic or deteriorating mineral substrates, surface elevation change is lower than the vertical accretion rate. In some cases, the two processes appear to be completely decoupled. Consequently, the potential for coastal marsh submergence is often being underestimated and should be ...

(Grigg, 1983). Towards the northwest end of the island chain rates of reef growth and accretion are insufficient to keep up with reef erosion and island subsidence and reefs drown. This ... optimal. Hawaiian reefs protected from waves are almost always dominated by finger coral, whose thin vertical branches quickly overgrow other coral species. These patterns suggest that finger coral is the dominant ...
