In the last sentence of the abstract, we mention that “[...] in low marsh zones subject to higher inundation levels, mean storm strength is the major factor affecting marsh accretion, whereas in high marsh zones with lower inundation levels, it is storm frequency that impacts marsh accretion.” This sentence contradicts the findings and suggestions that we mention in our discussion and conclusions. As explained there, the sentence in the abstract should be changed to: “[...] in low marsh zones subject to higher inundation levels, storm frequency is the major factor affecting marsh accretion, whereas in high marsh zones with lower inundation levels, it is mean storm strength that impacts marsh accretion.” The updated affiliation for V.
