potential of degraded areas in a coastal marsh system of the Hudson Bay Lowland. Journal of
Ecology, 90, 86–99.
Geese and marshes. Measures species abundance, looks at recover rates.

ground beetle and spider assemblages in an Arctic supratidal marsh. Ecoscience, 10, 57–65.
Cannot access, but from CSA abstract seems like a good candidate.

the desertification of an arctic salt marsh. Journal of Ecology, 84, 31–42.
Details the loss of marsh from snow geese.

Sieperda tidal marsh in the Scheldt estuary, the Netherlands. Restoration Ecology 10:438–449.
Possible, need to take a closer look to determine if there is enough info on the shift.
Nice part is they do measure change in function as the marsh comes back.
