This review evaluates the importance of plants and associated biological processes in
determining the vulnerability of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise. Coastal wetlands occur …

Governance plays an important role in coastal wetland protection and restoration. Through a
review of the literature on the governance of coastal wetlands, we assessed the drivers …

Nature-based coastal protection is increasingly recognised as a potentially sustainable and
cost-effective solution to reduce coastal flood risk. It uses coastal ecosystems such as …

Coastal flooding and erosion cause significant social and economic impacts, globally. There
is a growing interest in using natural habitats such as mangroves to defend coastlines. The …

Mangrove forests are valuable coastal ecosystems that have been shown to persist on
muddy intertidal flats through bio‐morphodynamic feedbacks. However, the role of coastal …

We tested the hypothesis that mangroves provide better coastal protection than salt marsh
vegetation using 10 1,008‐m2 plots in which we manipulated mangrove cover from 0 to …

Aim Over the past 50 years, anthropogenic activities have led to the disappearance of
approximately one‐third of the world's mangrove forests and their associated ecosystem …

Many mangrove forests occur along estuaries and deltas are experiencing irreparable
losses throughout the world due to changes in natural factors and intensive anthropogenic …

Coastal ecosystems provide important services to human population, such as nurseries for
fish, carbon storage and coastal protection. However, the pressure faced by these systems …

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), such as mangroves, saltmarshes, and seagrasses, are
important nature-based solutions for climate change mitigation and adaptation but are …
