The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Insight, part of a Special Feature on Managing Surprises in Complex Systems Ecological and Human Community Resilience in Response to Natural Disasters (2010, background): “Wetland ecosystems-whether forested or not-are critical buffers for mitigating the impacts of hurricanes in coastal areas (Day et al. 2007).”
The Protective Role of Coastal Marshes: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (2011, background): “Whereas the tsunami generated a great deal of inquiry into the protective role of mangroves [2,3,4,5,6], hurricane Katrina focused attention on the role of salt marshes in coastal protection [7,8,9].”
Valuing Ecosystem Services for Coastal Wetland Protection and Restor ation : Progress and Challenges (2013, background): “These historic trends in Gulf Coast wetlands result from flooding from storms in the Gulf, sea level rise, flooding from rivers, natural land subsidence, and human-related activities, such as drainage, filling, canal dredging for navigation, construction of levees and other flood control structures,”
Integrating ecosystem-service tradeoffs into land-use decisions (2012, background): “R high-profile studies (1–4) have emphasized the importance of ecosystems in providing valuable services to humanity, and recent events have provided strong evidence of the value of flood-risk mitigation (5, 6), coastal protection (7, 8), and pollination (9).”
