The broad footprint of climate change from genes to biomes to people (2016, background): “In island and coastal communities, coral reefs can reduce wave energy by an average of 97% (174), and coastal ecosystems such asmangroves and tidal marshes buffer storms (175), while on land intact native forests are important in reducing the frequency and severity of floods (176).”
Wave-induced dynamics of flexible blades (2015, background): “Given the ability of aquatic plants to stabilize the substrate, filter nutrients from the water column and provide habitat, recent studies suggest that the creation and restoration of vegetated ecosystems may provide cost-effective, sustainable, and ecologically sound coastal protection in the face ”
Flood hazard risk assessment model based on random forest (2015, background): “Worse still, flooding events are expected to increase in frequency and intensity in coming years due to rising sea levels and more frequent extreme precipitation events (Ramin and McMichael, 2009; IPCC, 2007; Stijn et al., 2013; Jonathan et al., 2013).”
Climate Change Impacts on Rural Poverty in Low-Elevation Coastal Zones (2015, background): “…the disappearance and degradation of many coastal and near-shore ecosystems means less protection against sea-level rise, storm surge, saline intrusion and erosion (Barbier 2014; Barbier et al. 2011; Gedan et al. 2011; IPCC Working Group II 2014; Spalding et al. 2014; Temmerman et al. 2013).”
Effects of ocean sprawl on ecological connectivity: impacts and solutions (2017, background): “In some coastal areas, however, the ideal management response may be to reduce dependence on artificial structures by conserving, restoring and creating natural habitats (Fig. 1c; Table 2; Temmerman et al., 2013; Dafforn et al., 2015b).”
Engineer pioneer plants respond to and affect geomorphic constraints similarly along water-terrestrial interfaces world-wide (2015, background): “Within salt marshes and mangroves they are 182 superimposed onto gradients of wave energy, tide influence, micro-topography and 183 salinity from the seashore to inland (Thom, 1967; Fig.”
The superior effect of nature based solutions in land management for enhancing ecosystem services. (2018, background): “Therefore, nature based solutions (NBSs) to restore and rehabilitate degraded ecosystem can be a sustainable and successful strategy (Temmerman et al., 2013; Laughlin, 2014; Nel et al., 2014).”
A global map of mangrove forest soil carbon at 30 m spatial resolution (2018, background): “…habitats for fish, birds and marine mammals (Mumby et al 2004, Nagelkerken et al 2008), act as effective nutrient filters (Robertson and Phillips 1995), buffer coastal communities from storm surges (Gedan et al 2011) and support numerous rural economies (Spalding et al 2014, Temmerman et al 2013).”
A critical analysis of the impacts of COVID-19 on the global economy and ecosystems and opportunities for circular economy strategies (2020, positive): “Beaches constitute the interface between land and ocean, offering coastal protection from marine storms and cyclones (Temmerman et al., 2013), and are an integral part of natural capital assets found in coastal”
Profiling risk and sustainability in coastal deltas of the world (2015, background): “Policies aimed at reducing the apparent levels of risk often employ costly engineering solutions that may be inherently unsustainable (13-15).”
