• Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, background): “2008; ProAct Network 2008; Tornqvist and Meffert 2008), increasing vulnerability of coastal communities to extreme events (Danielsen et al. 2005).”
• GLOBAL MARINE BIODIVERSITY TRENDS (2006, background): “Loss of mangroves causes declines in fisheries’ productivity (169) and amplifies the effects of storms and tsunamis (170).”
• Contemporary forest restoration: A review emphasizing function (2014, background): “Nevertheless, increased interest in ‘‘soft-engineering’’ approaches to water management (Day et al., 2003; Borsje et al., 2011), combined with predictions of coastal vulnerability to sealevel rise may change perceptions of feasibility (Danielsen et al., 2005; Zhang et al., 2012).”
• Securing ocean benefits for society in the face of climate change (2013, neutral): “, [33–43]).”
• A new vision for New Orleans and the Mississippi delta: applying ecological economics and ecological engineering (2006, background): “Coastal ecosystems such as marshes and forested wetlands, whether naturally occurring or ecologically engineered, play a significant role in reducing the influence of hurricanes and even tsunami waves (Farber 1987; Mitsch and Gosselink 2000; Danielsen et al. 2005).”
• Cost-benefit analysis in the context of ecosystem services for human well-being: A multidisciplinary critique (2011, background): “For example, the disaster-mitigation value of coastal mangroves became widely evident only after the crushing tsunami of 26 December 2004 (Danielsen et al., 2005).”
• Mangrove root: adaptations and ecological importance (2016, background): “Mangroves and Casuarina plantations reduced tsunamiinduced waves and have been shown to protect shorelines against damage (Danielsen et al. 2005).”
• The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “For example, large structurally complex plants like mangroves provide buffers from waves and storms (e.g., Danielsen et al., 2005).”
• An ecosystem services framework to support both practical conservation and economic development (2008, background): “Operating at this optimal level would have saved subsidy funds that were used to develop the farms, provided sustainable jobs for the region, and retained more of the natural mangrove habitat that is key to storm protection (21) and the provision of other ecosystem services.”
• Using return‐on‐investment to guide restoration: a case study from Hawaii (2008, background): “2007; Millennium Ecosystem Assessment 2003) and, in extreme cases, the human and ecological disasters precipitated by its loss (Danielsen et al. 2005; Zhang et al. 2000).”
