DOI: 10.1002/lno.11149
Abstract: Nature‐based mitigation is increasingly proposed as a strategy to cope with global change and related risks for coastal flooding and erosion. Tidal marshes are known to provide shoreline protection as their aboveground biomass attenuates waves… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-020-00520-9
Abstract: Tidal marshes rank among the ecosystems with the highest capacity to sequester and store organic carbon (C org ) on earth. To inform conservation of coastal vegetated ecosystems for climate change mitigation, this study investigated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2021.112187
Abstract: Millions of tons of plastic enter the environment every year, where much of it concentrates in environmental sinks such as tidal marshes. With prior studies documenting harm to marine fauna caused by this plastic pollution,… read more here.

Modeled CO2 Emissions from Coastal Wetland Transitions to Other Land Uses: Tidal Marshes, Mangrove Forests, and Seagrass Beds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Frontiers in Marine Science"
DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2017.00143
Abstract: The sediments of coastal wetlands contain large stores of carbon which are vulnerable to oxidation once disturbed, resulting in high levels of CO2 emissions that may be avoided if coastal ecosystems are conserved or restored.… read more here.
