Effects of mangrove cover on coastal erosion during a hurricane in Texas, USA
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 …

Quantifying how changing mangrove cover affects ecosystem carbon storage in coastal wetlands
Despite overall global declines, mangroves are expanding into and within many subtropical
wetlands, leading to heterogeneous cover of marsh–mangrove coastal vegetation …
