Biogeomorphic wetlands cover 1% of Earth's surface but store 20% of ecosystem organic
carbon. This disproportional share is fueled by high carbon sequestration rates and effective …

Seagrass meadows are vital ecosystems in coastal zones worldwide, but are also under
global threat. One of the major hurdles restricting the success of seagrass conservation and …

For more than a century, coastal wetlands have been recognized for their ability to stabilize
shorelines and protect coastal communities. However, this paradigm has recently been …

Restoration is becoming a vital tool to counteract coastal ecosystem degradation. Modifying
transplant designs of habitat-forming organisms from dispersed to clumped can amplify …

Over the last decades, population densities in coastal areas have strongly increased. At the
same time, many intertidal coastal ecosystems that provide valuable services in terms of …

Restoration has been elevated as an important strategy to reverse the decline of coastal
wetlands worldwide. Current practice in restoration science emphasizes minimizing …

Vegetation recovery in disturbance‐driven ecosystems is difficult to predict. We demonstrate
a concept to analyse time series for short‐term variability in external forcing that can identify …

Physical processes limiting colonization of bare tidal flats by pioneer mangrove species
have commonly been described but not yet quantified. Understanding thresholds to early …

Intertidal wetlands such as saltmarshes and mangroves provide numerous important
ecological functions, though they are in rapid and global decline. To better conserve and …

Coastlines have traditionally been engineered to maintain structural stability and to protect
property from storm‐related damage, but their ability to endure will be challenged over the …
