Journal ArticleDOI
The value of estuarine and coastal ecosystem services
Edward B. Barbier,Sally D. Hacker,Chris J. Kennedy,Evamaria W. Koch,Adrian C. Stier,Brian R. Silliman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the main ecological services across a variety of estuarine and coastal ecosystems (ECEs) including marshes, mangroves, nearshore coral reefs, seagrass beds, and sand beaches and dunes are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A blueprint for blue carbon: toward an improved understanding of the role of vegetated coastal habitats in sequestering CO2
Elizabeth Mcleod,Gail L. Chmura,Steven Bouillon,Rodney Salm,Mats Björk,Carlos M. Duarte,Carlos M. Duarte,Catherine E. Lovelock,William H. Schlesinger,Brian R. Silliman +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify key areas of uncertainty and specific actions needed to address them and identify the value of mangrove forests, seagrass beds, and salt marshes in sequestering carbon dioxide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coastal Ecosystem-Based Management with Nonlinear Ecological Functions and Values
Edward B. Barbier,Evamaria W. Koch,Brian R. Silliman,Sally D. Hacker,Eric Wolanski,Jurgenne H. Primavera,Elise F. Granek,Stephen Polasky,Shankar Aswani,Lori A. Cramer,David M. Stoms,Chris J. Kennedy,David Bael,Carrie V. Kappel,Gerardo M. E. Perillo,Denise J. Reed +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, a survey of wave attenuation data from field studies of mangroves, salt marshes, seagrass beds, nearshore coral reefs, and sand dunes reveals that these relationships are rarely linear.
Journal ArticleDOI
The present and future role of coastal wetland vegetation in protecting shorelines: answering recent challenges to the paradigm
Keryn B. Gedan,Matthew L. Kirwan,Eric Wolanski,Eric Wolanski,Edward B. Barbier,Brian R. Silliman +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conduct a literature review and a small meta-analysis of wave attenuation data, and find overwhelming evidence in support of established theory that mangrove and salt marsh vegetation afford context-dependent protection from erosion, storm surge, and potentially small tsunami waves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Centuries of Human-Driven Change in Salt Marsh Ecosystems
TL;DR: It is concluded that the best way to protect salt marshes and the services they provide is through the integrated approach of ecosystem-based management.
