Global spatial dataset of mangrove genus distribution.
In recent conservation research, studies emphasize the critical role mangrove forests play in coastal protection against waves and tsunamis.
These findings underscore the importance of mangroves in enhancing the resilience of coastal regions facing global climate change.
Researchers have discovered the non-linear relationship between ecosystem services, such as coastal protection, and the temporal and spatial variability in mangrove ecosystems.
Furthermore, studies highlight the effectiveness of mangrove forests in attenuating surface wave energy, contributing significantly to coastal defense strategies.
