在沿海海洋生态系统中，气候驱动干扰的强度和频率正在增加。了解增强或抑制生态系统对气候扰动的恢复能力的因素至关重要。我们调查了6种主要沿海生物生态系统类型的97名专家，以确定面对气候变化的弹性“亮点”。我们还评估了专家推荐的关于栖息地形成物种对气候扰动的响应的文献。专家调查中普遍报告了弹性（80%的专家）。在全球多个地点的所有生态系统类型中都观察到恢复力。专家和文献认为，剩余的生物栖息地、招聘/连通性、物理环境和本地规模压力源的管理是恢复力的最重要因素。这些发现表明，面对气候变化，沿海生态系统可能仍然具有巨大的持续潜力，并且地方到区域尺度的管理可以帮助缓冲全球气候影响。
Abstract The intensity and frequency of climate‐driven disturbances are increasing in coastal marine ecosystems. Understanding the factors that enhance or inhibit ecosystem resilience to climatic disturbance is essential. We surveyed 97 experts in six major coastal biogenic ecosystem types to identify “bright spots” of resilience in the face of climate change. We also evaluated literature that was recommended by the experts that addresses the responses of habitat‐forming species to climatic disturbance. Resilience was commonly reported in the expert surveys (80% of experts). Resilience was observed in all ecosystem types and at multiple locations worldwide. The experts and literature cited remaining biogenic habitat, recruitment/connectivity, physical setting, and management of local‐scale stressors as most important for resilience. These findings suggest that coastal ecosystems may still hold great potential to persist in the face of climate change and that local‐ to regional‐scale management can help buffer global climatic impacts.
