沿海盐沼提供全球重要的生态系统服务,包括“蓝碳”封存,防洪,污染物修复,栖息地提供和文化价值。由于土地开垦、堤坝建设和污染,大部分沼泽地已经消失或破碎。海平面上升阻碍了向海岸线已开发的陆地迁移,威胁着沼泽的生存。基于研究的盐沼保护和恢复工作有助于防止进一步的损失,但仍然存在重大的知识差距。使用混合方法的方法,本文确定了10个研究重点,通过在线调查问卷和住宅研讨会参加了一个国际,多学科网络的35盐沼专家跨越自然,物理和社会科学的研究,政策和从业者部门。优先事项被分为四个专题研究领域:盐沼地区范围,变化和恢复潜力(包括过去,现在,全球变化),生态系统服务提供的空间-社会背景(例如环境背景,气候变化和利益相关者群体对服务提供的影响),盐沼功能的模式和过程(盐沼生态系统结构/功能的全球驱动因素)以及管理和政策需求(管理如何根据背景变化;管理的挑战/机遇)。虽然不打算是详尽无遗的,挑战,机遇和战略,解决每个研究重点在这里检查,提供了一个蓝图,需要做的工作,以保护盐沼为子孙后代。
Coastal saltmarshes provide globally important ecosystem services including ‘blue carbon’ sequestration, flood protection, pollutant remediation, habitat provision and cultural value. Large portions of marshes have been lost or fragmented as a result of land reclamation, embankment construction, and pollution. Sea level rise threatens marsh survival by blocking landward migration where coastlines have been developed. Research-informed saltmarsh conservation and restoration efforts are helping to prevent further loss, yet significant knowledge gaps remain. Using a mixed methods approach, this paper identifies ten research priorities through an online questionnaire and a residential workshop attended by an international, multi-disciplinary network of 35 saltmarsh experts spanning natural, physical and social sciences across research, policy, and practitioner sectors. Priorities have been grouped under four thematic areas of research:Saltmarsh Area Extent,Change and Restoration Potential(including past, present, global variation),Spatio-social contexts of Ecosystem Service delivery(e.g. influences of environmental context, climate change, and stakeholder groups on service provisioning),Patterns and Processes in saltmarsh functioning(global drivers of saltmarsh ecosystem structure/function) andManagement and Policy Needs(how management varies contextually; challenges/opportunities for management). Although not intended to be exhaustive, the challenges, opportunities, and strategies for addressing each research priority examined here, providing a blueprint of the work that needs to be done to protect saltmarshes for future generations.
