自然生态系统的惠益通常被认为是保护和恢复生境的理由，但衡量这些服务可能具有挑战性。新的研究定量评估了沿海沼泽地提供的生态系统服务，并显示，平滑的灯心草的去除显着增加了海岸侵蚀，清楚地表明沼泽地保护海岸线。
Benefits derived from natural ecosystems are commonly mentioned as justification for protecting and restoring habitats, yet measuring these services can be challenging. New research quantitatively assessed an ecosystem service provided by coastal marshes and revealed that removal of smooth cordgrass significantly increased coastal erosion, clearly demonstrating that marshes protect shorelines.
