AbstractCoastal wetlands, including tidal marshes, mangrove forests and tidal flats, support the livelihoods of millions of people. Understanding the resilience of coastal wetlands to the increasing number and intensity of anthropogenic threats (such as habitat conversion, pollution, fishing and climate change) can inform what conservation actions will be effective. In this Review, we synthesize anthropogenic threats to coastal wetlands and their resilience through the lens of scale.

Motivation Explicitly considering spatial and temporal scale is crucial when studying stability of ecological systems (Levin, 1992; Chase et al., 2018). Because both scale and stability can be defined in different ways (Pimm, 1984; Grimm and Wissel, 1997; Donohue et al., 2016), it is important to explicitly consider the scales at which major ecosystem processes, perturbations, and observations take place—and how each of these scales interact with the stability metric used.

To explore the relationship between different scales of plant biodiversity and spatial variability of productivity, we used observational (i.e., pre-treatment) data from 83 natural and semi-natural grassland ecosystems in 18 countries across 6 continents (see Fig. 2 and Supplementary Table 1) that are part of the Nutrient Network collaborative experiment (NutNet)28.
