About this Research Topic
As one of the most important resources in coastal areas, coastal zone wetlands have high ecological and economic values and are of great significance to promote the sustainable development of coastal areas. In recent years, frequent human activities have triggered the degradation of wetland ecosystems and depletion of natural resources, leading to a series of ecological and environmental problems and restricting the sustainable development of human society. For this reason, countries have introduced and formulated relevant environmental protection policies, such as planning wetland reserves and enacting marine management acts, which have achieved certain results but also restricted the livelihoods of coastal residents, reduced the welfare of groups in the restricted areas, and hindered their further development.
This research topic aims to collect and present the latest research advances in coastal zone wetland ecosystems to better balance the human-earth relationship in coastal zone wetland development and conservation. We encourage researchers to address these fundamental questions in an interdisciplinary manner by sharing new ideas, techniques, and findings on the topic from choice experiments, experimental economics, meta-analysis, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and remote sensing observations. These findings will provide insights into how to balance human-land relationships in coastal zone wetland development and conservation, and suggest new solutions for restoration and sustainable wetland management.
Key topics include, but are not limited to：
• Impacts of human activities on biodiversity, ecological structure and function of coastal zone wetlands
• Vulnerability analysis and risk assessment of coastal zone wetland ecosystems
• The driving mechanism of coastal zone wetland conservation and typical cases of ecological restoration technology and policy system
• Natural asset valuation and accounting of coastal zone wetland ecosystem services and its market-based trading mechanism
• Socio-economic effects of coastal zone wetland conservation and effectiveness of payment ecosystem service
• Dynamic monitoring, early warning and sustainable management of coastal zone wetland ecosystems
