Nature-based flood risk mitigation in river deltas is most effective with upstream and channel-fringing mangroves

2024-05-16

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Global changes induce increased flood risks in river deltas, which concentrate a large portion of the global population and economic activity. Nature-based solutions, such as the conservation and restoration of mangroves in tropical river deltas, are considered a sustainable addition to expensive engineered flood defence systems. However, we currently lack science-based guidelines on wh...
