Implication

Synthesis review demonstrates accelerating climate-driven degradation across marine and coastal habitats, highlighting critical ecological tipping points and rising socio-environmental risks.

Key Points

To synthesize the biophysical drivers of climate-induced decline, critical thresholds, and socio-environmental impacts across diverse coastal and marine ecosystems.
Reviewed biophysical drivers including ocean warming, marine heatwaves, ocean acidification, deoxygenation, and sea-level rise across coral reefs, mangroves, seagrasses, and salt marshes.
Synthesized comparative mechanisms of ecosystem vulnerability, threshold responses, feedback loops, and alternative stable-state transitions.
Assessed cascading socio-ecological consequences—such as fishery decline, blue carbon release, and loss of coastal defense—alongside nature-based adaptation strategies.
Coral reefs face acute thermal and carbonate chemistry thresholds, whereas mangrove and tidal wetland resilience is governed by sediment supply and geomorphic setting.
Ecosystem degradation triggers severe socio-environmental consequences, including reduced fishery yields, compromised coastal defense, and the release of stored blue carbon.
Regime shifts and crossing ecological tipping points disproportionately increase human vulnerability in small island nations and developing coastal regions.
