OYSTER REEFS MANGROVES CARBON MANAGEMENT SEDIMENT MARINE ECOSYSTEMS COMMUNITIES IMPACTS SEAGRASS WAVE ATTENUATION
Cross-habitat facilitative processes can enhance seascape restoration outcomes but there is uncertainty around the spatial dependencies of these processes across habitats. We synthesised the influence of environmental parameters on six processes underpinning cross-habitat facilitation and identified the linear distances over which they operate between habitats. All six process types occur at distances commonly used in seascape restoration demonstrating how harnessing facilitation can scale-up restoration to meet national and international goals.
