It's really interesting to learn about in smaller plants and streams and even in landscape ecology how patches function similarly.
There's some research on why Louisiana losing their coastal vegetation has influenced the impact of stronger weather storms
StarkRG
Reefs do this, too, and they're all dying now.
KellyJean197
So you should replace your web browser with Ecosia. They use all profits to plant trees!! Over 90 million so far!

I love this! However, at our lake home, all of the surrounding homes have retaining wall while we don't which leads to (1/2)
All of the seaweed piling up in front of our place and rotting forever. It makes me want to put in a retaining wall to stop the stink of it!
isetprettygirlsonfire
What is this a retaining wall for ants?
OnionCutter
Yes, yes it is. Don't be hate'n against ants,...unless its fire ants. those fuckers can die.
BigJewishHulk
Correct, but we sometimes use walls to create new land, then try to add a living shore wall to it. It's all great until the harbor is gone
Most land is created for industrial zones. Great if you can add environmental spaces, but that's not always the case sadly.
eraevous
The dunes preserve need my local beach saved much of it from destruction during violent storms last fall. Several beaches were just gone
HeraldofOmega
The dunes preserve... wat
It is a preserve for Lake Michigan dune ecosystem. Grasses, wildflowers, birds, etc. The plants protected the sand from being washed away.

If the truth is too difficult, you shouldn't' be on the internet, son. Gonna be a rough ride.
Sorry, dude. It’s just the truth.
sdrawkcabmIpleH
How does erosion happen through a wall? Or are they just too short or full of holes?
wandergeist
Rainwater runoff can hit the wall and run parallel to it, eroding the soil behind. Most walls aren't flush at the top and subsidence happens
Oh, that makes sense. Sounds like something a good planning (and drain) would solve. But as I demonstrated myself, it's easy to forget those
Generally drains not allowed because now you're polluting with fertilizer etc. Littoral wetlands like mangroves buffer in *both* directions.
That's true although it's a completely different point. Against waves the wall is sufficient. Plants just solve a bunch of other stuff too.
krugle
Just like how trees on land protect soil from wind erosion

Yea. Farms will also have tree lines to protect their soil from this.

Tree lines and other barriers also reduce runoff. Agricultural runoff is the primary cause of the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico
