Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics
Coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics is a research topic within Ecology. Science Explorer counts 36k research works in it since 1950. 29.0% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the importance of mangrove ecosystems in providing coastal protection, carbon sequestration, and various ecosystem services. It discusses the impact of sea-level rise, climate change, and human activities on mangrove forests, as well as the potential for wetland restoration. The research emphasizes the role of mangroves, tidal wetlands, and salt marshes in mitigating global carbon emissions and enhancing resilience to environmental changes.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
