Wetlands provide significant ecosystem services yet are ranked among some of the most imperiled habitats. To maximize prioritization of these habitats a better understanding of the full range of ecosystem functions is needed, starting with an examination of how coastal wetlands have been portrayed in restoration literature to date. This study consists of a literature review and the use of automated topic analyses aimed at (1) summarizing the current research related to coastal wetland restoration, (2) identifying the key fields of research, and (3) identifying research efforts connecting restoration and climate adaptation strategies (e.g. blue carbon). Of the 702 papers sourced for this analysis, most studies were conducted in North America and Europe. An increase in articles considering wetland restoration was found from 1985 to October 2020, with 40% of the research published just in the last triennia (2018–2020). Topic division highlights the emergence of studies related to management under climate change (e.g. sea level rise, adaptive management) and to carbon sequestration as separate fields of research from classical ecological studies. This reveals the need to ensure that classical ecological research is not neglected by work relating to climate strategies, which depend upon an accurate understanding of ecological processes.

气候修复：近30年滨海湿地修复研究述评

湿地提供重要的生态系统服务，但被列为一些最危险的栖息地。为了最大限度地优先考虑这些栖息地，需要更好地了解生态系统的所有功能，首先要检查迄今为止恢复文献中对沿海湿地的描述。本研究包括文献综述和自动化主题分析的使用，旨在 (1) 总结与沿海湿地恢复相关的当前研究，(2) 确定关键研究领域，以及 (3) 确定将恢复与气候联系起来的研究工作适应策略（例如蓝碳）。在用于该分析的 702 篇论文中，大多数研究是在北美和欧洲进行的。发现从 1985 年到 2020 年 10 月，考虑湿地恢复的文章有所增加，40% 的研究仅在最近三年（2018-2020 年）发表。主题划分突出了与气候变化管理（例如海平面上升、适应性管理）和碳封存相关的研究的出现，这些研究作为独立于经典生态研究的研究领域。这表明需要确保经典生态研究不会被与气候战略相关的工作所忽视，这取决于对生态过程的准确理解。
