Assessment of the potential responses of ecosystem services to anthropogenic threats in the Eten wetland, Peru

Introduction: Coastal wetlands are currently threatened by human drivers, such as agriculture, infrastructure development, and urban sprawl. Pressures on these ecosystems disturb their morphology and biogeochemical cycles, resulting in the degradation of ecosystem services. However, little has been...
