Intertidal mangrove forests are a dynamic ecosystem experiencing rapid changes in extent
and habitat quality over geological history, today and into the future. Climate and sea level …

Mangrove wetlands possess four important characteristics as one of the unique marine
ecosystems, and are found in the intertidal coastal regions of the tropics and subtropics in …

The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …

Coastal flood risks are rising rapidly. We provide high resolution estimates of the economic
value of mangroves forests for flood risk reduction every 20 km worldwide. We develop a …

The response of mangroves to high rates of relative sea level rise (RSLR) is poorly
understood. We explore the limits of mangrove vertical accretion to sustained periods of …

Sea-level rise can threaten the long-term sustainability of coastal communities and valuable
ecosystems such as coral reefs, salt marshes and mangroves,. Mangrove forests have the …

Inter-related and spatially variable climate change factors including sea level rise, increased
storminess, altered precipitation regime and increasing temperature are impacting …

Blue carbon provides opportunities to mitigate climate change while increasing ecosystem
services for coastal communities, including climate change adaptation; however, blue …

Coastal populations and wetlands have been intertwined for centuries, whereby humans
both influence and depend on the extensive ecosystem services that wetlands provide …

Ghost forests created by the submergence of low-lying land are one of the most striking
indicators of climate change along the Atlantic coast of North America. Although dead trees …
