During sea level rise, salt marshes transgress inland invading low-lying forests, agricultural
fields, and suburban areas. This transgression is a complex process regulated by infrequent …

It is commonly accepted that vegetation patterns and water supply mutually define each
other. In mangroves, soil water salinity and the corresponding osmotic potential are the main …

In the 21st century, accelerated sea‐level rise and continued coastal development are
expected to greatly alter coastal landscapes across the globe. Historically, many coastal …

Agent-based modelling (ABM) has become an established methodology in many areas of
biology, ranging from the cellular to the ecological population and community levels. In plant …

Global climate change (GCC) has the potential of causing sea level rise (SLR) and
precipitation changes in vast extents of coastal areas. SLR and precipitation changes will …

The coastal wetlands of southwest Florida that extend from Charlotte Harbor south to Cape
Sable, contain more than 60,000 ha of mangroves and 22,177 ha of salt marsh. These …

Ecotones represent locations where vegetation change is likely to occur as a result of
climate and other environmental changes. Using a model of an ecotone vulnerable to such …

Coastal ecosystems are especially vulnerable to global change; eg, sea level rise (SLR) and
extreme events. Over the past century, global change has resulted in salt-tolerant …

Sea-level rise is a key component of many climate change scenarios. Such increases are
expected to cause greater coastal inundation by seawater, reduce the depth of the …

Coastal mangrove–freshwater marsh ecotones of the Everglades represent transitions
between marine salt-tolerant halophytic and freshwater salt-intolerant glycophytic …
