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 …

Coastal marshes are considered to be among the most valuable and vulnerable ecosystems
on Earth, where the imminent loss of ecosystem services is a feared consequence of sea …

Salt marshes are dynamic systems able to laterally expand, contract, and vertically accrete
in response to sea level rise. Here, we present the grand challenges that need to be …

The response of coastal wetlands to sea-level rise during the twenty-first century remains
uncertain. Global-scale projections suggest that between 20 and 90 per cent (for low and …

Abstract The Dynamic Interactive Vulnerability Assessment Wetland Change Model
(DIVA_WCM) comprises a dataset of contemporary global coastal wetland stocks (estimated …

Ecosystems provide multiple ecosystem services (ES) to society. Ignoring the multi-
functionality of land systems in natural resource management generates potential trade-offs …

Coastal wetlands such as mangrove forests and saltmarshes provide a range of important
benefits to people, broadly defined as ecosystem services. These include provisioning …

Coastal wetland ecosystems are expected to migrate landwards in response to rising seas.
However, due to differences in topography and coastal urbanization, estuaries vary in their …

Coastal wetlands are among the most valuable ecosystems on Earth, where ecosystem
