Sea level rise adaptation pushes an insular endemic rodent closer to extinction
Understanding how species will respond to a rapidly changing global climate is requisite to conserving biodiversity. Though habitat losses from human...

Prehistoric human migration between Sundaland and South Asia was driven by sea-level rise
Rapid sea-level rise between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the mid-Holocene transformed the Southeast Asian coastal landscape, but the impact on...
-
Evolutionary history of the salt marsh harvest mouse mitogenome is concordant with ancient patterns of sea level rise
Coastal wetland ecosystems support unique biodiversity and are imminently threatened by climate change-driven sea level rise. However, the impact of...
-
Sea-level rise can reverse the conditions that promote the spread of ecosystem engineers
Climate change and its consequences such as sea-level rise will modify environmental gradients, altering the spatial spread and persistence of plant...

Foundations of modeling resilience of tidal saline wetlands to sea-level rise along the U.S. Pacific Coast
ContextTidal saline wetlands (TSWs) are highly threatened from climate-change effects of sea-level rise. Studies of TSWs along the East Coast U.S....
-
Regime shift and changes in sediment morphology driven by sea level rise affect abundance of migratory waders
Regime shifts are likely to have strong impacts on all trophic levels and their interactions. In addition, weather conditions and sea level rise...

Ghost cypress as indicators of sea-level rise in the Neuse River, North Carolina, USA
“Ghost cypress”—standing trees killed by increased salinity—indicate sea-level rise (SLR) effects along lower reaches of many coastal plain rivers....
-
Carbon Dynamics Vary Among Tidal Marsh Plant Species in a Sea-level Rise Experiment
Tidal wetlands are important blue carbon reservoirs, but it is unclear how sea-level rise (SLR) may affect carbon cycling and soil microbial...

Estimated Future Effects of the Sea Level Rise Exemplified by the Wursten Coast
A model considering the scenarios with the future sea level increase and the surface levelling of the Wursten coast (Lower Saxony) should monitor the...

Mangrove Swamps of Brazil: Current Status and Impact of Sea-Level Changes
MangroveMangroves swamps are found in intertidal zones along tropical and subtropical regions around the world. The spatial distribution of these...

Haematology and biochemistry in healthy llamas at sea level
In the last years, there has been an increasing interest in llamas, not only as part of a productive system, but mostly as companion animals. Most...

Sea-Level Rise and the Persistence of Tree Islands in Coastal Landscapes
Naturally formed forest patches known as tree islands are found within lower-statured wetland matrices throughout the world, where they contrast...
-
Evolution of Tidal Marsh Distribution under Accelerating Sea Level Rise
Tidal marshes are important ecological systems that are responding to sea level rise-driven changes in tidal regimes. Human development along the...

Surface Elevation Change Dynamics in Coastal Marshes Along the Northwestern Gulf of Mexico: Anticipating Effects of Rising Sea-Level and Intensifying Hurricanes
Accelerated sea-level rise and intensifying hurricanes highlight the need to better understand surface elevation change in coastal wetlands. We used...

Changes in Sediment Organic Carbon Accumulation under Conditions of Historical Sea-Level Rise, Southeast Saline Everglades, Florida, USA
Mangroves can store more sediment organic carbon (SOC) than freshwater and salt marshes. Understanding how mangroves have responded to historical...

Salinity and inundation effects on Iris pseudacorus: implications for tidal wetland invasion with sea level rise
AimsSea level rise and increases in species invasions are impacting estuarine ecosystems, but physiological tolerances of invasive plants are poorly...

Inundation Regimes of the German Coasts and the Impact of the Rising Sea Level
The sea water influence of coastal areas at the North Sea and the Baltic Sea is fundamentally different due to they respective tidal regimes and...

Assessing the conservation risk of Sphaerodactylus notatus, the U.S. herpetofaunal species most vulnerable to sea level rise
While climate change and sea level rise threaten species across the globe, species in low-lying coastal regions, such as South Florida, are projected...
