Coastal wetland response to sea level rise: an integrative marsh – mangrove study on soil elevation and soil carbon response. University of Antwerp
Coastal wetlands, such as tropical mangrove forests and salt marshes in temperate climates, are unique ecosystems that are often feared to be lost by sea level rise. They can however adapt to a rising sea level to some extent by raising their elevation via sediment accumulation, and they can mitigate climate warming by storing carbon from the atmosphere into their soils. Present insights into the feedbacks between the rates of sea level rise, ...
