Journal ArticleDOI

Climatic controls on the global distribution, abundance, and species richness of mangrove forests

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of air temperature and rainfall regimes on the distribution, abundance, and species richness of mangrove forests was quantified via regional range-limit-specific analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Barriers to and opportunities for landward migration of coastal wetlands with sea-level rise

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show where tidal saline wetlands have the potential to migrate landward along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast, one of the most sea-level rise sensitive and wetland-rich regions of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coastal wetland adaptation to sea level rise: Quantifying potential for landward migration and coastal squeeze

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified and compared the area available for landward migration of tidal saline wetlands and the area where urban development is expected to prevent migration for 39 estuaries along the USA Gulf of Mexico coast.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linear and nonlinear effects of temperature and precipitation on ecosystem properties in tidal saline wetlands

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used climate and literature-derived ecological data from tidal saline wetlands to test hypotheses regarding the influence of climatic drivers on the following six ecosystem properties: canopy height, biomass, productivity, decomposition, soil carbon density, and soil carbon accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessing coastal wetland vulnerability to sea-level rise along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast: Gaps and opportunities for developing a coordinated regional sampling network.

TL;DR: The distribution of SET-MH stations along the northern Gulf of Mexico coast (USA) is quantified across political boundaries, wetland habitats, and ecologically-relevant abiotic gradients to provide data for predicting and preparing for the responses of coastal wetlands to accelerated sea-level rise and other aspects of global change.
