Intertidal wetlands such as mangrove and saltmarsh are increasingly susceptible to areal
losses related to sea level rise. This exposure is potentially offset by processes that might …

Mangrove ecosystems provide a wide range of goods and services including timber,
fuelwood and fish products, for the local population and nationwide. However, these …

Mangroves are expanding polewards due to global change, often encroaching into adjacent
temperate saltmarshes. In both vegetated ecosystems, brachyurans are responsible for …

Mangrove distribution patterns at regional scales are influenced by additional factors
besides temperature and rainfall regimes. This study identified abiotic drivers of mangrove …

For coastal communities living in low elevation Pantai Acheh of Penang, Malaysia,
salinization of groundwater caused by sea level rise (SLR) could pose a daunting challenge …

Long-term closure of the Kobonqaba Estuary mouth to the sea resulted in high water levels,
